A self-balancing mobile chassis with a frame 210 for supporting a load carried by the chassis, a motor assembly for providing a driving force to move the chassis via a plurality of wheels 230/235, the motor assembly connected to the frame. One or more actuators 260a connect the frame and the motor assembly via first and second ends respectively, the lengths between the ends being controllable such that when the wheels are deployed the frame is lifted to suspend from the surface on which the chassis rests, causing the chassis to be self-balanced by the wheels, and when the wheels are not deployed they are suspended from or on the surface so that the frame at least partially supports the chassis, which is held stationary. A wheelchair which comprises a seat mounted on the chassis, as well as a shell for covering the chassis is also disclosed. |
