About the Wijit
The Wijit is a revolutionary driving and braking system for manual wheelchairs. It uses precision geared levers that amplify the user's pushing power, while reducing strain on the user's shoulders and upper body. Using the Wijit promotes cardiovascular health and is easier and safer to operate.
With the Wijit, even marginal (and child) users can now safely and independently propel, stop and steer their wheelchairs from a comfortable, stable, and upright position.
