Is This The Coolest Wheelchair of All Time?
Being disabled or hurt is certainly no laughing matter. But it’s also one that requires a lot of care and attention. Unfortunately in cases where a person can’t walk they’re forced to either use a walker, cane, or in worst instances, a wheelchair. However, it doesn’t have to be all bad! At least not today.
We just came across these pictures of one of the coolest pieces of machinery out there. I mean if I had to be in a wheelchair there’s no doubt this is the one I’d pick. Built on a one-piece steel chassis and powered by high-torque electric motors, this custom Tank Chair with rubber tracks can take its owner anywhere and back.

Thanks to Tankchair for the pictures
Having just broke my leg Tuesday night I need this now.
If it was (one of) the coolest wheelchair(s), he’d be wearing swimming trunks.
Still, it’s pretty cool.
I actually worked with the guy who invented this. His wife was in a bad accident, and he used some of the insurance money from the accident to build the chair. He left the company I was at shortly afterwards to start up the tank chair.
