[QUAD-L] Re: New 4x4 is alive- NorthAmerican Market

[Martin T Brown]

Hey all Thank you for interest and ideas you guys have, especially by a wise friend Wheelie.  You guys had a few questions for me, so let me try and answer them: FDA: I am currently busy with the “Pre market Notification [51O(k)] Application for Mechanical and Powered Wheelchairs, and Motorized Three--Wheeled Vehicles”.  In South Africa we only have a SABS (South African bureau of standards) and currently don't have a standard or documents for the requirements of electric wheelchairs.  So after the FDA process I will create a set of standards for the South African bureau of standards, there are no electric wheelchair manufacturers in South Africa thus there are no standards. If anybody knows anything about how the FDA works, please shout as I will definitely need help! USA distribution point: I have not given much thought to this yet as I think it is rather pointless without FDA approval, but this is definitely something that I will need... So once again if any of you have any ideas please let me know. Parts, Service: everything used on our chairs are readily available anywhere in the world, my design philosophy was to keep it simple, durable, strong, comfortable and robust.  Every aspect of the chair except for motors and controls are handmade.  The frame is hand bent from square tubing, I offer a lifetime guarantee on all my frames. Controls = Dynamic Controls Motors = Fracmo motors Actuators = Linak If you guys/girls have any further questions or suggestions please pass them along. Martin T.
