I think purple, you're missing the point: in a wheelchair you are prone to many illnesses such as pressure sores, bladder infections, bone weakness...all becaue you're not standing up and bearing weight on your body as it was intended. Its also really nice if you want to engage with people standing up
To me it seems like it would be more efficient to use a wheelchair. My friends normal speed in his wheelchair is generally faster than most able bodied peoples walking speed. And down a hill he's even faster. So I don't see much advantage to this device as a mobility aid.
