The Secret behind EVAC+CHAIR's smooth glide over stairs

An interface of a specially modified endless belting to the two supporting rear carriages provides a smooth, continuously working brake/traction system that slows descent proportionally to the weight of the passenger. On landings, the geometry of the unit transfers all weight to the two main wheels for pivot turns and travel.
