Gil Davis 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 I want one! B) Tank Chair OK, Ally How about if I get one of these, you get the pros from Grind House. Then you can sit in my lap and we can clear a real path! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky 3 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Gil, I must admit when I first looked at the Tank my first thought was that I could have some serious fun with it. Must admit hadn't thought of Ally sitting on my lap :D I did look for something like it over here and came up with this Swedish made, auto gears, developed for disabled drivers and called 'Woodstar' and capable of 60mph.

Gil Davis 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Sparky they make a beast called the Martin Conquest in your country. It's a paltry 21,000 quid, plain. Take a look at it at: http://www.martinconquest.com/gallery/ I shouldn't have said that, Ally is a real lady. Just because she goes bashing about the countryside on 4-wheelers doesn't change that. Anyway the Conquest is a RO/RO machine that accepts wheelchariots (my favorite term these days). We could get a pair and terrorize the motorways! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim T. 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Now that is neat. If I ever get stuck in a wheel chair-iot, this would be the thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gil Davis 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 BTW, the Tank Chair folks have updated their auto-response to say that the price (when available) will be $18,000. I think I'll stick with the Conquest, if I can get it here. It was a good thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gil Davis 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 OK, guys/gals This is the little monster in my garage. At least an older model. It is not wheel-chair friendly, but it does have hand controls and will float. I got this before the accident and have not used it recently. It does climb over logs and rocks and rides nicely due to the low pressure tires. It doesn't like hard surfaces, but mud/sand/etc are it's real meat. With or without my leg I can get in and out pretty easily. :) :) (I still like the Conquest) :P :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Gil, now I am jealous, always wanted something like that to bring out the child in me. A friend of mine has seen the Conquest and really rated it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazel 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 WOW that looks fun Gil :o hey chaps, when i was wheelchair only I was approached by the NABD to test drive the conquest, but on the day it was cancelled coz they'd got the steering all wrong, it briefly went back to the drawing board and i was walking by the time it was ready again :( Never mind, prfer my trike anyhow :P :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gil Davis 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Hazel Now that I've seen your ride, I agree. That is one sweet machine. Got room for a passenger? ;) ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 I love your trike Hazel, judging by the dampness of the roads I'm guessing you live north of the county. Do you ever go posing in Matlock Bath? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Byteme12 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2009 Another late reply. I test drove the Ibot about a year+ ago. It's really nice except for a couple things. It's heavy 350+lbs., and the cost then was $24,000. I have read that they have made some improvements since, but I'm not needing one.....yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
