Connect PTV

The Connect PTV is our first vehicle which caters specifically to the wheelchair user allowing them to enter and drive the cart from their chair without assistance.  A motorized ramp is deployed at the touch of a button and once onboard the wheelchair is locked into place with an automatic powered docking station.  Standard hand controls are utilized for basic vehicle operation and all switches are moved out of the dash and closer to the user for ease of use.

The Connect is built using the Yamaha Drive2 chassis, a proven leader in the golf cart industry.  Both gas and electric powered vehicles are available with a slew of options to make your cart your own.
