Scewo has redefined what an electric wheelchair looks like and can do. In a Scewo Bro, you can dash across uneven terrain, you can adjust your sitting height for conversations, you can even securely climb and descend stairs, all this controlled with your smartphone and a joystick. The fact that Scewo develops all of its soft- and hardware inhouse differentiates the startup from the established competitors that use off-the-shelf control software and allows for cloud-based product updates. Due to these innovative functionalities and the award-winning design, the Scewo Bro might be the first wheelchair the users will be proud to own, and the first one their friends might want to try out themselves.
