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

First I saw these wheelchairs was when the youtuber GoodTimesWithScar did a video on one
I was so happy for Scar when he got that wheelchair.
True, watching him be so happy just going outside was peak wholesome

$5k is pretty wild for something that looks like it was DIY’d in someone’s garage with square tubing…
You know regular wheelchairs cost like $20k right?
You realize this is Not a Wheelchair, right?
Wheelchairs are medical devices and sell with the appropriate taxes applied. Hence why it’s called Not a Wheelchair.
You realize that’s a medical insurance grift right? Just like it doesn’t cost $20 for one advil unless you are in the ER
You realize that’s exactly the point I was making, right?
This is Not a Wheelchair, and thus not susceptible to such grifts.
It doesn’t look like that at all. It looks pretty good, actually. Try building one yourself and show us how good yours looks.
LOL yes, let me spend dozens of hours of my time building a wheelchair I don’t need with tools I don’t have to placate idiots on the internet.
So you agree that you can’t do it.
Then why are you talking shit?
No I did not agree. You just pulled that out of your ass. I could absolutely do it. I’ve built much more complicated things for much less.
How much would it cost to buy two mountain bikes, at least one of which is an ebike?
