    I love hearing about the little girl saying “This was the best day of my life!” That’s so truly amazing. God bless you for all your doing for disabled people.

    This is an incredible creation! I've gotta build something like this for my little sister. She has cerebral palsy and I've always felt bad and guilty when I'd do things that my sister can't do. We live in a rural area that still has dirt roads in a majority of the areas. She has a power chair but I think something like this would open the world up more for her.
    God this video made me cry of joy of the possibilities that my sister can join in off beaten paths that her power chair simply can't do. Thank you so much for this video. I'm so excited to show this to my little sister.

    We prefer the term “people with disabilities” rather than “disabled people” because person first language reminds others we are human first.

    This is what I need!!! I’ve been trapped in a musculoskeletal instability nightmare that nobody knows how to stabilize…I went from being an ICU nurse and enrolled in a doctorate nurse anesthesia program; and practicing Gracie Jiujitsu after my 12-14hr nonstop shifts to balance my mind and shed the daily stress of taking care of very sick patients; on top of the world skiing; mountain biking; ice skating; skydiving; rebuilding my first car into the ‘68 289 v8 mustang it used to be; hiking; swimming; P90x.. I think you get the point- I went from this to being trapped in this body that makes any activity extremely challenging and difficult to tolerate, usually causing excruciating pain from my already constant severe pain..
    Here’s the thing.. it’s very painful for me to walk without support- but if I can support/brace myself in a way that allows stability, I can do some things, sometimes..
    It’s impossible to find equipment made for young and active disabled thrill seekers.. even a rollator walker that can hold up to the way I need to use it- putting a lot of weight on my arms to take pressure off the unstable spine.
    When I do find something that may work for me or be helpful in allowing me to exercise, it’s cost prohibitive.. on total disability doesn’t give u a lot to work with.
    I want to know more about your creations and maybe hold on to this hope I suddenly feel from watching this video ! ❤

    @dawn3737 Před 3 lety

    I think 15k to 20k is out of reach for most. But if you don't drive and you look at it as a cheap car, I guess maybe? Still, whole lotta cash to drop. But the idea is amazing. Bikes are out for me due to RA. So it's an attractive idea. But wow.

  • @Glenn_Ratcliffe
    @Glenn_Ratcliffe Před 3 lety

    What an excellent idea. My only concern is that it looks like it's petrol (gasoline) powered and not electric. If so the idea needs work to bring it into th i s decade .

      Let's hope so....It would help families with disabilities do something fun together and teach us something as well. Just don't turn this into a weapon....I hate it when we get innovation and they use it for evil.
