Der Ziesel Electric Tank Wheelchair

Just because you’re in a wheelchair doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be able to enjoy all the excitement the winter season brings with it. Dubbed Der Ziesel, this badass electric tank wheelchair hybrid is the perfect way to shred the slopes while remaining in the seated position.

Packed with 21 horsepower and 30 lb-ft of torque, the two permanent magnet synchronous motors pump power to the tracks, helping this 460 pound machine tear through the powder at speeds of up 22 miles per hour. Thanks to the integrated battery pack, the Der Ziesel can provide anywhere from 4 to 5 hours of drive time, all of which is controlled through the joystick located on the armrest of the vehicle. This off-road wheel chair will cost you about $30,000, plus the $1,500 charger you’ll need to refuel the battery, but we can guarantee you’ll bring a huge smile to someone’s face. [via]
