I like the 30 deg tilt technology and the track system.

Could be rough on carpets though.

I took out my carpets and put in hardwood while I was still able, because I knew rolling a wheelchair on the wood would be easier. This thing looks great! Save my old shoulders a lot of work.

I live in Gulf Shores, Alabama. I think it would be nice for a handicap person to have a wheel chair that they could take down and enjoy the beach. Try pushing a regular wheel chair around in the sand. They get bogged down. We tried it once when my Father was alive, and it didn’t work.

This looks like some kind of Caterpillar skid steer loader...

I like the notion of an all terrain vehicle.

Millions have been sold!

Jim’s going to need more juice than that to run the mini-gun.

When I was preparing the lot to build my house twenty plus years ago, I rented a Bobcat tracked vehicle for a lot of work. This thing looks like a scaled down version I could really get into!

I think it is a great idea.

A bit pricey, and the tracks could be problematic on carpet, but the mobility!

If everybody here gave just a dollar, we could buy Jim a motorhome, much less a tracked wheelchair!

My 1984 Mercedes 300D didn’t have cupholders when I bought it in 2004. $4 later and a trip to K-Mart and voila! a 2 cup holder that fits between the front seats.
