    The Rig, “Not a wheelchair” mobility device for the outdoors.

    vuMg0QwKAGI I actually remember this guy cobbling together the prototype (out of two ebikes) a couple of years ago. I can see myself rocking one of these in the future with my deteriorating knees. 12mph top speed. $4750 for single battery (10-20 mile range), $5450 for dual battery (25-35...

    Any (4-wheel) Overland types in here?

    Any (4-wheel) Overland types in here?
