Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0074622A1] A mobility aid (e.g. for use by infirm or disabled persons) comprises (a) an elongate frame member (2) having front and rear portions relative to the predominant direction of motion of the mobility aid; (b) a pair of first rotatable support members (10) operatively associated with said front portion; (c) a single second rotatable support member (3) operatively associated with said rear portion; and (d) steering means (12; 13; 14) adapted in use to change the direction of motion of the mobility aid. Each of the rotatable support members (b) and (c) may be capable of being independently driven, for example by means of electric motors (a) powered by one or more rechargeable batteries (8), all of which are mounted on the mobility aid.
