Check this chair out below. It uses off road ATV tracks, and goes over almost anything.

I want one :P :D

That is one hell off an offroad wheelchair . Wonder how much the thing costs? We are planning on releasing a motorized, suspension version of our Offroad Wheelchair also. But I don't think it will look like that :D

My one question is how do you get in and out of it and does it have a licence to kill too. :unsure:

I think I'll stick to my Terra Trek. I might be a bit heavy but and the same time it is a good workout when being out doors with it.
LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING----WOW----WHAT A RIDE!!!

Regards

Marty

My guess would be maybe you transfer onto the tire and then onto the seat??
Or get a reallllly long sliding board!

Well if it doesn't, you should surely be entitled to a full refund B)

I think most of us would be better served with a 4-wheeler. No transfer issues and I'll bet a whole hellva lot cheaper at 8K, I'd bet that tank starts at 12K. The new hondas don't even have foot controls, except for the rear brake, which is replicated on the handlebars
