An entrepreneurial YouTuber has designed an off-road “wheelchair” with his partner that he’s calling Not-a-Wheelchair. It’s fully electric and can reach 12mph with a range of about 10-20 miles and starts at $4,750.
Cambry and I decided to put our heads together, and build our own off road wheelchair. Something that’s quick and light with a super long range.
It looks capable enough to handle a hiking trail, but it’s not something I would trust beyond that. And if anybody is wondering why they’re branding it as “Not-a-Wheelchair” it’s because wheelchairs have to be regulated by the FDA and I’m assuming that’s something they want to avoid. The thing looks super fun and they probably don’t want to be sued when I eventually try to take it up Everest and die.
Keep going for a video of the thing in action.
