ANOTHER OUTDOORS WHEELCHAIR APPROACH: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ7cfmqujr9_ars After the video was posted I installed modified BMX wheels with 2 1/4" tires. Now I can just ride down over a curb without having to stop to let the wheels down. And the difference going up was amazing. No struggle, just pull the wheel up, and up onto the sidewalk it comes. One huge drawback is common to most wheelchairs: if you're working at it, you're ruining your shoulder and neck muscles. I plan to add a small motor that's geared 'way down, so going up a ramp or steep slope you can let the motor do the work. Sure, you can get a good mobility scooter for less than $ 2,000 these days, but there's no mobility scooter that can navigate indoors, go up and down curbs, and be loaded into most cars with the heaviest piece less than 30 pounds.
