Apparently they are made in Sweden. Can't find any information about them being available in the USA or Canada. Anyone else?

http://www.cyclone-mf.co.uk/vehicles/vehicles.html

I found a Swedish site that list them for sale for 148,000 krona which is about USA $18,180.

Meanwhile, I found this page with some other interesting off-road products available in the UK:

that'd be great Bob, thanks. send it to stuff@face5.net.

by the way... if you're in Australia, & they come from Sweeden... how's that going to work? Do they have dealers in various countries?

peace,

Bob -

thank you, the email w/ the .doc & images came through just fine. For the greater interest of the group here, the Woodstar ATC, converted fully for a C5, costs just under $25,000 US. Whether your injury is higher or lower, add or subtract a few thousand. The list Bob sent me even has a conversion for a C3 injury.

The base price is a couple hundred under $17,000 US.

cheers,
~ scott

Scott..i rang head office in Sweden today and had a chat with the captain of the ship..he told me they have been trying and finally had them classed as a motorcycle and they can be registered for the road over there...price is at the present rate of exchange..
Complete C5-version with headrest, but without electric functions 214.000 SEK= 26,619.36 USD (224,000 SEK)= 27,868.63 USD
Complete C3-4 version with basic electric functions in helmet and 3-point harness and elbow support in origin (same as above)
253.000 SEK=31.4839 USD (263,000 SEK)=32,730.23 USD
