This journey is began when our CEO had a motorcycle accident in 1985. He was fortunate not to lose his left leg spending ½ year using a manual wheelchair, he learned first hand how difficult that can be and how much smaller his world became while using it.
As an older man, helping other people select wheelchair products, he saw that powered wheelchairs are still overpriced, decades behind in terms of technology, and so few are manufactured, it seemed like a totally broken system, and an opportunity for new and better products, like ABBY.
