  • Where I live out in the country, we have mostly dirt, mud, grass, and gravel between our outdoor areas. My sister has limited mobility and can't get from place to place under her own power. The wheelchairs that are out on the market are great indoor means of movement but lack the ruggedness to get over the more rough of terrain. I decided that it wasn't out of my realm of abilities to try and solve that problem by creating an all-terrain wheelchair.
    Tracked wheelchairs are out there are being commercially produced, but they come with a HEFTY price tag. Often easily exceeding $10,000 in cost. You can see the dilemma here... While this homemade chair is definitely not up to the production quality of the high end "Trackchairs," this technically does the same thing, just at a slower speed. I built this quite awhile ago now and it has withstood the test of time quite well.
    I cover everything in quite a bit of detail in the video, but if you are left with any other questions, then please feel free to ask and I will be more than happy to give you an answer.
    I hope that this project can be useful to everyone watching in some way. This chassis has so many more possibilities than just serving as a disabled mobility device. It wouldn't be difficult to make the source of power a gas engine instead of an all electric system. In fact, I might just have plans to build a second one with that in mind... but I guess you'll have to subscribe to find out!!
