nothing like this exists I'm been restricted to the pavement for most of my adult life either like my wheelchair are you then so I met a girl named cambrie a couple months ago who is paralyzed which means she doesn't have the use of her legs normally people who are paralyzed get around in a wheelchair but even with the wheelchair it limits the amount of places you can really go especially when the wheels are small and is operated with your hands I saw this problem and realized that I could take two electric bikes and splice them together with a seat in the center so she could get around easier and go more places all electrically powered cambrie has no idea this thing exists or that I built it or that she's gonna get it today this baby can go 20 miles an hour with a range of about 20 miles we'll have to put it to the test a little bit later so come along with us and see what happens I hope she likes it let's get started so Canberra is on her way here right now she thinks we're gonna make a video about this bike which I built her a couple weeks ago which has adult training wheels on the back worked out pretty well we could strap her feet to the pedals we went you know five or six miles down the trail with it but it's not as safe as I want it to be which is where the new contraption comes into play my buddy's right now are hiding behind this building over there with the bike so after cambrie and I filmed the video about the adult training wheels they'll ride out and we'll do the reveal hopefully it works okay yeah so this is the bike and this is Camry and she is in a wheelchair so normally when cambrie gets out of her car she sets the frame out and then each of the wheels are independent of each other I'm just kind of like get on each of the size of the chair how long have you been doing this 13 years then how do you get from the car into the chair very carefully now already we've taken this bike out a couple times what is something you like about having this bike man this is hard right sorry okay you can edit all of this yes I can I like the freedom it gives as I'm on the road with everyone else on their bikes and it's not like I'm strapped down and disabled like I'm just on top of a bike like everyone else I have to balance a little bit with my upper body and it's a lot faster than a recumbent bike my shoulders don't get tired so that's fun but if you could change something about it what would you fix because I know when we took it out the one time I was nervous that like if you were to tip over you kind of like stranded I just want to go faster you want to go faster I like change so she wants to go faster what would you put on an upgrade what would I put on for an upgrade there's a couple ways I was upgrade this actually I am super glad you asked there's something I haven't told you yet about the bike so come on over here so you know when I've been at my office welding stuff this is unreal what happening right now Thank You Marie uh okay this is really cool how do you like it I'm stoked this is really cool I don't even know I just like Carlin yeah okay this why you're asking so many questions yeah about your realtor and stuff okay I probably should put this Christian on it yes Figo there obviously let me put some velcro straps to keep them down a little bit later you have your miles per hour and everything just like the other bike and it's already on but then just turn this a little bit so brakes are these things up here on the top so I just operate with my thumb but you can just let go of the throttle and then got it for you wait don't you think it's unreal like nothing like this exists amazing yeah I'm just like okay that's why you didn't show me anything that you're welding you're showing the other stuff do you guys want some pumpkin sinister did two favorite the most away adult life that was so you're doing like a victory lap around this track and there's two boys over there and they were talking and one was like dude how is that accelerating and then the other guy was like yo bro it's solar powered so maybe that's a feature we can add for the next one that was it that's good it's a whole new level of freedom I love it I like that I can go down curbs and up curbs yeah cuz in your regular wheelchair like that would be oh yeah I don't always make it up one curb could you have made it up the grass Hill on you yeah and the best part of it is we went 11 miles today and my slope my shoulders aren't sort off and it can go on like grass woodchips and gravel and I think whatever else I wanted to drive it on so if you could change anything about it besides adding solar panels what would you do and I put some like shock absorbers in the seat because I like going up and down the curbs yeah so when we built the bike the front shocks are intact so she has a little bit of absorption but when the back tires hit there's really no padding from her seat to the ground adding in some more shocks would probably be a good thing or like a rear suspension that would probably add enough cushion to the seat we haven't decided a name for this yet so if you can think of a name for this off-road pod racing chariot wheelchair contraption leave it down in the comments and help us out go-kart from heaven I'll have more details listed in the video description like the dimensions of the seat obviously every single person is gonna be a little bit different and where I got the bikes from and stuff you have any questions leave down in the comments thanks stuff for watching huge thanks to cambrie for being my test driver for this thing and we'll see you around
