Addseat is an easily operated gyroscopic vehicle for wheelchair users. Max speed is 20 km/h. The seat can slide, which allows the user to easily move the center of gravity forward or backward as needed to brake. The handlebar can be folded and the seat is equipped with a parking function to facilitate transfers to and from the vehicle. The seat has a folding backrest and the entire seat is removable, which makes the vehicle easier to fit into a car.

The specially modified vehicle has made a big difference to the user. Her life is now much more mobile and she can get around on her own in situations that were previously impossible, like moving on a beach, in snow or pulling her children in a bicycle trailer.
To get a modified Segway Marit contacted Hedemora Anpassning. Together, they managed to build a Segway seat that works.
Marit founded the company AddMovement to help others enjoy a more mobile life. AddMovement offers a series of standard solutions and specially built seats for the Segway and other gyro vehicles.
The original version was designed for the Segway, but it can be individually adapted for many different needs and desires.
