all including handicapped or older folks.How many other builder even compete in that market?
Worksman leaves the weight weenie stuff to the other flyby night builders.
The reason you don't see many Worksman is that those that own them won't part with them. They
also enjoy a very long life due to the robustness of the build. If it's one thing that ticks me off big
time its buying a product that was built to break and then does. Worksman are almost bulletproof.
As to the drive method......you couldn't be more wrong. One drive wheel is what you get in weight
weenie stuff or import junk NOT Worksman. Both wheels are driven on a solid 7/8" axle. How much
the PAV weighs is an educated guess on my part. However, since they are made of mild 16ga steel
tubing they will weight more than "blink and you beak it" weight weenie stuff. The weight that you are
so roundly critcal of is the main reason the PAV rides like a cloud. The same as a Cadillac or Rolls.
I feel the bumps on my PAV as little thumps not teeth jarring thuds.
There is also the fact that Worksman is a small AMERICAN family company of about 50 employees
in the heart of NYC building AMERICAN products one at a time for each customer at fair prices all
can afford. We need to support AMERICAN businesses like Worksman not poke fun at the quality
products they build. Shame on you...........
