In the ever-evolving landscape of electric vehicles, the Kenguru stands out in innovation. Especially for those of us who experience the world from the unique vantage point of a wheelchair.  Kenguru’s groundbreaking design invites a broader dialogue about the ecosystems that will host such innovations. As an advocate for accessibility and a wheelchair user, I’m drawn to consider the impact of integrating vehicles like the Kenguru into our daily routines and urban landscapes.

What is it

This vehicle, with its motorcycle-style handlebars and the notable absence of conventional seats, charts a new course in automotive design, tailored specifically for wheelchair users. 

Its core proposition is both simple and groundbreaking: the ability to roll directly into the driver’s area via a rear hatch, starting a new era of independence. Born in Austin, the Kenguru promises a modest range of 60 miles on an eight-hour charge, with a starting price of $25,000—a figure that might be reduced further through various green energy and mobility incentives.
