WHILL Founder Satoshi Sugie: Redefining Mobility with Innovative Technology

WHILL Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Satoshi Sugie recently shared the inspiring story behind the creation of the WHILL Personal Electric Mobility Vehicle in an exclusive interview.

A close friend of Mr. Sugie faced mobility challenges due to an accident, yet traditional wheelchairs failed to meet his needs. Observing that while technology was advancing rapidly, wheelchair design remained largely stagnant, he was driven to develop a product that would enhance mobility and restore confidence. Determined to make a difference, he resigned from his previous job and dedicated himself to WHILL’s development, embarking on a journey of groundbreaking innovation.

With its stylish design and superior functionality, the WHILL Personal Electric Mobility Vehicle offers users a more flexible, safe, and convenient way to move around. Unlike shared bicycles or electric scooters, WHILL is specifically designed for the elderly and individuals with mobility impairments, ensuring that everyone can enjoy barrier-free travel with ease.

Looking ahead, Mr. Sugie aims to further advance WHILL’s autonomous driving technology, making smart mobility solutions an integral part of enhancing independence and quality of life. Through these innovations, WHILL strives to create a new and seamless mobility experience for users worldwide.
