How can I attach the wheelchair to one of these and not get asked if it (the wheelchair) is my breakdown vehicle.:D:D
Apparently moves are being made to get them into AU but licence and rider restrictions are the problem.

They are cool.
When living in Tamworth a fellow living at Attunga had a small thing putting at about 30k's phr hard yak to travel 28k's to town.
So some well meaning engineers got together and made him up one with a reasonable powered motor and better roll on ramp fibreglass surrounds etc.
Some smartA decided to dob him into RTA & Police for not having a licence rego etc.
So again they set too sorted out laws which didn't cover his vehicle at all including parking got him licenced. Now he has to pay licence fee, rego etc etc etc. Dastdly astruds.

In NSW laws RTA etc discourage the likes of disabled from holding and getting licences of recent years.

But in the UK they have these http://www.martinconquest.com/background/ MY sort of power machine this would be real cool wind in the hair type stuff, Been 25 years since I rode my last motorbike been onthe back of my sons CBRR900 though.
