The Strutt ev¹ redefines personal mobility by integrating automotive self-driving technology, advanced AI sensing, and active obstacle avoidance into a modular power wheelchair. Utilizing its proprietary evSense system with over 20 integrated sensors, 360-degree vision, and a real-time 3D touchscreen interface, the ev¹ navigates complex indoor environments and challenging outdoor terrain with autonomous precision.
At Cleveland HME, we offer the Strutt ev¹ Smart Everyday Vehicle in our North Olmsted showroom for private-pay sales, hands-on autonomous demonstrations, and white-glove setup across Greater Cleveland.
Autonomous Driving & evSense AI Capabilities
- Co-Pilot Mode: Active collision avoidance system detects furniture, pets, and sudden drops, gently braking to protect the user.
- Co-Pilot+ Mode: Advanced spatial steering that actively steers around obstacles, narrow doorways, and elevator doors automatically.
- Waypoints Navigation: Self-driving mapping allows users to save home locations and navigate autonomously using voice or touchscreen commands.
- Pathfinder Navigation: Point-to-navigate system lets users tap a point on the real-time 3D screen map to autonomously drive through tight spaces.
- ev-Pilot Remote Automation: Enables the chair to self-summon to your location, auto-reposition in crowded cafes, or follow behind caregivers.
- Continuous Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates: Receives wireless software and algorithm updates directly to continuously improve autonomous driving features.
Automotive Engineering & Quad-Drive Performance
- Quad-Drive Traction System: Employs automotive Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) for outdoor traction.
- Active Front Steering: Dual front-wheel active steering negotiates cracks, roots, gaps, and uneven trails without losing momentum.
- 4-Wheel Independent Suspension: Absorbs impacts on rough outdoor paths, gravel, and cracked sidewalks for a smooth ride.
- High-Torque Performance: Climbs inclines up to 13° (23% grade) and navigates 2-inch curbs and 4.7-inch gap crossings.
- High-Speed Outdoor Capability: Reaches top driving speeds up to 8 mph with a 20-mile maximum per-charge range.
