Yes, You’re Looking at the Offspring of a Wheelchair and an ATV

Looks like we know what we're getting grandma for her birthday

As we should all know, being confined to a wheelchair doesn’t mean you can’t be a badass.

Example A: Wheelchair Rugby. Example B: Everyone else who guts it out in a chair every day in a largely unaccommodating world.

In order to make that world a bit easier to navigate, Howe and Howe just created the Ripchair Off Road Chair.

Accessible via ramp so users can remain in their own electric or self-powered chair, the Ripchair consists of a lightweight platform made of aerospace-grade aluminum capable of hitting up to 10 MPH thanks to a 29-HP, four-stroke engine.

The 1,250-pound Ripchair — which can also be purchased with a built-in seat that lowers for access — also features construction-grade hydraulics and powerful tracks that would make most tanks blush.

For questions about price, customization options and what they bench, drop Howe & Howe a line.
