従来の手押しカートは、カートだけが先行し使用者の足がついていかない場合、使用者が前に倒れて事故になる恐れがある。
車椅子は、使用者が座ってハンドリムを回す行為自体が、相当の筋力、体力を必要とする。 In a conventional hand cart, when only the cart is ahead and the user's foot is not attached, there is a risk that the user may fall forward and cause an accident.
In the wheelchair, the act of the user sitting and turning the hand rim itself requires considerable muscular strength and physical strength.

また、時代背景として、現在の高齢者の方々の中で、自動車やバイクの運転経験がない方々は、電動カート等の動力で動く機器の運転には馴染み難い。   Moreover, as a background of the times, those who are not experienced in driving automobiles or motorcycles among current elderly people are not familiar with driving equipment powered by electric power such as an electric cart.

近親者や介護士の方々の助力があれば、快適な生活も維持できると思われるが、近親者の個人的な負担、あるいは、社会的負担が増すことになる。
上記の方々の中には、まだまだ自律した生活を維持したい、他者のお世話を受けたくない、と思う方も多い。 With the help of close relatives and caregivers, it seems that a comfortable life can be maintained, but this increases the personal burden or social burden of close relatives.
Many of the above people want to maintain a more autonomous life and do not want to be taken care of by others.
