Description
Summary:People with disabilities are individuals with physical, intellectual, or mental limitations due to certain factors that affect bodily functions. In this case, people with disabilities, especially individuals with lower limb paralysis, may face difficulties in achieving independence like able-bodied individuals, particularly in terms of mobility. For individuals with lower limb paralysis, outdoor mobility and traffic play a crucial role in their daily activities. Therefore, a special vehicle is needed as a means of mobility for individuals with lower limb paralysis, tailored to their specific needs, powered by electric energy and utilizing a three-wheel system. The choice of electric propulsion is based on considerations of work efficiency and ease of operation. In this design, the researcher employs qualitative research methods through observation and ethnographic studies. Through this research, it is hoped to assist individuals with lower limb paralysis in enhancing their independence in carrying out mobility activities and driving.
