#1 - Mega-chair six-thousand
Builder: legovillager
Let me take you through it...
1) Large off terrain wheels (The large offterain wheels enable you to tackle treacherous terrain.)
2) Cup holder (One of your arms is controlling the wheelchair, and you need to carry something else in the other. Where are you going to put your drink? In the cup holder of course!)
3) Control joystick (To drive the wheelchair with of course!)
4) Comfy padded chair (You might be sitting there for a long time. Comfort is a top priory.)
5) umbrella/sunshade (If it's raining, and your sitting in a wheelchair, you get quite wet. The umbrella prevents you from getting wet.)
6) rear view camera (If you've ever used a wheelchair, you'll notice that it's almost impossible to look behind you. This camera tackles this problem.)
7) Screen (The screen gives you live feed from the video camera, so you can see from behind.)
8) Car crusher. (Made for crushing those annoying cars who block the dip in the pavement and use the disabled spaces as a "Stop and get some money from the cash-point" space.)
and here's a link with more pictures and info http://www.legoville.co.uk/Pimp%20my%20wheelchair.htm
Oh I forgot to mention I'm from the uk.

#3 - Power Riding in the Present
Builder: Rook
Hello from "The Great White North" (Canada),
Power Riding in the Present
“Ah the Vikings are here!”
So I just thought I’d do a line of Viking themed wheelchairs in honor of my ancestry.
So you’re usually late getting to the office. Well this year you’ll be on time to the annual Halloween Office Party in brand new DragStar1200.

#5 - Here and Now
Builder: Razel
Description:
- solar panels - it converts sun's energy to electricity that the wheelchair use
- shade - it protects the rider from sun's harmful rays (it is retractable so, if the rider wants light from the sun, he will just fold it using the built-in computer)
- robotic claw - it holds anything the rider wishes
- big wheels - it has big wheels to let it cross rocky roads
- touch screen monitor - it is the center of control of the wheelchair. It has also an access to the internet (and of course, to read Brick House![/b] )
- lamp - it provides the wheelchair enough light so that the rider can read what's written on his monitor

#6 - The Computer Desktop Wheelchair
Builder: jamesclark111
age:13
country:northern America (east)
[The Computer Desktop Wheelchair
Don't you hate it when you can't take your laptop computer on travel because your on wheelchair with nothing to help you with even when your alone?
Well with this wheelchair, you won't need to bother with buying your own laptop and getting it on your broken lap or leg (Ouch!). This wheelchair comes with it's own table and computer with it.
The seat can go about 270 degrees (I forgot what it was called but I will just use degrees) back and forth so that you can actually sleep on your wheelchair.
You won't need those joystick controllers or car wheels to control your wheelchair. You can just use the arrow keys on the computer to control your wheelchair.
but make sure you use wheelchair lock (W lock) for moving the wheelchair and seat lock (S lock)for moving the seat back and forth

#7 - Cameraman Special Wheelchair
Builder: LuxorV
Jack is a very professional cameraman, indeed one of the best. He had a serious accident while working on a stunt scene involving exploding cars. When he came out of the hospital, the lookout was he had to leave his job. He had nothing of it! He asked a friend of his who worked on tech stuff for the movies to build him a special wheelchair with which he could still do his work. The result is this beauty with motorized wheels, a camera stand with remote controls for operating it and a posable stage light, all fed by a battery on the back of the chair. As an optional, Jack also got comfort pillows for his back!
More photos can be found here.

#8 - Here and Now
Builder: Deathdog
Country of origin: USA (Indiana, by way of Michigan, to be specific)
It ain't much, but it's comfy and it's fast! Obviously, it's radio controlled as well -- just hope that Doyle doesn't jam the frequency and send you screaming into the nearest Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

"Radio control might be a bit prone to signal jamming or hi-jacking – not sure of its practicality indoors either."

#9 - ATW (All Terrain Wheelchair)
Builder: shepherdweb
The ATW is not only able to navigate difficult terrain, but it's also speedy. Someone left their dirty laundry on the floor? No problem...the ATW rolls right over it!

I reside in the USA.
Tranquility Says:
"Now that is really novel. I assume it has a gyro in it to stop it tipping over? I can see myself in one of these."

#10 - Mack Master 50 Cent's Piff Pad
Builder: legorevolution
Star rapper 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) lost use of his legs earlier this year during a fierce shootout. When asked to comment on the incident he replied 'I didn't just lose my legs yo, I lost a bit of pride inside you know what I'm saying? I also lost my pimp limp. It's a shame that I thought was invincible after being shot 9 times years ago. This round I got shot 10 times; it's just an unlucky number man'. Indeed Curtis may have lost more than his legs, but he has vowed to not let the disability slow down record productions as he prepares to entice fans with an up and coming world tour. Titled 'Money, Cash, Ho-meless People', Curtis hopes to raise money for those with disabilities, as well as those without shelter. He is quoted saying, 'Man, the thing about our society is that we often get greedy with material wealth and possessions, forgetting what really matters, you know what I'm saying? I'm going to change the face of the game with my new pimped out wheelchair to promote the awareness.' Though Curtis has vowed to help raise awareness for the less fortunate in society through his own promotion, it is notable that his new wheelchair features a 22" plasma tv, 22" rear spinners wheels, a $10,000 gold and diamond 'crunk' cup, a detailed red velvet interior, a gold plated front grill, and a large money blowing machine called a 'rain-maker'. Not to mention, he has scantily dressed females pushing him around, whilst he wields an AK-47. We can only hope the best for 50 and his upcoming world tour.
