The GRIT Freedom Chair : Paraplegic 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.
Many people with spinal cord injuries use the GRIT Freedom Chair to live active lives outdoors. The chair's lever drive uses an ergonomic motion that engages large muscle groups in the chest and shoulders. This can help prevent the shoulder and arm injuries that plague regular wheelchair users.
"Spent three days off the grid camping… getting around definitely would not have been easy for me without my GRIT Freedom Chair." —Evita, T12 paraplegic

—Tyler Rich
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)
