4750USD doesn't sound extremely affordable for battery only up to 10 miles at best, so less than 5 miles one direction under ideal conditions. I dunno, I would expect at least better range from 4 wheels, simple body, suspension and electric enegine worth 4.8K. this seem like something worth max. half of the price they sell it for
I fail to see benefit compared to ATV - I just checked some shops and you can buy brand new gasoline ATV for like 3000USD, electric ATV around 5000USD. ATV will be faster, cheaper and have better range than this
- a-wu 6y agoAn ATV doesn’t provide the trunk support that most wheelchair users need.
- manquer 6y agoWill modifying an ATV to give trunk support not be cheaper ? it won’t be as portable though
- a-wu 6y agoI suppose so. I think that an ATV’s saddle style seating is less stable in general though. I’ve never ridden an ATV but it seems to me like a lot of the time rider stability is derived from the feet being planted and the quads and glutes being able to hold onto the saddle, which for paralyzed users is unlikely. In this vehicle it has an actual seat so the butt stays planted and provides the side-to-side stability.
- shoes_for_thee 6y agoATV weighs 400 lbs and doesn't use off-the-shelf bicycle components. This is basically a recumbent four-wheel electric light-duty fatbike. It's a niche and I think it's cool. One could just as easily compare an electric bike to a honda ruckus.
- zip1234 6y agoATVs are loud and often require use of legs to ride properly.
- Markoff 6y agofor price of this vehicle you can buy already electric ATV, so much for noise
