    There’s a pretty cool guy on YouTube called JerryRigEverything. He started a non-profit company called Not A Wheelchair that makes electric wheel chairs that can be used off road.
    I’m on mobile so linking is hard, but check out notawheelchair.com to see what they make.
    Edit: Oh, it auto links. Neat.

      I remember when he was prototyping that for his then girlfriend (not sure where they are in their relationship now) and when he announced that it was going to a bigger scale and the proceeds were going to go to some really good places I was stoked. He’s come so far from where he started!

      That looks more ch more useful and gentler on nature. Also easier for someone to fetch when it inevitably breaks down. Seems like you should have a seatbelt, maybe some sort of leg guides, useful racks, a phone/go-pro mount, etc
