The design provides enhanced mobility and stability and capability to turn full 360 degrees in any narrow corridor. It can also go up slant pavements, maintaining stability. It offers high degree of maneuverability to navigate smoothly on ups and downs. Its light weight components (main body and seating) decreases the overall weight without compromising on safety
