This was the start of my off-road wheelchair prototype. This was somewhere around 1972.
The chair used the standard John Deere Electric 90 riding mower gearbox and motor. Yes, way-back-when, John Deere manufactured a battery-powered riding lawnmower. It was trouble-free and worked great. Didn’t burn gas… It used 3 Group 27 batteries, running everything at 36 volts. As for lights and horns and things, this would be easy to add, as 36v stuff is easy to find if you know where to look.
