This took me one year to design and build. During this year I had to learn CAD, CAM, CNC machining, TIG welding aluminum, and enough mechanical engineering math and metal fabrication skills to get by.

It is driven by two wheelchair motors that are powered by four AGM batteries and 270 watts of solar panels. It is almost entirely aluminum and weighs about 300 to 400 pounds, and I cut or machined almost every part (including 264 clevis joints).
