  6. I was told my power wheelchair will be $35,000. and thats not
    a high teck power wheelchair, it has no resperator tray or
    special driving controls, a normal joy stick is coming for
    that price, it is a tilt and space which is why it costs that
    much. A basic powerwheelchair with just the wheels
    having power is $10,500. if I was less disabled and
    could walk a little.. TDX-SP Invacare
    What price would you say the C1000 DS electric wheelchair

  10. God Bless you Stacy. I get my health care up at the West Palm VA and I am amazed when I watch what some of the vets go through to get in and out of their vehicles and wheel chairs. This looks to me to be a giant step forward. JT

  11. And one more thing NO WAY NEAR FAST ENOUGH, has to go at least 70 kph, or there's no point.

  12. Great idea, but I would need a trailer or something, where would i put my scooter/gopher that I need to get around the shops and stuff, & what about passengers how do they fit into the car.

  15. If any one these big companies (Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan+++) gave a damn about the wheelchair users they could've built a $6000 2-passenger, rear-ramp vehicle like SMART car capable of freeway speeds. With a twin-turbo direct injection 1-Litre diesel at 80mpg.

  17. Yeah Trace but imagine the price by the time you get one from an agent here. My US$3000 (in the US) chair cost AU$5250 to buy from an agent here at a time when our dollar was worth US$1.08. Serious markup (read rip-off) by many US companies selling in Australia.

  18. Might be fine for you Chuck if you have a powerchair. What of the people with manual chairs who just want a city car?

  19. Yea this would be great! If you wanted a walk in the park.
    What would happen if one of those Chevy Caprice "shoebox" cars t-boned it?

  20. Well, on a 45mph or less road, it'll be safer than riding a bicycle.

  21. You know whats funny about electric vehicles? They arent green. Where do you think most electricity comes from? Gas powered plants. -_-

  22. It has such a short wheel base, you could apply hub motors on all 4 wheels, limit the angle of your ackerman steering, and supplement the remainder of your control steering with skid steering of all four wheels. (Seeing that the owner uses a wheelchair, this is something she probably already considered). It would require sophisgated software of the ECM. Being

  23. 1) they are a start up company. they probably don't have money to make anything more powerful at the moment.
    2) Does it have power steering? probably not, according to the video they are looking to build a powered joy stick model. .

  25. Does it have power steering because I couldn't steer that. Why does it have to be so small and unpowerful.

  26. Not to be mean but, why wouldn't you just just drive your wheelchair somewhere because the one I have has more power than that little car!

  31. What a great innovation. We have been looking at retrofitting a Smart Car with the same idea. Maybe it might be a good partnership.

  33. Love watching this video. Hope to see larger Kengurus that can handle 55mph in USA and have room for groceries or an extra passenger.
