Why don't you try make to make one then

xXx · Post by **xXx** » 11 Aug 2004, 18:10

I wanted to.....
but unfortunately, I don't have the materials & the ppl to help me..

Now, I'm figuring a way to customize my wheelchair appearance..(stickers & decals)...
Bout the speed.., maybe I'll figure it out later.. until I find the right person that can help me with it...

If i was living near you i would gladly help but i live to far away sorry m8. Maybe when i get near you when i am on vacation, then i could help you don't know much about wheelchairs but i do know how to put a nice little engine under it and let it have a topspeed of 60 to 70 KM/h. And i know how to improve the steering. Ok maybe i know enough off how to make your wheelchair a little faster. But i live in the Netherlands and you live ..... To far away. One Question where do you live xXx

Maybe but i don't have a wheelchair off my own. I helped a friend one time build his one with a better engine so it runs 70Km/h insted of 20Km/h. His original one had a electro motor on it. I have build a Peugeot fox engine under it(That's a engine from a moped)There's only one problem it has a 5liter fueltank so every 100/110Km he has to refuel. And the other problem is that he has to change the sparkplug ones every year or so.

@ DoR: I'm living in Malaysia.., so it's really really far from Netherlands..
Btw, u bulit a 70km/h wheelchair b4..??

Wow.., that's really fast for a wheelchair...
As u said, u helped your fren to change his electric motor to fueled motor rite..?? How do I do that...??
Do I need to take off every part of my wheelchair to put a fueled motor in..??
It would be great if there's any pic to show me how it's done..

Btw, mine is an electric wheelchair too.. & it's really slow..

@exonn: wheelchair race..?? I had thought bout that b4.., but there's basically too little ppl here that's sitting on a wheelchair for me to race..

but the idea is good... so if ther is an idea so there is allways the way to make it real

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 12 Aug 2004, 22:53

Yeah you have to remove the entire electrical block you have know. Except for the electrical wire's connected with the control stick because you can use the old control stick. Sorry don't have pic's i did it a few years ago. Didn't know then we gona have this discussion, if i know off this discussion i would have taken pic's from the wheelchair.
And don't ask me how the wireing goes i didn't do that i only build the mopet block under it. One importand thing is to re-adjust the wheelaccel or else you will have a one wheeldrive insted off a two wheel drive.

I guess I'm a few years late...

It sounds kinda complicated...

But where did you find the engine from..?? I mean the Peugeot engine..

Is it a brand new engine..??
Btw, I'm not so good with the wiring too...

coz I don't really understand how it works...

No my friend had a peugeot fox (that's a mopet) He used it before he ended up in his wheelchair. That thing was using space so he had the idea to build the engine under his wheelchair and throw away the rest. And you're right it isn't easy but if you have some help it isn't that hard. As long you have someone that knows stuff about engine's and one with electronic's then it is becoming easyer.

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 13 Aug 2004, 12:08

and what about the smoke from a engine? if you goan build not electric engine, so that meens you cat use that chare indore. right?

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 13 Aug 2004, 14:33

You have to build a small muffler under it (just like any other petrol engined car or mopet or motorcycle.)

xXx · Post by **xXx** » 13 Aug 2004, 17:18

Peugeot Fox(mopet) is a motorcycle engine...?? I did some googling on it..

Unfortunately, I don't know any ppl that can help me make one...
Hmm..., btw, do u still remember the steps in building it..?? & the materials & stuff needed..??

Maybe u can fly over to Malaysia to help me built it...

(just j/k)

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 14 Aug 2004, 00:09

This is a peugeot fox mopet and the engine is not that big and hard to remodel.

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 14 Aug 2004, 00:11

Nope sorry i has been two years. And we did it without knowing it would work. We'd go on our instinct and thank god it work. But when i am in the neighboorhood i will look you up and help you build it. Maybe put some NOS under it two

xXx · Post by **xXx** » 14 Aug 2004, 07:14

I see... but it's ok, m8...

Guess I'll have to depend on my electric wheelchair for now...

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 14 Aug 2004, 13:36

Sorry but when i find a petrol engine wheelchair for sale on the web or building plans i will let you know.

xXx · Post by **xXx** » 14 Aug 2004, 17:19

Thx a lot...

I'm really glad to have someone like u to help me...

I will be patience & wait...

Btw, what petrol engine would be most suitable for a wheelchair..??

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 14 Aug 2004, 18:02

I think maybe I should post my wheelchair pic here...
But I don't have camera at the moment... maybe next time I post the pics here, ok... so that u will have a better idea of how my wheelchair looks like...

@ Dani350z: Thx for the link..

Actually I was interested in the IBot 3000 but unfortunately, it costs too much.. around $ 30000... which is very expensive & I couldn't afford it...
As for the other wheelchairs.., they were just not my type of wheelchairs...
