The WHILL turns any wheelchair into an electric vehicle. Just think, no more one armed or one-legged driving your wheelchair. See the Gizmag - WHILL Powered Wheelchair. 
-- Deans' Stroke Musing

Wheelchair users with full use of their arms generally don't need electric wheelchairs... but sometimes, especially if those users have long distances to cover, it sure would be nice to have one. Instead of going out and buying themselves a full electric wheelchair, however, those people may soon have the option of using a WHILL. Recently spotted by Gizmag staff at the Tokyo Motor Show, the prototype device clamps onto the wheels of an existing manual wheelchair, temporarily providing it with electric drive.
