The GRIT Freedom Chair : Cerebral Palsy Wheelchair
Designed by MIT engineers, the GRIT Freedom Chair is a mix between a manual wheelchair and a mountain bike. Thousands of riders around the world use their GRIT Freedom Chairs to live more active lives— hiking on mountain trails, navigating sandy beaches, or just spending quality time with their family.
The GRIT Freedom Chair is a consciously engineered wheelchair for CP riders— in part due to its angled seat and seat back. The seat is angled backward (dumped) 14 degrees from horizontal and the seat back is angled 7 degrees back from vertical. These features keep you secure in a comfortable riding position, even if you have weak abdominal support.
"I continue to enjoy my adventures with the GRIT Freedom Chair. I’ve been spending my time doing something that I have never been able to do before." —Nate, CP
Testimonials from Riders with Cerebral Palsy
Freedom To Go Anywhere
“You have the freedom to go anywhere and do anything… It has opened up countless doors. I’m more visible in my community with this chair. I’m able to traverse entirely by myself without help.”
—Tyler Rich, born with CP
Independence and Ability
"I love watching him speed off ahead of us on whatever path we’re on, enjoying his own independence and ability to fly."
—Jennifer (Ollie’s mother)
