Kalogon’s founding team , made up of former SpaceX engineers, came together with local wheelchair users to develop their first product, Orbiter and continues to innovate. It took three years to develop Orbiter, and during this time the Kalogon team partnered with local wheelchair users, spinal cord injury clinics, and nursing homes to understand the needs around seating.

While the challenges are difficult, life in a power wheelchair is difficult. It is, typically, a life full of collisions. But at LUCI, we know every collision avoided could be one less injury, one less repair, one less stressful interaction with the world. That’s why, not only did our team create award-winning technology, we also had the challenge of creating state-of-the-art safety testing.
