Now this is just dawg-gone pretty cool, and it will mean freedom for many outdoor-minded wheelchair users:

Haven't seen one on the line yet, but I was at a backyard wedding reception where a guest was using one of these. I try really hard to focus on the person, not the chair, but this was one case where the chair was just too cool to ignore. And the guy knew it - luckily, he was cool with the gawking and the questions.

For $8400 less than their least expensive model, I bought a 1988 Palmer Independence (I'm now saving up for new batteries so I can use it).  It's not ALL terrain, but the big wheels go most anywhere there's grass, gravel, or pavement.

I got to play with those all terrain wheelchairs last year at the SD auto show. Pretty darn cool if you ask me.
