#2Time to break my spine.

#3I think e-bike technology is going to get adapted to all sorts of new uses like this. I think there's a lot of opportunity to create great vehicles for people that will offer a good accessibility.

This video shows bikers of many different abilities using many different kinds of bikes and it shows how versatile bikes can be for different people.
I'm kinda curious why it's a quad-wheel system rather than a tricycle. At 2:28 in the video I linked, there's someone paralyzed that uses a tricycle to go off-roading (two wheels in the front, one in back with a hub motor). I'm not saying there isn't a reason for the 4-wheeled system, I'm just wondering what if offers.

#4They make rugged electric wheelchairs that sit on cat tracks. Would like to hear the pros/cons of this vs that?

#5The drivetrain and steering assembly have definitely been designed to make it cheaper to build and easier to maintain which I think is a good thing. I wonder how much more expensive and complicated it becomes to have 4WD.

My guess is that accounts for about 30% of the costs.

Without having seen or used one, I would assume they're not as fast, not as smooth, more expensive, more difficult to repair, heavier, and potentially bulkier.

#8Yay for Utah (and accessibility)! I can practically see my house in some of those shots.

The existing Rig is $4750 USD and is rear-wheel-drive only. Are you saying it would cost 30% more to make it 4WD?

#10I highly recommend subscribing JerryRigEverything channel. The host's (zack) primary content is dismantling smartphones at same time reviewing it's features fairly.
I had unsubscribed to every other smartphone review channel as I'm not going to change my smartphone every other day and at the same time I want to keep myself apprised of the developments in smartphone hardware; JRE serves me perfectly for that.
