On stand B150 Precision Rehab will be unveiling the revolutionary iBOT PMD powerchair by Mobius Mobility.  Precision Rehab is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of bespoke powerchairs with over 30 years’ experience in the assessment, sales & servicing of specialist powerchairs, and is the official supplier of iBOT , Paravan, New Live, Eurovema and TrackMaster powerchairs in the UK & Ireland. The company is also an authorised supplier of Dietz & Quickie Sunrise powerchairs.

The iBOT features the latest in powerchair electronics, sensors, battery technology and software to enable the user to overcome barriers to their independence which have previously been inaccessible.  The iBOT has four different driving modes which combine to make it suitable for almost any environment.

Balance Mode provides extra height which enables the user to travel in a raised position and at the same height as their friends, family members or work colleagues which makes conversations and many day-to-day activities such as shopping, working, attending social events, much more enjoyable.  Balance Mode also increases the ground clearance of the main chassis from standard 2.8” (71mm) to an impressive 9.5” (241mm). 

Standard Driving Mode is for when the iBOT is being used as a normal standard wheelchair and is ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Four Wheel Drive Mode ensures the iBOT can overcome individual steps, slopes and various different terrains including soft sand, gravel, rough ground, pebbles, loose ground and snow therefore allowing the user to venture into environments which would not normally be accessible in a powerchair. The Four-Wheel Drive Mode increases the maximum obstacle height to an unrivalled 5” (127mm).

Stair Climbing Mode is what truly sets the iBOT apart from any other powerchair currently available.  By selecting Stair Climbing Mode the iBOT can smoothly climb and descend stairs while being controlled by the user or assisted with an attendant making buildings fully accessible.  This means that powerchair users can live in a house with stairs and not have to always rely on a stairlift or through the floor lift to access other floors.  It can also ensure greater independence and peace of mind when visiting friends or experiencing new places when on holiday.

With standard features including a range of seating options, a maximum user capacity of 136 kg, left or right-handed ergonomic joystick, a tilt in space function for increased comfort combined with a top speed of 6.8mph (10.9kph) the iBOT truly represents the next generation in powerchairs.

“This is fantastic news for powerchair users in the UK as the iBOT takes powerchair technology to a whole new level.  To be appointed as the exclusive UK distributor for such a prestigous powerchair brand is fantastic news for us and our clients and is testamount to the high regard with which Precision Rehab is held here in the UK” commented Matthew James, Director and Co-Founder, Precision Rehab.
