Beyond Just Mobility

Koborin understands that mobility is not simply about getting from one place to another; it's about the quality of life each individual deserves. On April 1st, we join the April Dream initiative to share our vision: a world where every person—regardless of their unique challenges—can experience true freedom in their posture and movement.

A Different Perspective on Wheelchairs

Electric wheelchairs are often viewed merely as tools for transportation. However, at Koborin, we believe that this perspective is too narrow. Mobility should encompass:

• - The ability to go wherever one desires
• - Choosing a comfortable posture
• - Sitting for extended periods without discomfort
• - Moving and living according to one’s own will

These elements are not just functionalities; they form the essential foundation for a life lived authentically.

The Challenges We Aim to Address

Many individuals find that standard equipment fails to accommodate their unique physical needs. While some may accept minimal mobility as sufficient, this often leads to struggles with discomfort, pain, fatigue, and ultimately, giving up on personal aspirations. At Koborin, we are committed to not leaving these individuals behind.

Our Commitment to Innovation

Through our efforts in customizing electric wheelchairs and developing Hineru—a proprietary posture transformation feature—we are reaching out to those whose needs cannot be met by conventional products. Our commitment extends beyond just mobility; we focus on creating a tailored experience where one can choose a comfortable posture, sit for long periods, and enjoy life in their unique way.

It's crucial to note that we are not merely a wheelchair manufacturing company. We are dedicated to expanding possibilities and enhancing what can be done.

Tailored Solutions for Unique Needs

We recognize that many users may face the following challenges:

• - Difficulty in maintaining a comfortable posture for extended periods
• - Limited options to enhance their quality of life
• - Inability to realize their desires due to equipment constraints

By engaging in meaningful dialogue, we have been able to explore solutions tailored to each specific case, ensuring every individual’s needs are met effectively.

Introducing Hineru

Hineru, our original posture transformation technology, derives its name from the action of “twisting” the body. It features electric tilt and recline, along with unique capabilities for lateral bending, rotational movement, and vertical adjustment. Hineru is designed not just for mobility, but also for maximizing comfort and personalization.

More About Hineru

Our innovations include:

• - Wheelchairs that allow for autonomous work from home and enhance daily life quality
• - Indoor models equipped with pull switches for adjustable posture
• - The Mobility for All 2024 super electric wheelchair project

Our Vision for the Future

What we aspire to create is a society where individuals with disabilities or illnesses no longer feel constrained by their limitations. It is essential that they can change their posture when needed, visit places freely, and structure their lives according to their preferences. We believe that accumulating these freedoms leads to living authentically.

While we are still in the early stages of this journey, progress has already been initiated through conversations with clients and the realization of bespoke solutions.

As we move forward, we will continue to connect with stakeholders: users, families, supporters, healthcare and welfare professionals, educational institutions, businesses, and local communities, all working towards a society that values freedom in posture and movement.

This is not just an April Fool's dream story; it is a serious commitment to a future we are intensely passionate about.

We welcome inquiries and collaborations regarding individual cases that may be difficult to address with standard products, focusing on posture and mobility. Support from users, their families, and wellness professionals is encouraged as we strive for a more inclusive society.
