i dont know about any atv that r desighned for paras. But u got hunting fourwheeler with electronic shifters so u use your hand to shift and u got polaris and some comany like yamaha,suzki, kawasaki, and honda who have fully automatic atv those would be your best route and probly cheapest since u wouldnt have to do to much stuff to adapt it for you.

There are a lot of different links on this page take a look http://www.badf.org/...ptiveEquip.html
I like a rural pursuit vehicle if I had a choice but I'm a quad. You being a para you could probably use a regular ATV modified for use or something like a Kawasaki mule or yo another utility ATV of some sort. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Mickey
