Initial Concept Testing


As shown in our video, in collaboration with the Daedalus Engineering team, we were able to develop a full working prototype of what is to become the Juria. In addition to the regular mounted throttle, the Juria will also have wireless throttle control and steering as shown in the video. Furthermore, it is important to keep in mind that the Juria is in its compact form in the video. When unfolded, the Juria will also consist of a reinforced, water-resistant canopy that the passenger will ride in as shown below. The Juria is still in early stages of testing, hence the wooden fork which will be eventually replaced with aluminum. While testing, we noticed a slight issue with the alignment of the motor as the Juria was consistently veering to the left. This alignment issue required a precise software and controller which was obtained from contacting L-faster (Juria's motor manufacturer). Stay tuned for more posts regarding the project and next steps and informative posts about Juria.

About the Juria Project

Our focus is on creating an adaptive electric stroller that caters specifically to the needs of individuals with disabilities and allows them and their families to enjoy hiking trails, beaches, dirt roads, and forests just as we all do. This is not an electric wheelchair, an All-Terrain Trackchair, or a robot that requires extensive training and comes with a hefty price tag. The Juria is a stroller that fills a gap that's been overlooked in the adaptive equipment world. In the status quo, the market offers wheelchairs and robot-like vehicles, but they often miss the mark for many individuals with special needs. Some people require the comfort of a stroller-like configuration, complete with a canopy enclosure for protection from the elements. Others may have sensory issues and prefer the security of an enclosed space. And for those like my brother who can't sit upright for a long time as required in a traditional wheelchair, the options become even more limited. For the past 5 y

Prototype – Parts, Components, and Cost

We're going to use a method similar to a powered wheelchair. It can be steered, moved forwards or backwards, and has two-wheel rear drive. Also, when it stops, it doesn't move easily because of the gearhead in the motor. This could be helpful, especially downhill. A joystick is perfect for this because you can control how fast and in which direction (forward or backward) each motor turns with just one lever. Wike Special Needs Extra Large Bike Trailer Conversion will be done on the Wike extra large trailer. My brother weighs 95lbs and he is 4’11” tall so we chose the extra-large version because it can accommodate an occupant up to 5’10” tall and 150lbs in weight. Our conversion design will also work on the regular-size special needs trailer. Both models are very spacious, safe, and offer the best comfort. All parts and components will be mounted directly on the Wike frame to make it look stock and professional.  WIKE $1,099.99 USD L Faster Dual Motor Kit This is a 500W Motor Le
