Yes, I remember that old gag now. As I recall, the big joke with the desk was that it had no air conditioning. So Maxwell Smart says to the chief, There’s no air conditioning? You spent two million dollars on a desk that you can drive on the highway and there’s no air conditioning?” LOL

I remember: the desk was like one of those Transformers; all that stuff came out – the wheels, dashboard and windshield – when he pressed a secret button. What a killer desk! And that Maxwell Smart, a cool cucumber he was.

Oh that would be cool, like something off that Dr. Zhivago movie or something. Or even Get Smart. Didn’t he have a desk that was rigged to cruise down the highway at like 70 miles an hour?

Yea, but if you got money – like twenty thousand dollars you’re not doing anything with – I am sure you could find someone to build you a monster truck version of a mobility scooter or wheelchair. Money will buy anything, if you know what I mean.

I do not think they make a four wheel drive version of either of these. I believe they are all just one wheel drive or two wheel drive. Probably because of the amount of juice they use to run; they conserve more energy just running on one or two wheels.

Hey do they make a four wheel drive kind of these? That would be great for the redneck, outdoorsy people. They could mud bogging and trail riding and things like that, if they enjoy this kind of stuff.

I think that the electric wheelchair came around long before the handicapped scooter. This type of scooter is a relatively recent development in the mobility field and only a couple of decades old if I remember correctly.

You are correct on the last count: an electric wheelchair is not the same things as a mobility scooter. They are fairly similar but not exactly the same animal. But for all intents and purposes they are the same.
