Is there anyone who knows how to make modifications(fit in an engine to replace battery) to a power-wheelchair

I'm a disabled guy & plan to make some modifications to my power-wheelchair. Is there anyone who knows how to fit in a motorcycle engine or any kind of suitable engines into a power-wheelchair? I need to replace my battery as it keeps giving me problems which is quite unconvenient especially when I'm on the road.. & it's really really slow(slower than an average human walking speed).
Anyone with informations regarding the modifications will be a great help to me.
Thx in advance. =)


They generally make motorized wheelchairs fairly weak on power so that you don't accidentally flip them over or run people down with them.

Plus you won't be able to use it indoors if you put a gasoline motor on it.

If you are just going to use it outside - your best bet would be to get the motor (and possibly some other drive train components) from a ride-on lawnmower (or just buy a ride-on lawnmower, and take the blades, etc. off of it).

Rigging it up is either a skill you have, or don't have - I can make just about anything work - but I would have to actually see the chair you have in order to point you in the right direction.

Survey: Did you know that seatbelts and motorcycle helments are not as confining?

as wheelchairs?

Trauma nurse has to preach. Seen too many accidents this month with bad BAD outcomes.


Amen, ICU nurse ! Preach it , sister!!

What irritates me is that when the reckless ones who refuse to wear helmets survive their traumatic brain injuries they end up on Medicaid so we get t support them for the rest of their lives with our tax dollars. Yup, they have the freedom to not wear a helmet, the guvmint should stay outta their lives. Do we have the freedom to say, too bad if you can't pay for your round the clock care for the rest of your life?

Did you know that if you're in a car crash and you are found to NOT be wearing a seatbelt your car insurance doesn't have to pay you squat for your vehicle or your injuries?

a movie-superhero rides motorcyle, partner-girl in wheelchair, changes all lights to green from the dump?

If you know what im talking about please help me


...I might be shooting from the hip on this one, but based upon your description, might you perhaps be thinking of the 1997 actioner, called "Steel", which starred Shaquille O'Neal???
