I saw this on my FB feed under one of the "suggested posts" titled, "31 Incredible Creations Hidden In Plain Sight"

I thought it was pretty cool. It is a scooter made to be used with a wheelchair.

Brilliant idea! :D

I'm not seeing a front brake lever which leads me to believe the designer included a brake controller that would better serve the occupant. :geek:

That would seem to be a darned site easier than a car to get into and out of. Pretty brilliant, actually.
Not sure where the could put the engine though...

I'm thinking maybe it's electric?

Assuming that it is electric, I could see it being used in some warehouse stores, and maybe walking paths. However, if they needed to do any shopping they could not get in close enough to shelves.

I did come across this item awhile back. I don't know if it is better or not.
