Just because you are handicapped/disabled doesn't mean you can't ride a motorcycle or a scooter! And just because you ride a handicapped -converted scooter, doesn't mean that it has to look like crap.
That's what Heny Battisini, head of the "Hyper Division  - Mobility Motorcycles" thinks. They've made a scooter,based on the popular Honda SH 125 that can accommodate a wheelchair. In fact, it looks a lot like a Roman Chariot like in the movie Ben Hur, minus the spikes.
The whole setup looks good and easy to use, just roll up your wheelchair and take off. The ramp is operated remotely, so you press a button on your zapper and the ramp goes down electrically, ride up your wheelchair and roll up the ramp, and off you go.
Hyper Division are currently waiting for their "DMV approval, and then they plan to make and sell them at an affordable price.
