WOW! Very interesting indeed. Talk about some arm and shoulder fatigue.

Install four drills and a Reckless fairing and you may get her up to 25 mph.

Well, if its "electric" that means two things.

1. Al Gore will try it
2. Federal Govt will spend billions subsidizing it. :(" title="" border="0"/>

Final decision

I have an idea. I'll get one of those ultra jammerbammer high reving 6 speed No-More Flossing electric toothbrushes and use a belt drive to run my aunt's titanium wheelchair as a prototype. All I need to add is a single wheel front tiller. Let's all chip in $35.00 each and we'll make a fortune when I take it public! Hey, if the Government will subsidize it, we'll make several fortunes!

If you get one we may have to call you painful instead of painless.

He just means he doesn't hurt other people with his name. Doesn't mean he can't hurt himself. Frank are you sure you are up to riding in that position?

No question I am over the weight limit ! I don't think that I could have ridden in that position 40 years ago, much less now. Now, it would be fun to see a very attractive female riding it, sans clothes. I'd pay good money to see that !!
