Avant Devices was created with the goal of transforming assisted mobility through technological solutions that are more versatile, accessible, and adapted to the real lives of people with disabilities and reduced mobility.

The project emerged from the personal experience of its founder and CEO, Juan Antonio Carrasco, who has lived since birth with a rare disease and later suffered a spinal cord injury that forced him to completely rethink his mobility. After years of using different assistive solutions, he identified a common limitation in many existing devices: they were designed to adapt to the user, but not to the user's real life.

This direct experience has shaped the development of Explorer One from its origins. Aspects such as its modular architecture, the optimized weight of the system, the possibility of installation and removal by the user themselves, interchangeable batteries, and adaptation to different terrains through specific wheels respond to real needs identified over years of everyday use and not solely to technical design considerations.

Most electric mobility devices available are designed primarily for smooth surfaces and urban travel, leaving out everyday scenarios such as rural paths, beaches, uneven terrain, or areas with limited accessibility.

In addition, many current solutions continue to be closed and inflexible systems, designed for a single environment or specific need. This forces many users to choose between maintaining multiple mobility solutions—with the resulting increase in acquisition, storage, transportation, and maintenance costs—or giving up certain activities and environments due to the lack of suitable alternatives.

These devices specifically designed for such environments usually involve high additional investments and are limited to use in very specific situations.

This market fragmentation creates an economic and functional barrier for millions of people with reduced mobility around the world, generating a growing demand for more versatile, adaptable, and accessible solutions capable of addressing multiple needs with a single device.

In response to this challenge, Avant Devices develops Explorer One, an adaptable electric conversion kit that allows a manual wheelchair to be transformed into a motorized device integrated into the wheelchair itself, offering quick deployment, simplicity, and versatility. The Explorer One Kit has been designed to facilitate installation and removal even by the user themselves, while maintaining balanced weight distribution and a modular architecture focused on autonomy and ease of maintenance.

Explorer One incorporates an interchangeable rear wheel system that allows the device to be adapted to different usage environments, from urban settings to rural terrain or beaches. This is complemented by a modular and interchangeable battery system that extends range and facilitates the continued use of the device during long-distance travel.

The company is committed to a product philosophy focused on:

• Real mobility across different terrains.
• Modularity and ease of repair.
• Reducing access barriers.
• User autonomy and independence.
• Connected mobility systems.
• Operational continuity through easily replaceable components.

Beyond its initial product, Avant Devices is evolving into a comprehensive connected assisted mobility platform. Its medium- and long-term vision includes the development of new technological solutions and services centered around the user, including:

• Sensing and safety systems.
• Monitoring and control applications.
• Connectivity and remote communication.
• Route and autonomy optimization.
• Intelligent assistance.
• Predictive maintenance.
• Mobility and membership programs for users and distributors.

The company's model combines modular hardware, a specialized distribution network made up of orthotics and prosthetics providers, associations, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and specialized distributors, together with the progressive development of value-added technological services associated with assisted mobility.

Currently, Avant Devices has a functional Explorer One MVP validated in urban environments, rural settings, and beaches. The company is working on defining its production and commercial scaling strategy, initially relying on specialized external manufacturing to accelerate its market entry and ensure the highest quality standards.

In the medium term, Avant Devices plans the gradual integration of its own production capabilities for certain product lines and future technological solutions, thereby strengthening its innovation capacity, industrial control, and international growth.

Although its initial commercial focus is Spain, Portugal, and Western Europe, the company maintains an international vision aimed at high-potential markets such as North America and Canada. Likewise, Latin America represents a particularly relevant strategic opportunity due to existing accessibility limitations across many territories and the need for more versatile, accessible solutions adapted to real-world environments.

The vision of Avant Devices is to become an international benchmark in modular, connected, and accessible assisted mobility solutions, driving mobility without limits for millions of people around the world.
