 Pulling their way for others
The team of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics seniors at Michigan Tech developed a Human-Powered Off-Road Wheelchair prototype that was created through the mechanical engineering senior capstone course. The 8-speed vehicle is easy to maneuver by pulling back on the handlebars and can reach speeds up to 4 mph, roughly equal to a slow jog, although the speeds are “user dependent.”
