Jet Powered Concept Wheelchair
The Jet Chair combines today’s advances in jet propulsion with modern wheelchair design to make a practical, general-purpose sub-sonic everyday chair.

Time out. We're kidding! This is NOT a real product. If you thought it was, please see me about a bridge I have for sale. We're merely showing this jazzed up wheelchair to let you know that you CAN make your wheelchair your own. Spiff it up, customize it! Short of adding a jet engine, you can beautify, functify and ratify your chair. Take a look at all of our amazing wheelchair accessories and start personalizing your chair today! Or, hey, upgrade your whole look with a brand new chair. We have plenty of those in our Wheelchair category. Take a peek.
Now, back to our tricked out jet powered concept wheelchair...
Designed at the famed Lockhood Martin “Skunk Works”, the jet powered wheelchair was initially developed as a high-speed ground-based escape pod for the legendary SR71 Blackbeard. With the close of the cold war and no apparent use for the jet powered wheelchair, Allegro Medical sought the rights to produce the jet chair. The deal crafted with the State Department allows for limited production of the jet powered wheelchair as a recreational use personal transportation device. The stripped down civilian version of the craft is notably missing rocket launchers and heat-seeking missiles.
Safety first. Always wear a helmet and fire-retardant underwear when operating a jet powered wheelchair. (Underwear sold separately).
Experimental aircraft restrictions apply.
Mesa, Ariz. (PRWEB) July 24, 2008 -- Internet superstore Allegro Medical today unveiled a $387,568 jet powered wheelchair to show customers just how far they can go to make their chairs "beautiful". Probably not exactly what National Wheelchair Beautification Month founder Horace Knowles had in mind when he invented the July holiday, but Allegro considers its 'Jet Chair' beautiful nonetheless.
The image of the supercharged wheelchair, complete with jet engine, fat run-flat high pressure tires, a rear airfoil, windsock and curb feelers (for easy parking) is part of an advertising campaign to encourage savvy wheelchair users to "Pimp Their Ride". The wheelchair is advertised for $387,568 -- marked down from $755,000 -- and is reported to go 0-300 mph in 4.2 seconds. A safety helmet and fire-retardant underwear are recommended.

looks like it belongs in a Batman movie. This tricked out wheelchair
fit our concept so perfectly that we decided it would be fun to
advertise it in our electronic catalog and on our website

"It looks like it belongs in a Batman movie. This tricked out wheelchair fit our concept so perfectly that we decided it would be fun to advertise it in our electronic catalog and on our website," says Sean Cramer, Allegro's Vice President of Marketing. "The Jet Chair is getting a lot of laughs and attention, and one customer actually added it to his shopping cart and tried to buy it. A few people have called to ask if it is real. It's not, by the way."
Billed as a practical, general-purpose sub-sonic everyday wheelchair, perfectly at home in the Bonneville Salt Flats doing 400 mph or cruising to the market, it still may not be for everyone. If a wheelchair with a jet pack isn't your idea of a beautiful wheelchair, Allegro Medical has plenty of wheelchair alternatives and accessories. Most people start with a nice cup holder and work their way up. In addition to showcasing more than 115 different wheelchairs, the Allegro website offers 400+ wheelchair accessories, all designed to enhance the functionality, safety and overall look of an existing manual wheelchair or power chair. Anyone shopping at http://www.allegromedical.com can order online and have specialty products like beverage holders, colorful wheel casters, spinning spokes, backpacks, pouches and trays delivered directly to their home. The sky is the limit.

Louboutin shoes are effortlessly recognizable from a distance as well, since the red leather sole could be the attraction that catches each eye.

Keys get lost all the time, and you may think it's a good idea to have your name and address.
