Wheelchair bound people face unique mobility challenges when it comes to transportation. A recent addition to the electric vehicle market expects to bring green transportation to more persons that use wheelchairs. Originally developed by Hungarian company Kenguru an electric vehicle was brought to US last year by Austin, Texas-based lawyer Stacy Zoern. Now, Kenguru is manufactured in Pflugerville, Texas. Kenguru could be an ideal transportation solution for wheelchair-bound urbanizes. This vehicle has no seats and allows drivers to control the car from their wheelchair. The car has an electric motor-powered shell that fits around a wheelchair and its rider. The car has been designed to be as simple and easy as possible for someone in a wheelchair to operate. The driver presses a button on the key fob.
