I fear for humanity

What else would it be good for?
I have a neighbor who's a quadriplegic, with the help of his friends he's built/modified a lot of motorized stuff to allow handicapped people to go places & do things they couldn't otherwise do...

Lately he's done a couple side by side rigs with hand controls & special harnesses

I just sent him the link...

If he is truly a quadriplegic, Hand controls will do him no good as he can not use his hands.

I have a friend that is handicap.

He is a very successful engine builder and drives with hand controls.

I am pretty sure he would not touch that machine but who knows.

Tim has no use of his lower body and left arm/hand he does have very limited use of his right hand/forearm.... When he was younger he built stuff for himself...

He has a four wheel drive wheel chair that allows him to go out to watch his friends paraglide
(Which is how he wound up in his chair)

Also could be why he & some other folks that have limited use of their bodies are willing to operate crazy vehicles...

And he has his normal day to day wheel chair that's been hotrodded some, it'll cruise at 25+ MPH & he he'll take it cross town fairly regularly... He doesn't drive so it's his main transportation...

He doesn't design/oversee these builds for himself anymore... Most are for teens/young adults...

These days mostly he does design work and able bodied men do the hands on stuff... I've helped some but he has a group of people that help...

Another example of handicapped folks doing stuff most wouldn't..
140 MPH Super Karts... The guy in second place is Wayne Rainey... Three Time World GP Motorcycle Champion, On his way to his forth Championship when a crash in Imola Italy put him in a chair... He has to be strapped into his cart because he can't use his legs to hold his position in the cart.... His dad Sandy had a shop in the same complex where my shop is...

 
Chinese company (HangZhou YuShu TECHNOLOGY CO.).

Sure, they can build that, but what do we get from them? Shitty starters, water pumps, and ball joints.
