        What is P.A.W.S.?

 

 
PAWS is “Parallel All Wheel Steering”— Nextek Mobility Corporation’s new power wheelchair technology. The Powerchair is now available in six-wheel drive.

It is called PAWS because the seat and all of the wheels share a common linkage that allows them to rotate relative to the frame but maintains them parallel to one another. This unique configuration has many advantages.
  • Zero turning radius
  • All wheel drive
  • Simplified operation in tight quarters
  • Dynamic Stability
  • Safety
  • Extraordinary Maneuverability
  • No downhill swerving
  • Easy slope climbing
  • Easy negotiation of uneven surfaces
  • Exceptional performance on slick surfaces

In independent laboratory tests, the PAWS wheelchairs received
the highest scores achievable in all dynamic stability testing.
