incomplete quad wants to build a reverse trike (neophyte)

[damagedgoods]

I have a dream to build this machine to help me easily get out and go again. Almost 6 years of sitting home Is too long. My idea is to build a reverse trike with an enclosed cab on the front (to protect my wheelchairs electronics).

A ramp that I can hit a switch to lower and raise. To drive while seated in my chair to limit dangerous transfers.

Any advice, information and constructive criticism is appreciated.

I love the concept ... I'm not much help in the engineering, but I'm sure some of the builders will chime in with probably more help than you can use ... ... I am wondering why a reverse trike ... I would think a VW floorboard would make a fine start ... just my $0.02 worth.

I'm hearing a lot about VW

Several people I have spoken with have mentioned going with a vw and traditional trike. I suppose it's my lack of experience with trikes and my desire to be different that led me to my design ideas. I am open and indeed welcome any design that meets my needs. They are simple (I hope)

Ramp to drive my wheelchair into it.

Ride from my chair.

Out of the rain. My chair can't take it and my neurological system cannot handle it.

Thanks for your input.
