 Topic: New transport for our seniors.
Posted: 26 Sep 2024 at 8:23pm |
This is what they are using for seniors transport in Tofield, which is the town closest to me, where I do most of my shopping and get most of my supplies and hang out with my buddies at the coffee shop! I haven't been for a ride yet!!
I didn't realize it was Chinese!

I like it !!!... But my wife could never get up the step to get into the car !! You would think for "Seniors" they would have put in an extra step / lift.

It's about a 9 or 10 inch step to the running board. They probably carry a small portable step for use when not pulled in to the curb, then it's only about 5 inches or so to step up.

Maybe could adapt a retractable step such as on a Lincoln?

It will be put away for the winter. We also have a local bus that serves the same purpose, but in the summer months it gets pretty busy, so the open rig was a cheaper alternative to another bus, and more fun also!

That is a cool little vehicle and the price is good too. Do you know what kind of range it has?

I agree Phil, it looks like fun! We have one here in town also and it is used mostly for tours. One tour is called 'The Dark Side of La Crosse'. I went on that and it was enlightening. All of he 'bad' things that happened back in the early days of the past century. This was a cross roads for all the gangsters that ran between Chicago and the Twin Cities.
