GRIT Freedom Chair

With the GRIT Freedom Chair, you can keep up with any adventure easier than ever before. This rugged all-terrain wheelchair enables users to explore their world without compromising safety or accessibility, and provides a comprehensive upper body workout at the same time!

The GRIT Freedom Chair was designed by MIT engineers and boasts an innovative lever propulsion system that's nearly twice as physically efficient as a standard manual wheelchair. When you need more torque and control, simply manipulate the top of the levers; alternatively, if you need to move quickly and efficiently on flat surfaces like bike paths, you'll want to grab ahold of the base of the levers. This lever propulsion system is adept at traversing difficult terrains, including dirt, grass, and sand, but also expertly navigates paved terrain like sidewalks and roads.

Disassembly is quick and efficient, thanks to the GRIT Freedom Chair's many quick-release parts like its footrest, wheels, and seat back. In fact, this all-terrain wheelchair can be disassembled in as little as 1 minute, with the heaviest piece weighing just 25 lbs. Additionally, with its ability to effortlessly disassemble, the GRIT Freedom Chair can easily fit into the trunks of most cars, including subcompacts and coupes.

When creating the GRIT Freedom Chair, the designers wanted riders to be able to change out any and all components that needed to be exchanged without the hassle associated with proprietary parts. Because of this, all of the GRIT Freedom Chair's moving components are bike parts, which allows users to customize their rig to their heart's content as well as easily maintain faulty, broken, or missing parts.
