Product Description:

For children across Vermont whose bodies require support for independent movement and mobility, help may be arriving in the form of the humble hoverboard. By combining the basic structure of a hoverboard with in-depth knowledge of both movement-related disabilities and DIY kits, UVM students are prototyping a new way for Vermonters to build custom power mobility units for children.
