Published purpose

The project proposed is to launch Bowhead's wheelchair division and starting lineup of wheelchair products by a) completing the development of the flagship Reign ultralight manual wheelchair, b) starting on the development of a second chair, and c) using Bowhead's technical expertise to initiate Bowhead's RAPID™ electric drive system for manual wheelchairs.
