Can I be transported in the iBOT® Mobility System?

The iBOT® Mobility System can be transported occupied or unoccupied. When secured with a 4 point tie-down system, you can stay seated in the iBOT® Mobility System for transport.

What type of stairs does the iBOT® Mobility System climb?

Stairs should be flat and level, and strong enough to support you, your accessories, your iBOT® Mobility System, and an assistant, if needed. For independent stair climbing, there must be at least one sturdy handrail. You must always face downward when climbing up or down.

Stairs also need to be wide enough (30 inches or 762mm), with a step height (riser) of 5 inches to 8 inches, and a step depth (tread) between 10 inches and 17 inches (254mm-432mm). The maximum that the front edge of the tread (nose) can extend beyond the vertical riser is 1 inch (25mm).
