"I have an idea for an electric vehicle that can be used by disabled people with children and that complies with the legal requirements for wheelchairs. After two years of global searching, I have given up on finding what I need. Will you create such a vehicle for me? "

Prof. Halvor's prototype

This is our biggest

project to date.

THE CUSTOMER:

Halvor Hanisch is senior researcher in disability studies at Oslo Metropolitan University, and associate professor in disability at VID specialized university. Hanisch has been network leader of the Norwegian Network for Disability Research (2011-2016), and editor-in-chief of the Scandinavian Journal for Disability Research (2012-2015).

THE PROBLEM:

Halvor is really tired of the fact that both legislation and the aids available for disabled people insinuate that disabled people should not have children. So Buddha Bikes had to help him change that a bit. First of all, by making a vehicle for him and his son.

OPGAVEN:

"Ensure that the vehicle is perceived of as the world's coolest wheelchair"

- Halvor Hannisch, June 2020

Benyt genbrugsmaterialer så vidt muligt.
Køretøjet skal leve op til norske regler vedr. kørestole (regler som er designet til 1-personskøretøjer)
Plads til 2 personer på køretøjet.
Indstigning som i kørestol, barnesele på bagsæde
Plads til indkøb etc.
Motorkraft nok til norske stigninger go ditto parkeringsbremse.
Sikker nok til et barn
Lang batterilevetid og mulighed for lange ture.
Byg styresystem med høj manøvredygtighed, bakgear og uden elementer, der forhindrer indstigning som på kørestol. Cykelstyr og rat er udelukket.
Gør den flot og beundringsværdig. Man kan godt have et handikap og stadig ankomme i stil.
Byg et affjedringssystem så kantsten og huller i vejen ikke giver problemer.
