The customer
2KERR Mobility (founded 2017) imports and distributes innovative balance wheelchairs that ride on two wheels without active steering.
The challenge
- Full customisation to the wheelchair’s specifications
- A sleek, modern look to match a premium product
- Production within a tight deadline for a trade-fair launch
- Earlier aluminium rims from Asian suppliers had proved technically inadequate
The Vlukon solution
Close collaboration between Vlukon engineers and 2KERR’s external product developer, flexible production capacity for fast delivery, and smart manufacturing that allowed several design iterations.
Result
“The development went smoothly”, with “efficient and professional” collaboration. The rims were delivered on time for the international trade fair, where the product was successfully launched. Lesson taken on board: rim weight should be fixed earlier in the development phase.
