UPnRIDE has created next-generation, standup wheelchair technology that always keeps users vertical when in a standing position, and features a unique gyro-based, auto-balancing system, as well as hazard detection and avoidance capabilities to ensure that users are, and feel, safe. Unlike other standup wheelchairs currently available, which can only be used indoors or on level surfaces, have a tilted, not upright, default standing position, and are very expensive, the UPnRIDE allows mobility in most urban settings. It can be driven by both the disabled user of the device and a caregiver where appropriate. Source: OurCrowd - https://www.ourcrowd.com/companies/upnride
