As many know I am dissabled, and here is something I so fucking want.
 

I so fucking want this.

Either I will find the pricing and buy one, or some rich benifactor who wants my love long time and maybe even sponsorship of it can buy it for me. :1orglaugh

I think I will have to buy it.

Pricetag?...

Matt

Can not find out until morning.

i didn't know your in a chair..
after i win the lotto i will send 1 your way ;)

I think buying one will be much faster. :winkwink:

Damn, I don't know much about wheelchairs, but at 289 pounds, that seems AWFULLY heavy. How convenient would it be to put in and out of a car/van? Or would you have to have a van you can drive it into?

They had it on the Daily Show a week or two ago along with the guy that built it.

Get off your lazy ass and learn to walk.

hmm ya know you may be right.. good luck with that..impressive piece of machinary

Or at least waterski!

(sorry ASM, that's still one of the funniest stories I've heard)

You can remove the remote after you transfer into a seat and then drive it up a ramp or where ever while you are not in it. Or someone else can operate the remote.

Anyways full blown electric chairs are often as heavy as hell anyways. Typically you have a hydraulic lift to get in and out of vans and such.

hahaha dont remind me, I can still almost remember the taste of the bottom of the lake.

Didn't I see that on Colber Report(e) tonight?

I <3 you ASM, you're brilliant :)

Oh tell me that aint the sweetest chair ever.

Shit was it? It is still only 9pm here right now.

I was just doing my occassional make my life easier google searches.

I'm drunk! :) cant type but we still <3 you :) :) I was telling my mom about you today. How you know a little about everything. I love it!

thats a pretty badass chair!

Ah, did not know that. Does look very cool. I've always said if I ever need a wheelchair it better be 4WD :)

looks awesome! definitely interested to hear how much they're priced at...
*edit* BoyAlley just found it.. damn they're expensive! Subsidized in any way??

Fuck it, I will still get it. May set me back but damn it I would pay so much more to gain as much mobility that thing offers.

Hell right now even simple shit like gravel, small rocks, and damn curbs get in my way every damn day. Sure they may have assorted disability laws and crap which just means that they must place a ramp like at least somewhere along a damn sidewalk within a block. Do you have any idea what it is like to park in one place then have to wheel behind parked cars and specially SUV's going up the parking lot to reach the ramp?

that chair is awesome

so thats like a segway?

Not sure but would not be surprised if they were behind it. They have invented some crazy medical shit over the last few years.

Damm thats badass bro, Hope you get one soon

Hmm Crap on the FAQ looks like your knees must bend all the way normally. My left leg likes to extend. Ok it may cost me the 29k or so boyalley said and some additional funds to cut my lower leg off, hell I may just do them both.

I want this.

Yeh, it is pretty sweet. I've seen various similar types every now and then.

My goal is to some day make enough money to fund a R&D lab just to make me all kinds of cool shit, hehe.

at the rate that my leg disability is going I will need something like that in the next 4 to 5 years.

That's a shitload of money :( DAMN.
It does look sweet though.

ASM - I'll see if anyone at J&J still owes me a favor. I'll keep you posted!

I remember seeing this on 60 minutes or 20/20 or something a while back... They showed a video if it going up the stairs and it was pretty fucking amazing.

Make one hell of a useful webmaster bonus !!

;-)

Come on Big Fish show some Christmas Spirit :)

ASM,

That thing got a hemi? :winkwink:

Seriously, though...that'd be a sweet machine to get your hands on. And I know you will. :thumbsup

that thing looks awesome :thumbsup

Looks like you can ride a wheelie in this thing! :thumbsup

you can use mine.

Damn I know unfortunately you NEED it ASM.. but that thing looks like a blast to play in. I want to just take one for a spin for the fuck of it..

Best of luck to you man.. Is there any medicare (?) or some thing like that maybe to help cover some of the cost? I have seen the infomercials for another chair thing that says they can help you get one of theirs cheap or free.. Maybe this one has some sorta offers like that to look into...

:thumbsup
Now thats a machine!

My husband's scooter wasn't even that big and was heavy as hell. Most of the weight was the battery.
