Message me at 0211788033.Those who are wheelchair bound suffer more than most yet their spirit and sense of well being can be uplifting for others. Able bodied people often wonder how they would react in that position, those with restricted mobility just get on with life.The dream of many is to travel Australia, enjoying the freedom and the ability to discover everything that Australia has to offer from the comfort of their own full equipped, fully self-contained motorhome.People with restricted mobility have the same dreams and desires yet at times, the difficulties they confront by simply leaving their own environment which often has been modified to suit their circumstances, are very daunting and often seemingly insurmountable.Winnebago has recognised the need to provide a motorhome modified to suit their lifestyle and the new Esperance C2694W SL has been designed to cater for the majority of people who require the use of a wheelchair.
Based on the popular 2694SL models, the Esperance for the disabled offers an additional entrance door – a wider door allowing for wheelchair access utilising a standard fit electric wheelchair lift from the ground, rolling into the bedroom.The large island bed lifts up to allow roll through access past the mid placed bathroom to the living area, offering extended space by electrically sliding out the side wall. There is a model with an additional bed located over the cabin or without if that is preferred.The bathroom is large and private, offering a roll in facility for easy wheelchair showering in hot or cold water and access to the flushing porcelain bowl toilet.The front driver and passenger seats both swivel to face the living area and they can be accessed from a wheel chair and then swivel to a forward facing seat belted position.The Esperance Disabled motorhome is fitted out with all the standard features you expect from the Esperance range including remote controlled roof and cabin air conditioning, a ducted furnace heater, a large LCD television and DVD combination, built in satellite navigation, a colour reversing camera, a large external awning and loads of cupboard and storage space.
The powerful 3 litre turbo diesel Iveco Daily rear wheel drive chassis with a massive 5200 GVM boasts a large carrying capacity as well as modern safety and creature comforts you would expect from a luxury motorhome such as electric windows, cruise control, ABS braking, a twin airbag system, central locking, a AM FM radio/CD and much more to enhance your motorhoming enjoyment.We recognise that there are various forms of disablement. Winnebago is providing a motorhome that will cater for the needs of many but should further solutions be required, talk to the local Winnebago Dealership as to what can be done.For additional peace of mind, our motorhomes are covered by a two year factory warranty and are supported by a national service network. Every motorhome is covered by our two year emergency roadside assistance program – Winnebago RV Help.Watch a video of the Wheelchair Friendly Esperance motorhome in action.See the current Esperance Wheelchair Motorhome.Hands-free wheelchair prototype 'Ogo' built in Kapiti shed of dismantled Segway
Otaki inventor Kevin Halsall shows off the Ogo, a hands-free electric wheelchair made from a rebuilt Segway. A Segway rebuilt into a hands-free wheelchair with a top speed of 20kmh is on the verge of mass production.The Ogo, built in an Otaki shed by Kevin Halsall has reached its third prototype, and with a few more tweaks will be ready for sale - with the help of investor support.There is only one Ogo in existence - a hand-built fibreglass prototype, which would only need a few more tweaks before being production-ready. Kevin Halsall on his Ogo - a hands-free electric wheelchair created from a rebuilt Segway. Halsall built the first version of the Ogo four years ago with his mate Marcus Thompson, who is a paraplegic, in mind.It started when Halsall first hopped on a Segway."The first thing I thought was 'if I didn't have my legs this would be the perfect thing I'd be adapting'."In its first version he borrowed a Segway and added a bolt-on seat, but "it needed to go a stage further", he said."
The steering and the sensing of it needed to be refined more, and the only way I could do that was getting into the guts of the Segway."That meant he had to buy his own Segway, costing about $14,000, which he could strip apart.Halsall's work left only the "bare bones" of the Segway, with a new patented moving seat control installed. Mastering a Segway can be a challenge - the devices operated by leaning on the handlebars to steer, and transferring weight back and forwards for accelerating and breaking.The moving seat made the acceleration and braking more responsive to movements from the rider's core muscles, he said.His mate Thompson used the device to mow his lawns, and trialled it at his work as a teacher at Otaki College.Halsall said the doing things like picking up items and moving round while holding them, and mowing lawns, sounded mundane to most people."But when you're in a wheelchair you just can't do it."Thompson got a buzz out of mowing his lawns, Halsall said, because as a paraplegic he previously relied on others to do work like that.
The Ogo comes with additional wide wheels that allow it to become "an off-road monster", he said.Halsall said in ideal conditions the Segway powering the Ogo had a range of about 40 kilometres, but with everyday use would travel about 30km."Marcus, he's had it going from his home to the school, all day at the school, in the classroom environment, then back home again."Halsall said the machine itself was perfectly safe but its high speed and control challenges created a "danger element".This, he said, was part of the attraction."Nothing is really exciting unless it's got a bit of an element of danger."Halsall, a plastic products designer, built the Ogo in his shed on his property in Otaki.The Ogo is a finalist in the Innovate awards covering the region, competing against 10 other inventions in the finals at the end of August.It is part of a bid to generate interest in the device from angel investors, alongside a potential run for crowdfunding.He said he was still looking for someone with business and commercialisation expertise to launch the product globally.
