In an attempt to create a more fashionable alternative to the
wheelchair devices that handicapped children currently rely on
to get around, a group of engineers at the Bath Institute for
Medical Engineering, in consultation with parents and
occupational therapists, have concocted the car-like Whizzybug.
The all-terrain vehicle can reportedly handle asphalt and green
pastures without issue, and sports a blistering top speed of two
miles-per-hour. Additionally, it can be controlled by the
caregiver or the youngster, weighs in at just under 70-pounds,
has a "fully adjustable seating system with memory foam cushions
and a programmable joystick," and to top things off, this bad
boy even touts a trailer hitch for towing those weak Power
Wheels rigs out of the rough. The devices are slated to be sold
by the developing charity, Whizz-Kidz, "at cost," which means
that interested parents will be looking at anywhere between
£1,700 ($3,406) and £2,000 ($4,007) depending on options.  [Via
