1. Strategy Presentation Small Business Group (There are 3 of us.)

2. Disadvantage of Wheelchair Transporting heavy items long distances with a wheelchair can be difficult.

3. Some trikes can carry water. This user switches back into his wheelchair to move around his house.

4. Why adapt a wheelchair? Chair fits in small home. Tricycles do not.

5. Goals Familiarity: whether there needs to be sign/ board in front Cost: using same/ similar parts from wheelchair, Modularity: adaptable Specificity: is manufactured by chair manufacturer- but, should link onto most wheelchair frames. Ease of use: explore importance of being able to be pushed, how device is dismantled/ attached, user should be able to carry the load for a distance of 2 km without needing to rest. Strength: 1 or 2 jerry cans of water (80 lbs) Balance: remain balanced (while fully loaded) while wheelchair is occupied… and as user gets out of the chair… and while user is not in chair.
