“We are excited to be launching this new WHILL model at a time when mobility device users are starting to spend more time outside the house again,” said Kerry Renaud, CEO and Managing Director of WHILL North America. “Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, people with mobility limitations were leading more active lives than ever. We expect this trend to continue as restrictions gradually ease over the coming year.” The Model Ci2 addresses a number of key concerns for the active mobility device user: It disassembles in four steps for easy transportation, has a 29.9″ turning radius that allows the user to make tight turns in narrow spaces, and features new safety enhancements and better overall visibility. The Model Ci2 has also been redesigned to allow for easier transfer in and out of the seat. “WHILL’s goal has always been to provide mobility to those who have difficulty walking so they have the confidence to lead active, fulfilling lives,” said Satoshi Sugie, founder and Global CEO of WHILL. “With the Model Ci2, we’ve taken another big step towards helping people with mobility issues experience the world on their own terms.” The Model Ci2 launched on May 1 and is now available for purchase or test-drive at 250+ locations across North America. The new model comes in three seating widths (16″/18″/20″) and has an MSRP of $4,499 — $500 less than the Model Ci. For more information on the Model Ci2, visit whill.inc.
