        You were asking about an electric all-terrain vehicle.
The current issue of ACCENT ON LIVING has an ad for a 6-wheel ATV
which will carry 2-4 people.  It is pictured with a roll bar and
looks fairly easy to transfer into.

        It says it is totally handcontrolled, electric start,
forward and reverse gear, with room for wheelchair.  Easy entry.

Yes, ATVs are EASY to transfer into, as far as not much
problem sliding on the seat, they have the start right
at the handle boards and above all, they are especially
fun when your in the mountains jumping huge logs at great speeds
and watching out on the main road for the Forest service who
wont let you have fun on your own public lands, not even horse
trails that can hold cars.

If I want to hear noise, I'll go to Sturgis, SD and listen to the Angels
rev their hogs, or sit on the overpass at the Hollywood & Pasadena freeways
at rush hour.  However, *I* go to public forests to hear ... nothing.
That's the way it should be.  Our local mountain parks allow *no* vehicles
with the exception of wheelchairs (that includes no mountain bikes).

Perhaps you should redefine your idea of fun.  BTW, are you aware
of how many people are now disabled due to ATVs?

You have come to the right place, Kevin. If you are not already
disABLED, there is a reasonably high probability that you will
become so if you keep on as you describe. Is this a put-on, or what?
