"Inventor Who Built 'Wheelchair' Out of Electric Bikes for Girlfriend Starts Mass-Production"

[Ravi Kempaiah]

They received that as a gift from one of his friends. He (gifter) has a good video showing how it all went down and started with the premise of what to buy your friend when he's getting married when he "has everything he wants/needs". They are an awesome couple doing some awesome things (he even built a lift [elevator] from their living room up to their master bedroom in the house, and it's pretty cool!!), and also have some awesome friends.

The first version that he built, using two Rad Rovers was pretty cool and I'm sure myself and others would have been happy with that, but he went on to make a custom frame version that was even better. They've even gifted one to a fortunate disabled recipient. Now they're turning it into a business as I'm sure there are many out there that could benefit from such a machine. And if I ever see one on the trails, awesome!! They're definitely part of the e-group!!

Fantastic!
What I remember is that Zack started a crowd funding campaign on his channel and he also pitched in along with Dan (the guy who started the whole thing) and thousands of others; all in all, they were able to raise enough funds to build a school. I that was super cool and very generous.

Another wonderful story that restores my faith in humanity... way to go Zack and Cambry!

I know some of you are less than impressed, but my wife can no longer bike and she's too unsteady to trike. No this product is certainly not something that fits the normal discussions on these forums, but it's something we may look at. Other friends we've met in our MS circle are interested as well.

No offence intended and none taken, but until you've been there, and hopefully you never are, you will not necessarily understand what this product could mean for mobility challenged loved ones.

My $0.02

There are purpose-built e-quads (four-wheeled personal transit, like an e-bike) that I suspect would be more affordable than buying two e-bikes and welding them together would be. I’m going to need more than two wheels, eventually, and understand completely why some folks would needs three or four.

if you want some pointers toward the more affordable e-quads and trikes I was looking at, before I decided to go cheap and get an affordable e-bike, let me know!

No - we're good thanks.
Our solution - a tadpole trike
