Do you know someone with a disability that requires them to use a wheelchair lift in a minivan? I'm in a design class and I need to find people to fill out this short survey so we can get a better idea of what people need in a wheelchair lift. Attached is a survey that can be filled out, please fill out the second page if you own one.
Nigeria (and perhaps Africa as a whole, save South Africa) does not quite have a market for such product. My guestimation is that less than 0.5 of the physically challenged populace can afford a motorized wheelchair, and of those who can, an infinitesimally small amount of them own and/or commute in a van. Perhaps when the market arrives (in another lifetime), you can then come with your product.
This project has long be completed but the product was not manufactured because there are so many models already in the market. Also cost factor was a big deal because we could not get a sponsorship, and the existing disable product companies refused to sponsor US. So we have to graduate to our fate and find jobs somewhere else, Yuck Mechanical Engineering LOL
