Very cool video - no technical details, but it's for a great cause.

Here's a YouTube video of it, for those who do not have a Twitter account.

Thanks, Chris. I had not thought to look for it on YouTube.

I only did that because of Elon Musk. About a year or so ago he made it so you can't see stuff on Twitter unless you're signed in. Sometimes I forget and send stuff to friends and get back the, "I can't see this without an account".

I was able to see your link.  ;)

super cool, I wonder how many parts where 3D printed? Mid drive is a great choice for a wheel chair. I think with time the wheel chair will become a part of his identity and allow the kid to have a lot more freedom. The next obstacle is to have the wheel chair grow with the child as he develops. The design also looks very compact so it can be easily loaded into a truck or suv.
