Independence, to me, means being able to do what you want, when you want, without asking for help—completely on your own terms.

Technology can empower independence, and the relationship between man and machine is truly beautiful when everything works as it should.

Cheelcare has created an outstanding product with the Companion.

The Companion allows me to keep my manual wheelchair while instantly converting it into a powerchair capable of higher speeds and longer distances. This opens up a variety of possibilities for me, such as more exploration, longer nights out, and a lot more fun.

Living in a small apartment building, the Companion's tight turning radius is a huge advantage. It allows me to navigate tight spaces without needing to disconnect it constantly.

Perhaps its greatest strength is that I can keep my current wheelchair and instantly convert it to one with assistive power capabilities. This feature provides unparalleled flexibility, options, and most importantly, independence—something that is invaluable to me as a person with a disability.
