Too bad.
That would be a lot of fun to take
to the market.

And some qualified and then never used the darn things, like my aunt. I
have an Invacare Storm Power 9000 rear wheel drive folding electric
wheelchair (with right angle motors unfortunately) sitting on my front porch
unused but still functional because she used it a couple times and then
stored it in her garage and let the batteries (MK 22NF Gel cell) discharge
and go bad. One of the 2 batteries I managed to recover somewhat to 20Ah out
of the original 55 but the other had shorted cells and I recycled it. The
one I recovered is hooked to my APC back-UPS Pro 650 (BP650SX107).
IOW a new set of batteries and a charger is all that would be required to
resurrect this one. I run it occasionally on a set of standard 18Ah AGM
batteries like are in most jump-start packs, this set is from my parent's
Black & Decker cordless electric lawnmower.

There are lots available. Search the web for "pedal power"
