| AM General to produce wheelchair-accessible transit vehicle | | 2008-08-15 15:37:00 | | While General Motors looks over a stack of offers for its HUMMER brand, the fate of AM General hangs in the balance. The military contractor developed and built the original Humvee until the rights to the HUMMER name were bought by GM, who then contracted AM General to continue building the H1 (until it was discontinued) and then the Chevy Tahoe-based H2. (The Chevy Colorado-based H3, meanwhile, is built entirely by GM at its Shreveport, Louisiana plant.) With the future of its General Motors contracts uncertain, AM General has announced a new deal of another kind.Starting in 2010, the Indiana-based company will begin producing a new series of wheelchair-accessible transit vehicles for the Vehicle Production Group, LLC. Although, as VPG points out, the usual development gestation period for such vehicles is two to three years, VPG and AM General intend to get the ramp-equipped para-transit vehicle to market in less than 24 months. Over 3,500 units have already been ordered, leading VPG... | | By: Car News | | |

But the intrepid traveller refused to give up. So, the two of us took off to conquer Venice.

And which hotels are a) central and b) wheelchair friendly, also with disabled bathroom facilities? What would you recommend?

| | | | Wheelchair Pushed By Semi-Truck 4 Miles | | 2007-06-07 23:10:15 | | This is absolutely nuts…
The truck collided with wheelchair as the vehicle was leaving a gas station and 22-year-old Ben Carpenter of Alamo was crossing the road. The wheelchair’s handles became lodged in the front grill of the truck. The unwitting truck driver then proceeded to travel west on Red Arrow Highway at speeds of approximately 50 mph.
The truck traveled for an estimated four miles unknowingly pushing the man in the wheelchair. The driver then pulled into the Ralph Moyle Trucking Company, which owned the truck, with wheelchair and Carpenter still attached. When troopers arrived, they discovered Carpenter in the wheelchair was unharmed and unfazed by the incident.
Do you think the guy was frightened or having the best ride of his life? Holy crap, I would pee my pants within the first 30 seconds no doubt. See the rest of the article here... | | By: Where the Boggs are Always Cold | | |

From simple manual operations, wheelchairs can now be operated automatically with just a few clicks of the button, allowing its riders to perform daily mundane tasks a lot easier and faster.However, the geniuses that made automatic wheelchairs have also come up with a new invention that is expected to trump wheelchairs in the years to come -- electric scooters. Not only are electric scooters easier to use and operate compared to wheelchairs but they are also more chic and stylish that it's not really embarrassing to go around town in it.Perhaps the biggest advantage of owning an electric scooter is that it takes you to places farther than the wheelchair can. A wheelchair is okay to use if you're just inside the house or in a small enclosed area. But if you want to go to the grocery store or the nearby park, an electric scooter is your ally. While it does not go as fast as gas powered scooters, it is fast nevertheless and can even travel for several miles before needing another recharge.In addition, with electric scooters, all you have to do is plug it in to store power. Its battery life lasts depending on its usage,... | | By: ELECTRIC SCOOTER | | |
