Gone are the days when the only kind of wheelchair that you could get would be the manual ones. Now you have electric wheelchairs that are quite good for those who have weaker upper bodies as well as lower body problems and disabilities. The increasing popularity of electric wheelchairs which can be just plugged into the mains and charged is due to the much enhanced mobility that these afford.
Motorized wheelchairs contain motor and heavy batteries that contribute to the greater weight and sturdiness of the wheelchairs. The basic idea is to give a friendly experience to users, though the consoles and the controls may be sometimes anything but simple. These wheelchairs have various models and are on offer at varied price points, with their increasingly common usage being attributed to the much greater mobility that they afford the old or physically challenged persons.
Power wheelchairs are more convenient to use, though they are heavy so transporting them can be difficult at times. Power wheelchairs have a few drive options to choose from, depending on the placement of the larger of the wheel sets. Rear-wheel drive is the fastest, but also the most unstable on uneven ground. As a trade-off, front wheel drive is slower, but with better control, some designs now focusing on a tight turning radius.
Many of the “facts” in this story are based on Legend and Myth as much of the history of the Motorcycle and it’s Culture was lost in the Great Rebellion of 2057.
Taken from a history book in the year 2095… Motorcycles And The Culture They Inspire 1868-2017
Motorcycles started out as steam engines strapped on to bicycles in 1868. Soon after the gas engine took its place and by the 1900’s there were Motorcycle shops and Dealers all over the World. For awhile, Motorcycle’s were simply used as transportation. In 1907, when Henry Fords, Ford Motor Company, released the Model-T at a price many could afford, the Motorcycle soon went from a necessity to a luxury item.
In the 1940’s, the Motorcycle Culture really took off. An organization called the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) held races and events all over the United States of America. In 1947 the AMA held an event in Hollister California. This event was attended by many of the AMA Racing Teams and Motorcycle Clubs. This event marks the beginning of the separation of Motorcyclists which eventually led to the end of Motorcycling in the year 2017. Newspapers, being what they where in 1947, got a hold of some pictures of Motorcyclists having fun at the event. The press decided to embellish the facts and transformed the story into a torrid tale of Bikers taking over a small town! More negative news stories soon followed. Soon after Hollywood began releasing movies that portrayed Motorcyclists as lawless and evil.

I remember reading one of the Star Trek novels years ago. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise were sent to see if they could end a war that had been going on for hundred years between two planets. Star fleet told Kirk and Crew, if these two planets did not stop fighting, within ten years both planets would destroy themselves. This is kind of how I remember the story.
As the Enterprise crew studied the two planets it seemed they had nothing in common at all. The races looked nothing alike, their religions were far apart, and their economy and Government structure were completely different. The Crew searched and searched but it seemed they could find no common ground between the two planets in all their files.
When Kirk reached the planets, he held a meeting onboard the Enterprise. Delegates from both worlds attended the meeting. After only a few minutes, the Delegate’s from the two planets where arguing fiercely and Kirk had to call an end the meeting.
