Zack Nelson spliced together two electric bikes with a seat in the center for his girlfriend Cambry who’s paralyzed. Fast forward a year, Cambry and Zack are married and they’re starting to mass-produce the vehicle they call ‘Not-a-Wheelchair’.

‘Not-a-Wheelchair’ is fully electric and super quiet
The accessible bike can go 12mph
It has a range of 10-20 miles with one battery, and 25-35 miles with two batteries (depending on terrain, the weight of the rider, and weight of the cargo)
“Our whole goal is to provide something that is capable and affordable”
It has a rear rack mounting system to hold wheelchairs, coolers, camping gear, or a picnic basket
‘Not-a-Wheelchair’ was constructed using bike parts, so maintenance and repairs are really easy
It has an aluminum frame, detachable bumper, and four-inch off-road bike tires
With the bumper off, ‘Not-a-Wheelchair’ is 5 feet long and 32 inches wide
Which makes it fit in shortbed pickups with the tailgate up and also Jeeps and Subaru Outbacks
And can get through most doorways
