Do you also need advice on a rear windshield wiper?

LMAO Nope, but there was a guy "rolling" by the house as we backed out of the driveway and I jokingly said, "wanna race". Well he took off and beat us to the corner! Turns out the guy is a vet. as well as one heck of an athlete and races in his chair. You wanna talk about mods...

Was this one of those chairs with mad amounts of negative camber with super thin magnesium wheels? Or did it have a V-twin hidden on it somewhere? Here, race this dude next:

Since were on the subject of wheelchairs.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?
Seems to me it's for a Handicapped accessible person.
Or it's totally fake.
Check it out anyway.

Looks pretty neat if you ask me, out of Back to the Future or something.
