Early Wheels is an organization centered on providing mobility to children with disabilities. They want the ability for parents to construct the vehicles out of either household materials or with items that are easy to obtain.
Our goal is to design and construct a vehicle that can be attached to a hoverboard and controlled by a motor controller that is wired to the hoverboard. The intended purpose is for it to be controlled by children with disabilities. The frame should be relatively easy to build using materials that are either affordable or readily available. The pieces should be relatively inexpensive to make them accessible to the general public.
The vehicle should be easily controllable by the children, and safe for use by ages 0 – 4. The children should not be able to tip the vehicle, fall out, or accelerate to dangerous speeds. Most of all, our project should be able to support the physical activity and curiosity of these kids.
