Video: Kenguru, specialized electric car for disabled people
The video above is all about the Kenguru, an electric car specifically designed for a wheelchair. Kenguru has a large door at the back that opens by remote control, so a person in a wheelchair can easily enter the car. The Hungarian company Rehab Ltd. designed the Kenguru, which has a 35-mile range and a top speed of 25 miles per hour. The car is free in Hungary for qualified people and is expected to come to the United States for $14,500.Related:

Nice little vehicle, would definitely be good for getting around town and such. I would just make doubly sure that no one has the opportunity to park behind it and "block you OUT" of your car...

Now THAT is cool. And bravo to Hungary for a system that lets disadvantaged people gain access to them.
I think if brought to America the speed may need to be raised to 35mph.

Nope. If brought to the US, it would be punshished as an NEV, stuck with the same 25 mph speed limit (well, I think two states raised it to 35).
