Adjustable Seats

Question: Is there such thing as a wheelchair that adjusts its height by raising its seat? ~Anonymous

Answer: Yes, there are electric wheelchairs available online with a built-in electric seat lift. This electric 'rising seat' adjusts the wheelchair's height and can even let a wheelchair-bound person reach a high shelf. One such wheelchair is the recently developed I-BOT wheelchair, which easily converts from a standard wheelchair with four wheels to an elevated chair balanced on only two wheels. The I-BOT's adjusting height can bring a wheelchair user to a standing person's eye level.
