This study develops a "climbing support vehicle for wheelchair." It be able to rig up a commercial wheelchair. It can also reduce the burden on caregivers. Ultimate goal of this study is climbing a slope of 20 degrees. Typically, electric wheelchairs is not able to climb the slope of 10 degrees only. Further This study designed the tilt mechanism of the bearing surface, and the turning system on using a gasoline engine for power. This report describes the details and the design contents of the vehicle to suggest.
