- Funding led by consumer-focused Tiantu Capital to support core technology and AI integration
- Startup targets shift from rehab aids to intelligent mobility assistants
SuperPi Robotics (双派机器人), a smart mobility device producer, has raised tens of millions of yuan in a Series A round led by consumer-focused Tiantu Capital, as the startup accelerates development of AI-powered mobility devices aimed at aging populations, the company said April 8.
With participation from Hangzhou Guoshun Capital and Westlake Science and Technology Direct Investment Fund, two state-backed venture funds, the latest financing will be used to strengthen core component research and integrate large-model AI capabilities into next-generation products.
SuperPi roped in famed investors such as K2VC during the previous angel round.
Founded in 2022 in Hangzhou’s Yuhang district, SuperPi develops and manufactures smart eldercare mobility equipment, including intelligent wheelchairs, scooters and walking aids designed to be lightweight, safe and easy to operate.
Founder Yang Yuzhi said the company aims to evolve its offerings “from rehabilitation tools into intelligent mobility assistants,” helping older users maintain independence and improve quality of life.
The company has launched several products, including the long-range P2 smart wheelchair, the bend-free folding M2 mobility scooter and the four-in-one W1 smart walker.
Its devices are deployed across senior living communities such as Taikang facilities, elder-focused retail complexes and specialized wheelchair stores, serving both consumer and enterprise markets. SuperPi said its products have shipped to nearly 30 overseas markets.
“We believe that SuperPi’s clear vision, depths of technological capabilities and pursuit of quality will position it to reshape elderly mobility experiences, and become a global leader in smart mobility,” Zou Yunli, managing partner at Tiantu Capital, said.
China’s wheelchair market — including manual and electric models — reached 30.2 billion yuan ($4.42 billion) in 2025, growing at a compound annual rate of 14.4% from 2020 to 2025, according to market intelligence provider Huaon.com.
Electric wheelchairs accounted for about 68% of the market, reflecting a broader shift toward electrified and intelligent mobility solutions within the country’s expanding “silver economy.”
