After retiring to the beach in March of 2004, Jerry started having problems with fatigue. In June of 2005, he was diagnosed with ALS, or, Lou Gehrig's Disease. As his health declined, his ability to get to the beach became increasingly difficult.

While he was still able to walk he modified a fisherman's cart by adding Wheeleez tires and PVC so that it was converted into an easy to push or pull beach cart. Soon thereafter, he added wheelchair motors and controls so that he could carry a large load with minimum effort.

Note the foldable umbrella wings, which eliminate the need to bury the umbrella pole in the sand, and they fold back when not in use.

As the legs began to weaken, Jerry started working on a beach wheelchair. Using PVC pipe and the knowledge he gained from building the electric beach cart, he was able to build a beach wheelchair prototype powered and controlled with electric wheelchair components.

Once the design was complete, he hired someone to build a metal frame. This new frame eliminated inherent PVC weakness, lowered the center of gravity and made the beach wheelchair more stable.

Our custom-made motorized beach wheelchairs are made from a welded aluminum frame with numerous adjustments, and comes with a padded, comfortable seat that partially reclines. We do not take credit for inventing the beach wheelchair. There are several manufacturers on the west coast who build and sell similar beach wheelchairs. The major difference between them and us is that they sell their new chairs for $7000--$10,000 and we rent our used chairs for $60 to $70 per day. Renting allows a much greater number of folks to enjoy getting to the beach.

There is nothing like a day at the beach in one of our fantastic motorized beach wheelchairs. Our powered beach wheelchairs will afford the disabled vacationer the mobility to access the beach, so you dont have to watch all of the fun from the condo. Our sand is sugar white once again and awaits your arrival.
