Possibilities for new alternative shapes and designs for wheelchairs.

I researched alot of frame designs, and believe I can improve on those existing designs. As I see it, Australia have only two manufacturers of wheelchairs.

Mogo Wheelchairs in Bankstown, and Mobility Plus wheelchairs in Melbourne.

Of which I have owned both.

Designs are old and outdated, Australia needs to implement designs that come into the new century, and match those chairs designed in Australia.

Castors are also out dated, one company in America Colours wheelchairs, has revolutionised the front castors, in which could make wheelchairs in Australia look and feel great.

However, if I was to design my own line of chairs, a few things stand in my way.
1 Money
2 Equipment
3 Factory space
4 Materials
5 Marketing
6 suppliers
7 recieving a head start into the business, not really a thing of hassle, but would be great to recieve advice from someone who already has made their way in the business of designing wheelchairs.

One thing that I have decided on is a name.

Names always have a personnel feel, something close to your heart, whether creative or self meaning.

M.A.R.S

Mathew . And . Raquel . Sarai

simple and easy to know.

With the name would come the added touch of ownership, Red chairs would mention this is M.A.R.S chair
