If you know me personally, you know I’ve been on a mission since I was denied an appropriate wheelchair in 2014. You might also know that a solution was found in 2019, after 5 years of being primarily trapped in my rural home.

Modular capacity motor controller with a high threshold for current and multiple actuations means that our flagship product in development at @themif.bsky.social can easily handle all the #disability accommodating features necessary. The Endurance power chair should surpass a 30 year lifespan.
