Wheelchair Tuning Part XXVIII Minitrac

I have reported about my wheelchair tractive type Minitrac

already several times (click below under “Tags” on Minitrac to read older blog posts).

After re-importing the roundabout 15 year old Minitrac from Tenerife back to its home country one year ago, replacing all wearing parts and a set of new batteries the Trac was completely ready for use again.

This was proven in June 2011 at more than + 30° Celsius in Crete.

Technically ok again means for me that the Trac can be modified now.
I am still a bit indecisive about the final appearance.

But I had to realize the tip of S. Jakober, the chief engineer of Swisstrac ((similar tractive).

You might call me insane, why you need in Frankfurt/Main

Tractor wheels for Minitrac

Even here sometimes snow is falling, sandstorms are more unusual.

Yippee…, finally it is here, my test snow!!!

At the moment it is snowing since 2 hours at minus 9° Celcius, well, better than Kelvin…

When we have reached a snow depth of min. 10 cm, I will voluntarily leave my cosy warm flat even at – 30° Celsius and drive around outside with the Minitrac, so that I can write a truthful test report, if I will survive it.

OK…, I have to admit that I only need the tractor wheels because our pub quarter in Alt Sachsenhausen has cobble stones. ;-)
