Tank Chair
It’s a beautiful sunny day as fingers of sunlight are speckling their way across the pavement and shimmering through the leaves of the trees. Children are laughing and joyfully devouring rainbow coloured candy while their parents gaze peacefully and smile at the gift of such a wonderful family day. But then the tingling sounds of a tranquil Saturday afternoon are scorched by the growl of a tiny old lady operating a Tank Chair!
We used to think of the elderly members of our population as the least imposing, but not anymore, they’re taking back the footpath! No more gentle bus trips with polite bus drivers making polite conversation and dropping the elderly right at their doorsteps. Now, if these new rulers of the neighbourhood need to get home they could most possibly mow down a few trees and buildings to create their own footpath to their houses. It’s a pedestrian power shift!
So perhaps that description might have been a little more menacing than what is likely the truth, but give a dog a bone…. It’s human nature, that’s all I can say. If you’re going to own a tank then you must drive it like a tank! The chair is designed for off-road use obviously so adults of all ages with physical disabilities will be able to emerse themselves back in nature once again! From now on when the family goes to the snow for a holiday Granny won’t be sipping tea by a fire in the log cabin. Oh no! She will be dominating the slopes with her snow tank, tearing down obstacles in her path and enjoying the thrills of life as she should be.
For those users who aren’t quite as wild as I imagine my grandmother would have been with a tank chair, then at least there will be a silent power; a docile, all-knowing sense of calm and individual empowerment when the tank rolls heavily down the footpath hoovering up bicycles and other obstacles in its path. However, as fun as that sounds, using the chair on the footpath is probably not legal so it’s best kept to the rolling hills of snow and the cascading desert dunes. It will, of course, mean endless fun for everyone on this wonderful invention!
The material used to design this beast includes a one-piece steel chassis with the trails made from ruggedized rubber and lightweight aluminum struts. Claiming to run at a speed of 5 mph, the Tank Chair Mk II has 24V, 2HP, 127RPM variable speed motor that extracts its juice from four Optima Deep Cycle batteries.
The positive keep coming: retailing at £15 000, for every 10 chairs sold, one will be donated to someone in a rural area who can’t afford to buy the chair!

Thank you so much for you kind words.
I thought it was a fantastic invention and I even think government subsidy of such a chair would be a great idea too because it could make the lives of the less mobile far more enjoyable.
