This innovative foldable ascendor provides a practical solution for wheelchair users navigating London Underground stations that lack elevators. When not in use, the ascendor folds neatly to save space, ensuring it doesn’t obstruct station pathways. Designed to assist users in ascending and descending stairs safely, it enables seamless travel across otherwise inaccessible stations. Complementing the device is an intuitive mobile app, which helps wheelchair users find fully accessible routes through the underground system. The app provides step-free navigation, locates elevators or ascendors, and offers real-time transfer guidance, ensuring a smoother and more independent journey.
