“This project was a part of a two-month summer internship at IIT, Hyderabad. During this phase, Sathwik and I played a crucial role in designing VGO, an ergonomic and battery-powered clip-on. VGO is an external attachment that transforms a wheelchair into a safe electric three-wheeler.
VGO is one of the most significant inventions in the motorized wheelchair category, enhancing both utility and mobility. This innovation also addresses environmental responsibility as it’s fully electric and can be charged at dedicated docking stations.
