The tiny car designed for wheelchairs users is over 9 million naira($25,000) - Onegoodhead

Sincerely, so many disabled are completely cut off from the world because of mobility issues and end up having human contact only when people come to them or online, so this would be Ingenious and big win for handicapped  needing a wheelchair. Unfortunately, the vehicle has limited capabilities. It wouldn’t be compatible with a Midwest or Northeastern Winter unless the wheels could be swapped out for lunar style tracks, and a weight stack supplemented for additional traction

Every wheelchair user will be extremely glad just to see the auto manufacturers offer a replaceable steering wheel that houses the break and acceleration features using today's drive by wire technology.

This is nonetheless a great idea and very cute but, it doesn't seem to have the same capacity for vehicle safety that's mandated by DOT. For front, rear or side crashes, someone in a wheel chair would have a much higher risk for fatality. The manufacturer has take it upon themselves to take it to the next level for safety.

Nevertheless, If this is compared to today's electric mobility scooters, it looks like a big improvement. It keeps you out the weather, goes fast enough to keep up with traffic and you are in a position that means you don't feel too vulnerable on the road.

$25000 for a car with no storage that looks like half a fiat 500 and looks as high risk as a smart car. Does it have front or side impact protection? disabled people often are poor and this is possibly overpriced for the cohort of people who is is meant to help. Although it is a good idea in principle and looks very sweet, I have to say that this is not in my opinion a viable option for many underprivileged people with mobility issues sadly.


As for onegoodhead.com, "It is good", It could be better, this looks degrading than helpful in comparison to what is already available. People shouldn't be loaded into the back of a car like a horse. Plus anything bigger than a skip is a threat to the existence of that vehicle and anyone in it. The practicality of it seems flawed, the idea is creative. but I don’t think anyone could justify paying $25k+ for something that has a top speed of 28 mph on public roads with 68 miles of charge and no room for groceries/passengers...

So cool, but what if a tyre needs to be replaced, would it be automatic too?

Nigeria

No light to charge
No road to drive
No government support

In other words, We are not even on our way to stuff like this.

You nailed it

Check the advert its not for Nigerians..

Well, maybe vision 2080 for us though.

Even the normal wheel chair some Nigeria cripple can't afford it..

Something wey breeze go blow enta the next lane

There are no laws to protect disabled people in Nigeria. Public places are not wheel chair accessible and no designated parking spots in lots.
Even office and stores do not have ramps.

This one be like keke, can it withstand the breeze from Dangote trailers?

9milla?

Can the owner use a jack when the need arises?

Hahahaha chimu ooooooo

When are we importing the fairly used ones..

Yinka ayefele oya order

Cool

D thing go scatter for Ikorodu to Epe road

This is a fantastic innovation and with time, the price will crash to more realistic levels.

I'm sure the Chinese and the Indians will join in the game and tweak it to their tastes.

I still feel the design should be improved as the car seems devoid of protective barriers. These anyway are early days and in time, something more refined and realistic will birth.

Nice thinking, when china start producing theirs it would cost less.

If this car enter lagos, them go still use am carry passenger

Hmmm

cool

C

Money for Benz. Life ain't fair.
