Josep Mora, designer from Barcelona, adapts this vehicle for people with reduced mobility. Watch out the hand break to keep the vehicle standing on its own when stopped, the folding handle bar and the folding ramp to put the vehicle in the trunck.

My uncle who was over 600lbs passed over. 6 months before he died he had bought a Overlander wheelchair for about $5000.00. Besides Ebay does anyone know how I can sell this thing ? Is their a company that buys used wheelchairs.

Thanks

Look up medical supply companies in your area. they might.

Ok is it right or wrong for the theme parks in the US to give Electric Wheel Chairs to fat people who cant make it around the parks? I realise of course some people need them thru medical problems but the vast majority are just over weight obese people who thru there own fault are so unfit they need an electric wheel chair which is supplied on entrance to the parks. Does it not encourage them to not lose weight and perhaps the walk would do them good. Plus they get to the front of queues! Or am i just being picky cos 3 of them ran over my foot!?
Very sorry to hear your troubles bubbles and i agree an Electric Wheel Chair would of suited your needs but seeing first hand the amount of "larger" people using these wheelchairs there was nothing that could convince me they were ill and needed them. I watched 100’s of them just leap out at the rides or sit there stuffing food in themselves. All im saying is perhaps the exercise would do them more benefit.

Hope you had a good hol by the way!! I think it’s unfair. The exercise would do them the world of good! Beats me why they bother going, I mean people who need an electric wheelchair just to get around cos they’re so fat must really struggle to get on the rides. Getting to the front of the queue is a joke as well, that right is for disabled people who cannot get in the queues. These fat@rsed lazy gits should park their electric wheelchair and queue like evryone else has to for the rides.
Life is made too easy for some of these really obese people, it is their fault they got in this state through overeating fast food and they should be encouraged to exercise and lose the weight!!!

Husband is going into a motorized wheelchair in near future and we have been pricing a converted minivan with a ramp to get him around. Need advice on how to locate aid for this very large purchase.

Here is a link for financial assistance, the actual link is for another disorder (RSDS), however it’s helpful to a lot of people:

I hope you find the help and support you need. Good luck.

* i have to write about 2 interesting people that i met on the way, when stopping somewhere- can you give me some ideas?
And i also would like some ideas of funny things that could happen to me and/ or the wheel chair during the journey!

I think a good idea would be for you to like meet a homeless person who is actually a genius who just doesn’t believe in living in houses.
Um….you could also meet a diner waitress. Those can be fun characters.

Some funny things…I think the wheel chair should run out of power once, get stuck once, and maybe get stolen by some rowdy kids.

Good luck with your essay. Sounds like fun! :)
