Introducing a new partnership: Motion x LUCI

Motion is happy to partner with LUCI to expand access to a smart technology platform for power wheelchairs in Canada.

Motion is proud to be partnering with LUCI to provide the first-of-its-kind technology platform reimagining power mobility.  We will work closely with LUCI to give wheelchair users the unparalleled stability, security and connectivity that LUCI offers across our locations in Alberta, BC, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan. 

“We are excited to bring LUCI’s innovative technology to our clients to ensure safer navigation and greater mobility for Canadians,” said Jeff Preston, Motion’s Vice President of Brand and Product.  “We are proud to partner with the LUCI team as this unique solution is a perfect fit with our mission to make life accessible for everyone.”

LUCI is a hardware/software platform that fits onto most popular brands of existing power wheelchairs and creates a safer experience for riders through a patented, state-of-the-art safety system.  Using a process called sensor fusion, LUCI combines data from cameras, ultrasonics and radar to help the wheelchair “see” its environment and provide never-before-seen safety features like collision avoidance, drop-off and step protection and anti-tipping alerts.  The technology works with riders’ steering inputs and reaction times to create a personalized, secure driving experience.

“It is exciting to have such enthusiastic support from this great team at Motion to help drive LUCI’s entry into Canada,” said Tom Borcherding, Senior Vice President of Business Development.  “Together we are going to help a lot of people reach their full potential for safe, independent mobility.”
