Photoshootings are complex and demanding. Before the final shots, there’s planning, planning, more planning, location spotting, finding the weather window, conversations, testing ideas—and a lot of people helping shape the story.
Huge thanks to @david.mzee for taking the time to work with us and bring the energy to the shoot🙏🙏
And huge thanks to @eliasboetticher and @thisisupset for capturing the essence of Versive so naturally.

Ursula took on the challenge with our latest prototype and finished 4th globally in her age group out of 1100+ participants 👏
She has already done hundreds of kilometers with our chair, and her determination keeps inspiring us.
Proud to support her journey with movement that feels more natural and less demanding even over long distances.
New way forward. Lean into it. ✨

Friends from @banolife.no came from Norway to Zürich to test Versive — and the reaction in the video says it all.
Mobility shouldn’t be constant correction + braking.
It should feel like flow.
We tested for various use-cases:
One-handed steering for everyday independence
Support for hemiparesis + cerebral palsy (CP)
More confidence outdoors on tilted pavements + uneven streets
We’re excited to explore a partnership to bring Versive to Norway.

Sometimes you don’t need many words.
@deliaalyssaa tested the chair at Balgrist.
And her smile said it all.
Movement that feels different.
More natural. More free.
Follow Delia’s journey on her channel—she’s a powerful example of what it means to keep moving forward.
New way forward. Lean into it. ✨

Out here, even just going straight with a wheelchair takes work.
Constant correction. Constant push.
In Wallis, we met @jonas_bell — an athlete, a real fighter supported by the @association_projo Foundation, and on a path toward the Paralympics.
Jonas came to test with full awareness of the challenge.
Open. Curious. No illusions.
And then something shifted. A blink. A spark.
Movement that felt different.
Sure not “easier” in the beginning.
But more natural.
Closer to moving with the body, not against it.
Jonas’ feedback is already pushing us further — toward making this work even for users with very high spinal cord injuries.
This is how change happens:
in real moments, with real people.

Zürich views with Origin in action.
Origin is Versive’s wheelchair with Steering-by-Leaning technology, built for the moments that actually matter: uneven streets, real turns, real flow.
New way forward. Lean into it!
Message us if you’re interested testing - we’ll make it happen!

Different needs. Different wins.♿
It was a great welcoming @stephan.freude back to the Versive lab! He was part of our original research group years back with our originator @retogni , and seeing his excitement was everything.
While we talk a lot about ”Healthy Revolution,” Stephan reminded us of the daily practicality: true one-handed control. Every user sees the benefit of Steering-by-Leaning™️ differently:
The Athlete: Energy efficiency. Move further with less effort. Fun!
The urban mover: Smooth sidewalk navigation on uneven surfaces.
Stephan: The simple, practical one-handed steering in every-day life.
Thanks so much for all your valuable feedback 🙏
Whatever your ”why” is, we’re here to make sure your chair moves with you—not against you.

We always have time for a user test, even if they are skeptical to start with 🤔
When a user with 30 years of experience and very limited core/trunk stability reached out, he was skeptical. He called himself an ”old dog” and worried our Steering-by-Leaning system wouldn’t be stable enough for his needs. With 30 years on a wheelchair you know exactly your preferences and what really works.
The Result? After 10 minutes of testing, he said “I’m hooked”.
Even with limited trunk stability, our intuitive backrest steering provides the stability and control you need. Don’t let the ”old dog” mindset hold you back—the future of mobility is more stable than you #versive .

Celebrating the impact of mobility. 🌍
Founded by Steve Wilkinson in 2008, #InternationalWheelchairDay is about celebrating the positive impact of wheelchairs on the world.
At Versive, our contribution to this global movement is making mobility more natural. Our Steering-by-Leaning technology reduces steering energy up to 1/3, making it easier, faster, and—most importantly—more fun to navigate with a wheelchair.
From rigorous testing with a wide range of users to real-world speed, we’re proud to support the next generation of independence. #InternationalWheelchairDay #Accessibility #MedTech #WheelchairUser
Rolling through rush hour…
Busy stations usually mean tight gaps, sudden stops, and constant course-corrections — exhausting in a traditional chair.
With steering-by-leaning, navigation becomes intuitive with less braking. The crowd doesn’t stop you anymore — you move with it.
