SAN FRANCISCO - TIME Magazine has named WHILL's Model Ci personal electric vehicle one of the “50 Best Inventions of 2018.” The wheelchair was selected out of hundreds of editor and expert submissions from around the world. TIME evaluated each contender on key factors, including originality, creativity, influence, ambition and effectiveness. Of the Ci, TIME wrote, “Thanks to its specially engineered front 'omni-wheels,' it can ride up to 10 miles indoors or outdoors, climb obstacles up to two inches in height and easily navigate cramped quarters; it can also be disassembled in minutes, enabling easy transport.” Also this year, the Ci received the CES “Best of Innovation Award” in the Accessibility Tech category and was named an Engadget “Best of CES 2018” finalist. Additionally, Fast Company has recognized WHILL as one of the “Top 10 Most Innovative Companies” in robotics for 2018.
