This is unbelievably rad!!! I can see how this would be a major gamechanger for paraplegics and quadriplegics alike. Even though I have full use of my extremities, I would also really like to spend a day cruising around on an Ogo 😉

Besides the speed and sleeker design, what differentiates the Ogo from the iBot wheelchair that also has a 2 wheel configuration?
I hope they do a kickstarter/indiegogo or something. I'd plop down $100 just to support the cause let alone expect to get one at under $10k.
eventual patent trolls can go f&$% themselves cus this deserves to see the light of day and the ass of every single wheelchair bound individual out there.

@taylorhou just quietly... make sure you're on their mailing list...
@taylorhou Hi Taylor, thank you for your support! Here is a link to our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. We need everyone's help to make the Ogo an affordable product :) https://www.indiegogo.com/projec...

Looks amazing and disruptive. How many hours of riding for a full battery charge? And what happens when the battery dies? Can you use it without battery?
@guycherni HI Guy, you will get up to 40km in a single charge. You get a lot of warning before the battery dies, but if you get stuck, the Ogo can move manually via the rims on the wheels :)
I had an active life style I can no longer have and I would love to at least continue training dogs and competing with them which I could do with something like this as well as this would assist me with keep my core muscles fit. This is very important with my disease to keep my upper body healthy and try to remain active and fit as long as I can to remain active to live as long as possible. I have been gaining weight because using a manual chair I am loosing the fight trying to use it for exercise as I have just damaged my left shoulder beyond repair to full recovery. I do not want to end up in a power chair that does not encourage/need any physical activity at all from the user. This is my greatest fear. It will be a long time until I can save enough, but I would like to know how to purchase in the USA.
