This Off-Road Electric Wheelchair Can Go Places Conventional Wheelchairs Can’t

Our farm is extremely wheelchair-unfriendly. The property features a gravel driveway, plenty of mud, uneven surfaces, sloping terrain; it would be impossible to navigate in a conventional wheelchair.

As there’s no rollover protection, I’d be nervous about using this on some of the more challenging parts of the local terrain; but I think with some common sense and careful route selection, I could use this to get most places I needed to go around here.
