Home made off road chair

Made an off road chair by attaching 2 electric bikes together.
Perhaps someone could use this design as a starting point and improve on it?

His implementation is a bit dodgy, esp the steering. But the idea is a good cheap way to get an off road buggy. Although again thats not a wheelchair. So... Same questions as always.

Why does it need be electric?
And whats wrong with the hundreds of cheap off road buggies both petrol, or deisel or electric that already exist?

Interesting idea. He obviously likes to tinker with stuff.

Looking over that guys channel, it pretty obvious the guy is big into tech gadgets, smart phones etc. And to many who are into that sort of thing, e-bikes and even electric cars are seen as tech gadgets.

So that's my guess as to why he would be inclined to build an offroad cart out of e-bikes instead on fashioning something like an old repurposed zero turn mower.

If I had a bunch of land, I'd get something like this. Custom built for the wheelchair I prefer!
