this chair looks amazing and at a very reasonable £2300 ish it is the dogs bollox (http://www.trekinetic.com/img2/gallery%20images%20and%20thumbs/Img0111.jpg) (http://www.trekinetic.com/img2/gallery%20images%20and%20thumbs/Img0170.jpg) (http://www.trekinetic.com/img2/gallery%20images%20and%20thumbs/Img0225.jpg) Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: Manky Monkey on June 13, 2006, 04:06:18 PM It reminds me of H.G.Wells' time machine!
I trust you'll give us a full road test report when you buy one Yodie! Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: BikerGran on June 13, 2006, 09:14:26 PM Why does it cost sop much? It doesn't appear to be motorised?
Bloke at work has one that climbs stairs and balanes on 2 wheels and it only cost £1700! Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: Manky Monkey on June 13, 2006, 09:46:52 PM But does it have a built-in brolly?!

I think you will find that the stair climbing gyroscopic two wheeler actually costs 20K (http://www.independencenow.com/_media/graphics/aboutibot_features_pic.gif) Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: yoda on June 14, 2006, 12:51:23 PM But does it have a built-in brolly?! Yes the brolly is a standard item - brilliant Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: yoda on June 14, 2006, 12:54:09 PM Why does it cost sop much? It doesn't appear to be motorised? My current chair cost £3,400 ultraleightweight titanium, offroad rims and Carbon fibre spoked alloy rims the lightest chair available on the market so you see in wheelchair terms a chair with the abilities that the one they are selling is actually very competetive, and if i had the money i would order it now Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: Manky Monkey on June 14, 2006, 12:55:08 PM Could you have it signwritten? Either your Bikerlifestyle logo or hire yourself out as advertising space! That stair climbing gizmo looks like some sort of lunar landing craft -& probably cost the same.
I haven't seen any of the new Doctor Who progs -how do the Daleks climb stairs these days? Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: Manky Monkey on June 14, 2006, 12:57:07 PM Sponsorship. That's what you need Yodles. Get Wizzy to write you off as a business expense. Or take up drag racing & get loads of sponsor's logos stuck all over you.

I have bashed off an Email to Custom Chrome (edited by wizzkit of course for maximum effect)Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: wizzkitt on June 14, 2006, 01:56:38 PM Get Wizzy to write you off as a business expense. If only I got business expenses. :-[ My hourly rate works out as less than yours, and I don't get paid for working weekends. Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: BikerGran on June 14, 2006, 02:36:17 PM I think you will find that the stair climbing gyroscopic two wheeler actually costs 20K I was only quoting what Nick said, I think work paid for it so thast was prolly ex-VAT.Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: lunatic on June 16, 2006, 10:09:58 AM Do custard chrome do shiny things for wheelchairs? I thought they only did bits for Milwaukee wheelchairs! :P
Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: Manky Monkey on June 16, 2006, 11:17:08 AM Big shiny billet bits I bet.
Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: lunatic on June 16, 2006, 12:17:17 PM it would look quite sweet with a big pair of billet wheels!
Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: yoda on June 16, 2006, 03:49:02 PM as long as i dont end up getting sponsored by tampax, durex or femindom or similar companies, then i dont care who sponsors it LOL
Title: Re: Cool Wheelchair Post by: Manky Monkey on June 16, 2006, 04:04:11 PM I'll give you a fiver to have our logo on your brolly! ;D
