Climbing the stairs does not have to be a hassle for wheelchair users. There are already a bunch of wheelchairs designed to solve that very problem. The Scalevo is another stairclimbing wheelchair designed to make life easier for wheelchair users. It is electric powered and balances on two wheels while on an even ground. It has a set of tracks that can be lowered to climb stairs or other obstacles.
