Electric Wheelchair Design "hyperchair"
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2013 7:22 pm
Hi Folks,
I'm working on an Electric Wheelchair design roughly based on the design on http://www.wheelchairdriver.com.
This design is Copyright, but may be reproduced for personal use.
My version uses the same tyres/wheels, but I'm making mine narrower and designed so that it can be broken down into parts all less than 10kg in weight.
Below are a couple of rough blender image of what it will look like: So far I've assembled one of the wheels with the spun aluminium hegar rims and neoprene seal inbetween and it seals up OK. I've also made the quick release blocks, so that I can remove the wheel/motor asssemblies from the rest of the chair when dismantling it. I'm currently working on the front forks for the 10" diameter front wheels.
I'll add images as I get parts made, and some pictures of the finished chair when I get that far - at the moment the plan is to finish it by Christmas, so that I'll be able to get out and about with a bit more grip when the snow/ice arrives.
Best Regards
Trev
