FLARE is a mobility that allows individuals with disabilities to break free from physical limitations and experience a new realm of freedom. Its easy-to-use sidecar and streamlined design allow passengers to drive fast yet comfortably. Additionally, it is optimized for balancing and aligning the center of gravity by incorporating relatively larger and wider wheels compared to traditional wheelchairs. Finally, the key features of this mobility is the driving mechanism using a crank, and the steering mechanism using a sidecar that allows the co-pilot to adjust a seat angle to control a direction. Therefore, the two passengers will be able to work together and build trust and team spirit in every moment. These innovative designs will allow them to experience freedom and harmony, presenting them with a sense of accomplishment they have never seen before.
