2018-11-11, B-Free Flash press release to UK
Mr. Alan Lee, inventor of B-Free power wheelchairs and founder of B-Free Technology Limited, has been engaging in product design for more than 20 years. He has created B-Free Chair, the concept version, B-Free Ranger and B-Free Flash, the market versions, with his dedication to help others. In 2011, he learned the story of a disabled youngster who caged himself in his own appartment for 8 years. What kept him away from the wonderful world outside were the 5 stairs at the lobby of his building. Alan's passion was ignited instantly and he decided to do something that can help the disabled to regain mobility, to overcome obstacles and to live in a world with no barriers. Alan is focused on improving people with disabilities and elderlies' lives by using his patented technology to design and manufacture high-quality mobility products. With his patents, Alan aims to invent and manufacture multi-functional stair climbing power wheelchairs for people with disabilities and elderlies all over the world to get around easily without waiting for assistant.
In March 2017, Birmingham was the very first to showcase Alan’s B-Free Ranger in UK. The youngest and dearest Emerson as shown in the photo had once again ignited Alan’s passion to invent a smaller and even more agile B-Free Flash for youngsters like Emerson.

To affirm his determination, Alan then promised to give Emerson the stair-climbing power wheelchair he needed in assisting his daily mobility to be more barrier free.
Accessibility has always been challenging to the policy maker and the disabled alike. In developing countries, barrier free facilities tend to be few and far behind. In more developed countries, historical sites and buildings are barriers to many. The following is yet another example happened in the well-developed UK where an ordinary boy encountered yet another difficult situation in his everyday life!
“Our visit to the new Entertainer Toy Shop in Truro City Centre was not very entertaining and we will not be returning. It only opened recently and it didn’t cross my mind to call ahead and ask if we could shop like everyone else? Surely we are “everyone else?” The store supervisor was apologetic and said that they had wanted to put in a lift that Cornwall Council had refused permission as it is a listed building. Well, we would hate for the building to feel sad, wouldn’t we? I don’t usually take photos of my son feeling sad but, on this occasion, we want everyone to know the reality of childhood when you are disabled by facilities. Because he was just a child visiting a toy shop. But the Power Ranger toys were upstairs, along with most of the toys a child of 10 would be interested in. It is a new shop. It only just opened. It didn’t cross my mind that access would be an issue. A staff member kindly brought a few toys down for him to see and I let him choose one without even asking the price. He was hurting enough. The staff member gave him a free Power Rangers bag to put his new toy in. But he didn’t really want a free bag. He wanted to shop freely. This isn’t written to shame anyone. It isn’t even a written to complain. It is just showing the reality faced by many!”
A chair-lift installed would certainly give this ordinary boy a happy shopping experience. But wouldn’t it be nice if he had a B-Free Ranger or a B-Free Flash that can effortlessly bring him up to where all Power Rangers are shown in this shop. He may then return time to time again freely with full control and without assistance. Other than this shop, he may explore many more places where he otherwise just has to reluctantly avoid. Are we really so poor not to be able to enrich others’ psychological fulfillment and quality of life?

Without a doubt, wheelchair is a great invention to help people suffering from mobility difficulties to regain certain freedom by sitting in a chair with wheels. Such freedom however, is limited to smooth surfaces only. Although accessibility is gradually improving in newly developed areas of the city, there are still many places where wheelchair users have to plan ahead to reluctantly avoid. Psychological fulfillment and quality of life of this disadvantaged group is often ignored. Finally, a compact wheelchair, B-Free Flash, is able to fulfill the needs of users for most indoor and outdoor activities. B-Free Flash can speed swiftly on the road like other
|
power wheelchairs. A step or two and even a long flight of staircase is no barrier to it. Its user may now travel independently with ease. No assistance is needed to go over the train platform gap. It may spin
|
and park in confined area without blocking others’ ways. If the lift is out of order, the user may use the long staircases without assistance. The backrest of its seat can be folded and the whole B-Free Flash can be transported at the back of a normal 7-seater. Returning home on the extreme narrow staircase and tight turns is no longer an issue!
