Your electric wheelchair for maximum mobility and freedom.

Scewo BRO
The Scewo BRO was developed for people who lead an active and independent lifestyle. Its focus is on a dynamic driving experience, high agility, and maximum freedom – whether in the city, on uneven terrain, or when climbing stairs. With its balancing technology, distinctive design, and smartphone controls, BRO is designed for anyone looking for an electric wheelchair that feels as little like a conventional electric wheelchair as possible.

Scewo GO
The Scewo GO was developed for people who place particular value on comfort, individual adjustability, and ease of use. Thanks to its modular design, extensive seating and positioning options, and optional stair-climbing module that can also be retrofitted, GO can be adapted to a wide range of needs. It is especially well suited as a first electric wheelchair and reliably supports users in everyday life – both today and as their needs change over time.

As with most electric wheelchairs, the level of cost coverage for Scewo BRO and Scewo GO depends on your personal situation, your medical needs, and the responsible funding provider.

Scewo BRO and Scewo GO each have their own German medical aid number. In Switzerland, Scewo GO is listed with Disability Insurance (IV). Depending on your individual needs and the decision of the responsible funding provider, the cost of the wheelchair may be covered in full or in part.

The financing process for an electric wheelchair such as Scewo BRO or Scewo GO generally works as follows:

1. After a test drive at your home, your doctor issues a prescription for the appropriate Scewo model.
2. The medical prescription is submitted to your health insurance provider or insurer together with the trial report.
3. In Germany, a specialist from the Medical Service, or MD for short, usually assesses whether the requested wheelchair is suitable for your needs. In Switzerland, this assessment is generally carried out by a specialist from SAHB.
4. Your health insurance provider or insurer then decides whether and to what extent it will cover the cost of your new electric wheelchair.

If coverage is denied, you can appeal the decision, contact a foundation, or finance the wheelchair privately.

We support and guide you throughout the entire financing process.

People who are severely limited in their strength and/or mobility due to illness, an accident, or other reasons may be eligible for an electric wheelchair from Scewo. Depending on the severity of the mobility impairment, wheelchair users may be classified under care grades 3, 4, or 5 (Germany) or disability grades 1 to 4 (Switzerland).

Our Scewo BRO and Scewo GO electric wheelchairs are ideal for people who:

• have the cognitive and physical ability to control the electric wheelchair with one hand using a joystick. Alternative controls are available upon request depending on individual requirements.
• are within the user weight range of 40–120 kg for BRO and 23–136 kg for GO. (In exceptional cases, the lower weight limit can be accommodated using weight plates.)
• are approximately 100–195 cm tall.
• can drive with or without trunk stability. Scewo BRO is self-balancing and can therefore also be driven without trunk stability – unlike, for example, a Segway.
