How to attach a Electric Scooter to a Wheelchair and have Off Road Mobility

[@myname-mz3lo]

im doing this for my mom and its gonna make her life so much better . thank you so much you have no idea how many lives you changed with this simple cheap build . electric chairs are soooo expensive and they are so slow . this is the best

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome 👌 im glad that it has helped and hope the mod goes great and thanks for your positive feedback 👍

[@joeyd208]

You the man Cap. He was driving that thing like he stole it. You made him feel like a kid again .. stay safe my friend

[@OutOnTheReef]

lol Joey i think it was stolen because he was going fast lol

[@neemafastcat]

BIG TIP: Be sure to get a scooter that has ZERO START option. In most Kick Scooters like this one, you have to "push off" before it will go. This is not always an option for a crip like me. With Zero Start, you can just give it throttle and take off by the motor.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@neemafastcat thanks for the idea 👍😉

[@mweiland88]

Y’all are flipping amazing! I have someone who recently become wheelchair bound, and I’m determined to do something like this for him once he’s ready. I can only imagine the possibilities this may afford. Thanks for sharing!

[@OutOnTheReef]

You can do it! for your friend and im sure that will take his mobility to another level

[@stantheman3015]

Having been active in a manual wheelchair, sports, trails, hand cycle, etc. for 35 years I like to see the type of innovation using everyday available scooters; the trouble with ones made specifically by wheelchair manufacturers, even adapted ones they are usually 50 percent to 90 percent more expensive; because they are classified by FDA as medical devices. Its just reality. One thing I noticed on this video is the height deck of scooter and the user bending his back to lean forward for weight distribution because his footplate is elevated about 4" it looks like. For many this will be very uncomfortable with a back injury, however, the lower the scooter deck the better. As technology allows for unique wider market devices like electric scooters, Segway style designs, etc. -- even a modified electric skateboard with a swivel front wheel and steering arm attached might work---being creative is wide open. This video and workmanship is a stable safe easy cheap method once you have the scooter. IMO if I could reduce the overall length of this to 12-15 inches housing a electric motor, and steering device to fit right under the footplate and have the steering pole come up between your legs, it may not even be visible.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Very great points Stan Thank you👍👍

[@tiffanyh1274]

I’d buy that.

[@jamesfrost5261]

Making one of these myself. I have actually had it working but ran into the problem that he was talking about but with a rear wheel drive model like his. I wasn't getting enough weight on the drive wheel so it would just spin. I made it with a 12 volt scooter I got cheap just to have a proof of concept. Was planning on a different model later on. I have a power chair I use 99% of the time but want to get back into a car from my full size van so need to start using my manual chair but due to shoulder injuries to both its really hard on me.

[@stantheman3015]

@@jamesfrost5261 hey bro I get it...with respect I worked in DME business for ten years fitting SCI/adults and kids all levels to chairs and also sports chairs. Shoulder injuries are real. I understand. It's freedom and choice no doubt. Well if your like me researching all the new related devices as you mentioned skateboard you picked up. That is worth trying. I have a hand cycle that s older model and this year sometime, pending $, might buy used electric bike, pull wheel and electronics off and put either one or two rear wheels powered by electric motors. Been researching that.....then just take gears off and put some handlebars on like a bicycle. Having original skinny tires/rims also at same time would like to change them to something more durable....all good stuff good luck going forward.

[@TheDomin8rr]

Genius! A couple skateboard truck clouds threaded over those hold down bolts between star-board landing pad & bottom of wheelchair foot pad might could fill that slight void & cushion shock loads when transitioning across uneven surfaces.

[@OutOnTheReef]

very good idea Kevin that makes good improvement, thanks 👍

[@SPLavey7751]

2nd the idea of skateboard trucks. Longboard trucks are very wide. You could bolt the base of the truck to the scooter, connect the truck to the wheelchair. It would allow the wheelchair to flex. You could adjust the tension of the truck and use firm or soft truck bushings depending on how much flex you want.

I made same concept year ago. Few things to remember: Your arms are getting tired - lower the hand bar, like you are driving with bicycle. Front wheel drive will "drag" left and right your rear wheel in tight corners - not a big issue. Wear helmet Your back is getting tired little bit after some time.

[@edvelz8073]

Thanks for the tip! For the back I use a thicker cushion helps sit more straight
