Your Own “Kenguru” ?

Discovered this while browsing my social media feeds this evening. It’s genius and such a good advancement in electric cars and transportation technology. I love the compact size which makes it easy to maneuver and find parking, especially in urban areas like Chicago. What I like best is that it offers folks who are wheel chair bound much more independence in their travels and not have to rely on expensive unfitting of vehicles or have to wait around from the wheel chair transit systems to get around.

Here’s a video from the makers of the “Kenguru” showing how a wheel chair bound person can utilize it as their primary transportation to and from work.

If you want to pre-order your own Kenguru or find out more about this car company check out their website www.Kenguru.com
