    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!

      First I saw these wheelchairs was when the youtuber GoodTimesWithScar did a video on one

      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
