Kangsters has been named a CES 2024 Innovation Award Honoree for their wheelchair fitness treadmill. This system consists of a treadmill with dual wheel sensors as well as Bluetooth connected software for Android and Apple. The app tracks distance, pace, calories, speed and more, and has a variety of exercise programs such as endurance, sprint, and interval training.
