CUSTOM DIY-WHEELCHAIR,HOW TO MAKE all terrain,off-road,homemade trike
LOTS OF UPDATES IN DESCRIPTION!
Link to Mock-up of MKII version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bji6WHXtip4
This is my first YouTube video and did not want to try doing any editing on my Chromebook so what you see is my "one take, that will do,unscripted approach" :)
Since recording this I've had to replace the Ball Catch spring with rubber and a plastic disk to make it stronger. Other than that its pretty much the same. I can easily pass over grass and woodland. I have powered up a 4" curb with ease and safety. I have been up a concrete ramp so steep that the tyres spun.
Future improvements I may be looking at.1) having the main cross part swivel so it lays flatter in the car.2) Or have it hinge so it can go in a smaller car. But for now I just want to enjoy it this summer.
EDIT: I am also now thinking I could have gone with a bigger back wheel so I could cut the stem down and make it look less "bike like!. Better still use suspension forks. ;)
ANOTHER EDIT: Started to get stuff together for a MKII version. Going to have it fold completely flat for the car and looking at getting a chair with easily removable back to also lay flat.
YET ANOTHER EDIT: If anyone is building a similar one and has seen the really expensive ones out there I have realised what they are using for the chair,It is a GO-KART SEAT an expensive one mind but that is what "I" think it is ;)
UPDATE: this chair is now halfway through its new modifications when I realised it would be better if it broke down even further as I am currently having to drive the car with one rear seat down (Ford Focus). I started to look at other box sections that come apart easily. I found what I was looking for on my wife's exercise bike ;)
Not wanting to cut it up I started looking at others for sale locally. I then came across a recumbent one. This is what I am currently looking for now at the right price as it has a really sturdy seat just built for the job. So watch this space. Will do another build video and will stick a crash helmet on and do some action stuff with the next one. Will try and keep the welding to a minimum so more can build their own. But if your thinking of doing this look at exercise equipment as I am.
