Mobius Mobility Ibot w/ Laura Gilman

We had the pleasure of speaking with Laura Gilman the Director of External Partnerships for Mobius Mobility. Laura educated us on the amazing Ibot. If the ATV had a quieter, smarter cousin, its name would be the iBOT® PMD. The iBOT® PMD engages four large drive wheels while automatically keeping the seat level. This allows users to traverse varied terrain, to go beyond typical backyard exploration. Hills and inclines are everywhere. Dirt, mud, gravel, snow – the world is covered with the stuff. Explore it all in an iBOT® PMD.
