Hey all, check the link again....worked for me.

Now, can you imagine the ramp that would be needed if you wanted to attach one to your trailer hitch?!?!

Heck, can you imagine the size of van you'd need if you wanted to put that sucker inside the van!!!

I'll stick to my Polaris 500!

[Edit - Just checked the videos.......you gotta be careful on that thing.....short "track" base? If you're not careful you'll get planted right on your face].

What a great idea.. Something like that would/will open up a whole new range of possiblilties for the disabled who are confined to a chair. Great thinking...

I was thinking the same thing Mike.. The track set up needs to be worked on I think.. Lowering the center of gravity and widening the base a bit would do wonders for stability.
