    Get Your Motorized Wheelchair Runnin': The Martin Conquest

    When Alan Martin's son was injured in an accident which left him unable to walk, Martin conjured up a vision of a BMW-powered, three-wheeled vehicle with a really long set of ape hangers. "Why," you may ask, gentle reader, "would a man dream up such a vehicle in response to his son's injuries?" Elementary, dear patrons of the Jalopnik: so the vehicle could be operated by someone seated in a wheelchair. Currently selling in the UK for around 19,000 quid (yowza!), the Martin Conquest features Momo rear wheels, a 140-watt sound system, and tops out at 85mph. It should be able to take an Isetta in a drag race. [Thanks to CrOaKeR for the tip.]
