Man if I was in a chair...I'd sure want one! In fact, I want one now!!! Anyone know the price of that beast? It's got to be in the 15k range.

Tinodesis

The price is closer to 30K. The cost goes up from there depending on the adaptive equipment needed to control the vehicle.

A person with good upper body strength could manage with the basic mechanical levers. A high level quadriplegic like me would need a joystick or some type of adaptive equipment which could easily add 10K to the base price.

I have talked to the guys at Howe & Howe twice and found the ripchair to be out of my price range.

They did build the first one for a disabled Vietnam vet and the story was featured on an episode of their television show. I believe it was on the Discovery Channel a few years back.

I called them about it then and had some concerns about the rough ride. I can't bounce around in my wheelchair seat too much without worrying about skin break down. They listened and have improved the suspension and are now building version 3 of the ripchair. I read a post somewhere within the last year the cost had come down to 20K so I called again and got the price I mentioned in my post above. They're in Maine and I'm in Oregon so it would be a long trip to their factory to have the custom fitting each person needs.

They used removable ramps to load in the early version. I sent them this link of my buggy and how I load. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6MqGeU6uZQ They must have liked the idea and are using it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mk7CH6E7pA

I think the Ripchair is awesome. Just a bit too expensive for most.

I'm working on electric buggy with golf cart performance that I hope will be affordable to more people.

I'll stick with my ezgo I severed a nerve in my leg 5 years ago at work, the problem is the insurance company's don't care about you! They won't you to sit at home and have no life but I refuse to do that . So my dad bought me a cart to get around and get me out of the house! It got me out but I'm always doing something to it my dad just laughs at me ! He told me if I keep on I'm gonna have to wear a helmet to ride it

Yep, building a hand-control cart. I am honored to do it. The "lawyer stuff" sucks. He wants something with some performance. Still spooked "lawyer wise"
