It also led to the birth of an international brand. One gloomy afternoon during the rainy season in Taipei, Kenny noticed a woman struggling to fit her father\u2019s wheelchair into the trunk of her car. He stopped to offer his help.<\/p>\n<p>The wheelchair was heavy&#8211; difficult even for a strong man like him to lift. Even more frustratingly, after all the effort of trying to squeeze in the wheelchair, the chair proved too unwieldy to allow the trunk to close. Kenny couldn&#8217;t forget the despair of this woman, soaked in the rain and being splashed by noisy passing traffic, or the weight and the clumsiness of her father&#8217;s wheelchair.<\/p>\n<div class=\"space30\"><\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"size14\">&#8220;Did it really have to be this way?

Given the diverse and harsh road conditions that Mr. Chui would face, we worked for ten straight days on dusty country roads to conduct road test after road test. We put the chair under extremely demanding and brutal conditions&#8211; two hundred kilometers with a\u00a0full load&#8211; so that we could ensure that Mr. Chui would be able to weather his journey safely.<\/p>\n<div class=\"space30\"><\/div>\n<p>Five months later, Mr. Chui sprinted into New York City.
