ELFIGO Founder Announces Development of Free PMA Simulator to Improve Public Understanding and Safe Mobility Device Use

Singapore, July 31, 2026ELFIGO Mobility has announced the development of a new Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs) Simulator designed to help Singaporeans better understand how electric wheelchair or otherwise known as motorised wheelchair operates, the challenges faced by users, and the importance of safe and responsible mobility device usage.

The initiative is being led by ELFIGO founder Warren Chew, who believes that greater public awareness and education are essential as Singapore's population ages and more individuals rely on mobility devices to maintain their independence.

The PMA Simulator aims to provide an interactive experience that allows users to better appreciate the day-to-day realities of operating a PMA. Through realistic scenarios and practical demonstrations, the simulator is intended to support public education, caregiver understanding, and informed discussions around mobility accessibility.

"Many people have opinions about PMAs without ever experiencing what it is like to rely on one," said Warren Chew, Founder of ELFIGO Mobility. "The goal of this simulator is not to promote PMAs, but to build understanding, encourage empathy, and help people appreciate the challenges and responsibilities that come with using these devices."

As discussions around PMA usage, accessibility, and regulations continue to evolve, ELFIGO believes there is a growing need for practical educational tools that bridge the gap between policy discussions and real-world user experiences.

The PMA Simulator is being developed with accessibility and ease of use in mind, allowing members of the public, caregivers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and mobility device users to gain valuable insights through an immersive learning experience.

Key objectives of the project include:

• Increasing public awareness of the mobility challenges faced by seniors and persons with mobility limitations.

• Promoting safe and responsible PMA operation.

• Supporting caregivers and family members in understanding mobility device users' daily experiences.

• Encouraging constructive conversations around accessibility and inclusive urban design.

• Providing an educational resource for organisations involved in mobility, healthcare, and community support.

The simulator project reflects ELFIGO's broader mission of enabling greater freedom, independence, and mobility for individuals who depend on mobility aids.

Development is currently underway, with further updates, demonstrations, and public testing opportunities expected to be announced in the coming months.
