I am currentley building myself a ATV wheelchair that will let me go about anywhere, except deep water. I miss not being able to walk in the woods or on the dunes at Lake Michigan, But these are only two of many reasons I am building my self a chair. I found this site and thought that as I get further into my project I might need advice, or guidenance. This site seems to have lots of information and literature. Thank you all.

Hey Leroy, welcome to the forum! Sounds like a very cool project, I'd love to see the result. I know of a related project that someone has in the works, but I'm sworn to secrecy.

ATV Wheelchair plans

I am currently building the frame which after much debate I decided to use a tricycle design with a gasoline engine for power. Originally I planned on building it with 1" and 3/4 " conduit. I had made all my drawing’s and was ready to purchase the material when I found two go kart frames on Craig’s list. I purchased the two frames because there was a good drive assembly, brake pads, rims, wheels, and extra pipe for constructing the frame, all of which I would need. I have shortened the frame, and will be redoing the seat. I will put up some pictures later today. But my frame layout has changed so much now that I am designing it and building it in steps. I can also only work for so long each day on assembling it. Once I have completed it I will be glad to post plans and all pictures on this site. I have gleaned a lot of useful information from posts I have read at this site. It is a very useful site and I will be asking questions. Thank you LeRoy
