Props to Camp-Inn for manufacturing gas powered wheelchair

Postby tearhead » Fri Jan 29, 2010 11:12 pm

I noticed an article in Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel this week. Headline: Camper Manufacturer Powers Chairs with Gasoline Engines for Use Outdoors. I saw the company was in Necedah and read on--sure enough, it was Camp-Inn. They made the paper for creating a kit that can be used to make a wheelchair road-worthy by adding a motorcycle engine. Here's the link:

Just picked up a p.m. that the link wasn't working but checked it myself and it was working. Not sure what's up with that!

The link is working fine Pat. :thumbsup:

Nice concept. But there are already a lot of motorized wheelchairs/scooters out there...most electric. Not as green as electric but I see where they could have an advantage out in the boonies.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

That's great!

As the Father of a Daughter born with a spinal cord related disability, I appreciate anything that makes life more accessible for the physically disabled.

Thanks for sharing the info!

Al,

Get some big tires and a kit for your daughter, and she'll be Queen of the beach! :thumbsup:
I think a LOT of people could make use of the modification.
The freedom it would give to so many...

The only thing is, she loves speed - She likes to get at the top of a ramp, at the mall or wherever and go freewheeling down at full throttle - She would fully utilize the 25mph capability - And that's scary! (LOL)

You never know what kids are capable of... :thumbsup:

I could make that for my wife. Looks doable. She has a scooter right now that works really well for her. Cool idea. :thumbsup:
Have a great day and hoping the weather is great no matter where you are!!!

Now this is something you just gotta see. A few months ago, while my brother and I visted their production facility, Cary and Craig demonstrated their new creation for us. Wow, wheelies all over the shop and spinning turns, what a hoot. If you know anyone that could use one of these fun machines, turn them on to this article. I can just imagine many active disabled guys and gals, enjoying a whole lot more of the out of doors again.
