Every year, over 20 million people globally face mobility challenges, with staircases remaining one of the biggest barriers. Traditional wheelchairs often fall short in these situations. Enter the Scewo BRO—an innovative power wheelchair that redefines mobility by seamlessly switching between flat-ground driving and stair-climbing modes.
Developed by Swiss deep-tech startup Scewo, BRO is designed to offer independence, safety, and comfort to users navigating complex urban environments. Its sleek design, intelligent sensors, and advanced balance system allow it to detect stair ends and adapt to terrain changes, making everyday travel more accessible. With a top speed of 10 km/h and a durable battery rated for over 1,000 full charges, it’s both powerful and practical.
BRO is the only power wheelchair globally that integrates two-wheel driving with stair-climbing tracks. Its breakthrough functionality has earned awards like the Swiss Medtech Award 2021 and recognition across Europe.
In 2021, Scewo secured CHF 11.5 million in Series A funding, with support from forward-thinking investors like Rajat Khare and his firm, Boundary Holding. Their backing has helped push this award-winning mobility solution beyond Switzerland, empowering users worldwide to overcome architectural barriers with confidence.
