Man Designs an Off-Road "Wheelchair" Made out of 2 Mountain Bikes

Zack Nelson, from the youtube channel Jerryrig Everything, did a series of 4 videos showing the process, of making a Custom off road e-bike wheel chair, for his paralysed friend Cambry.

But all 4 videos combined ran for 35 minutes and were spread over 2 different youtube channels, so I approached Zack and asked him, could I do a story on this E-Bike wheel chair, and cut it down to a more bite sized video, and Zack approved.

Building this fully electric wheelchair was surprisingly simple. A few bars of metal tied into the already naturally existing supports and holes on the bike makes for great seat supports.

This Off Road wheel chair has a top speed of 20mph and a range of about 20 miles, which is about 32 Klms Per hour speed and 35 Klm range.

The bikes Zack used cost about $1400 each, so after factoring in the $50 dollars worth of metal and random odds and ends, the whole thing cost about $3000 dollars to build. Which is less than half the price and twice the performance of other off road wheelchairs on the market right now.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with the bike. We learned some of the limits. I think airing down the tires, and getting a bit more tread on the rubber would be beneficial to going off road. As soon as the bike loses momentum, it doesn’t have enough torque to start going uphill again. But on simple slopes, or flat surfaces, this off road wheel chair is a beast.

Thanks for watching
