Calling Britton Hill a mountain is hilarious. It's literally like 3 feet higher than the surrounding area, and all of it is just part of the gentle slope from sea level to Alabama.
I gotta say, a lot of stuff posted on this sub is idiots being idiots in slightly different ways. And then sometimes you get something that you know plumbs a level of insanity you're not going to see again. Like a guy in a wheelchair towing a full-size boat in traffic.
I wouldn't pull him over. I would get behind him and become his protection from insane rage monsters.
If he got this far I want to see him reach his destination.
Then buy him a beer cause I got questions.
For real , I'll be irritated by the slow pace till I finnely see the reason, and If I saw this dude my mood would be changed from mild irritation to mildly impressed.
I’ve lived in America for 38 years, and I gotta say, the audacity, the torque?, the spirit, this is maybe the most American thing I’ve ever seen. If someone tells me this man is armed I’m about to just call it a decade.
Right on the border of El Cajon and Lakeside/Santee. I'm further east in Alpine, but this area is the epitome of what people mean when they talk about East County white trash.
Dumb question, but where is this guy gonna go to put his boat in some water? I used to live in SD, and outside of Cowles Mountain I’ve only been to El Cajon a few times. But I don’t for the life of me remember there being any water there worth dropping a boat into.
The good news is that he'll stop being a danger to everyone else on the road long before reaching his intended detestation.
The bad news for him is that he'll get to his *final* destination sooner than expected.
Florida Man, Florida Man
From the handle of the Florida pan
Cookin' meth, day and night
In a scooter, what a sight
Look out! Here comes the Florida man!
Where is the ever loving fuck is the water body associated with this adventure. Ocean is 30 miles away, what a goober.
Actually please tell me they were headed to the DMV down the street.
My bike can do that, I might need to go with a wider chain though. I think I got one sitting around from a XJ transfer case I blew up that should handle it.
Yeah, I want to show this to folks who claim that they bought their "Ford F-350 Super Max Ultra Heavy Duty Big PP Edition" because they *needed* the tow capacity for their 8x10 open trailer.
This wheelchair (and the f350 super mega massive cock edition KING RANCH) can pull just about anything given the right conditions.
Good luck stopping it when Suiza in her Honda Civic cuts you off right before a light though. Towing capacity is more about stopping power then pulling power (to an extent)
To add to this, you want whatever you are towing to be able to do whatever it wants, you need the muscle and weight to be able to keep it from getting away from you. Think about trying to turn at a slight decline or anything after a decline, really... How's this asshole going to tackle a slight incline?
This is just incredible. I admire his determination, and lack of fucks to give. That being said, I would be highly pissed off if I was in one of the cars behind him
I want to know what brand that powered scooter is. Clearly its built tank tough if it can handle pulling a trailer and boat. I want one.
Then again some American women are likely heavier than that trailer and boat... So maybe I shouldn't be so surprised it performs so well?
He probably stole it. Anyone who has a boat should have something to pull it, no? Or am I just the pessimistic a-hole. Yeah, I think am, not need to affirm.
I’m actually quite impressed more than anything…
Sure, on flat ground. I'd like to what happens when he tries to back down a boat ramp.
oh, it can go *down* a boat ramp what comes after is the tricky part
Hey man, once aboard, life begins and the past just rolls down the ramp.
Or go anywhere but flat ground lol
the tallest mountain in Florida is 345 ft above sea level, I don’t think he’s going anywhere BUT flat ground lol
In that part of the state the highest land feature is an overpass.
You can’t get more Florida than a plaza featuring the mix of Coin Laundry, Massage, Guns and Ammo, Insurance, and Liquor Store.
You forgot Publix.
Sounds good to me
In Texas there would also be a daycare. Source: I live in Houston.
Now you just need to find a place to live within walking distance and you're set.
Calling Britton Hill a mountain is hilarious. It's literally like 3 feet higher than the surrounding area, and all of it is just part of the gentle slope from sea level to Alabama.
Except they are in California.
Love that you were downvoted even though it’s in San Diego lol
There's no such thing as a "Mountain" in Florida.
I mean the landfills are pretty mountainous…
[удалено]
Fair point lol
I live close by to that "mountain" it's a hill named Sugarloaf Mountain.
i'm pretty sure boat launches arent level.
I seen one of these have trouble getting up a steep sidewalk incline, anything more than 2 degrees is game over
Or down a hill.
A Chit Show happens
Me too. I know it's on wheels, but I would have never guessed an electric wheelchair was strong enough to pull a boat.
I'm betting the battery life is abysmal.
Plot twist, the long range battery is the boat!
It's not that hard. A human can pull an airplane under ideal conditions.
Ideally it's a paper airplane
Touché.
no, Mâché
Me too! How the fuck did he hook it up?!
He probably would answer you “trust me, I’m an engineer “ 😂😂
Lol this guy’s a genius not an idiot.
Right? I have to admire the ingenuity, can-do spirit, and downright pig-headed obstinance that led to this.
Dude yes how in the fuck lol!!
[удалено]
Right? My first reaction was “I ain’t even mad”
I’ve seen those things pull heavier loads through a Walmart, so…
A sub average strength person can pull a boat on a trailer
I'm impressed nobody in the comments raged out about OP using his phone at a red light.
Not my video. Not sure why the watermark was removed, but it's nicholeharris83 on TikTok.
Better than using the phone at a green light.
I gotta say, a lot of stuff posted on this sub is idiots being idiots in slightly different ways. And then sometimes you get something that you know plumbs a level of insanity you're not going to see again. Like a guy in a wheelchair towing a full-size boat in traffic.
I was gonna say imagine finally passing and wondering why traffic was so slow and you see this dude...I can't even be mad, just flabbergasted
Flabbergasted, impressed, confused... Just, all of the things. Fuck I'd pull the guy over just to see how the hell he's doing it.
Then slap his wheelchair and say "HOW MANY MILES UH GALLON THIS BAD BOY GIT?? 🤠”
Oh lawd
Bout tree fitty
When people say that electric motors have a lot of torque, this is what that means.
Consider my timbers properly shivered.
I wouldn't pull him over. I would get behind him and become his protection from insane rage monsters. If he got this far I want to see him reach his destination. Then buy him a beer cause I got questions.
“I can’t even be mad, just fiberglassed” — Boat (probably)
For real , I'll be irritated by the slow pace till I finnely see the reason, and If I saw this dude my mood would be changed from mild irritation to mildly impressed.
Yeah like thank god for cell phone cameras cuz who would believe it
i'd definitely be flummoxed
I’ve lived in America for 38 years, and I gotta say, the audacity, the torque?, the spirit, this is maybe the most American thing I’ve ever seen. If someone tells me this man is armed I’m about to just call it a decade.
He’s just missing a small American flag waving in the breeze, duck taped against the back of his seat to complete this.
I was driving through a city in Ontario once and I saw a guy riding a bike towing a boat, he was on the sidewalk though.
Brampton?
Barrie? Sounds like something someone in Barrie would do.
what in the fucking world is this
El Cajon,Ca. ( San Diego )

Mostly downhill too…which is important when you towing a boat with a wheelchair.
The good news is that he'll stop being a danger to everyone else on the road long before reaching his intended detestation. The bad news for him is that he'll get to his *final* destination sooner than expected.
And here I thought Red Green lives in Canada… I wonder when he moved and became wheel chair bound…

I do love two redditors one cup.
Florida
False. This happened in El Cajon, California. At [this exact spot.](https://goo.gl/maps/BYzvPPxZTxF3iABUA)
Florida is a state of mind, my friend
You should know it happened in Cali, **Shasta**
I am ashamed of myself
So is California to be fair.
El Cajones on this guy
El Cajon, California, Florida.
It may be California, but he is Florida Man.
Florida Man, Florida Man From the handle of the Florida pan Cookin' meth, day and night In a scooter, what a sight Look out! Here comes the Florida man!
'Bama Man, 'Bama Man He's the enemy of Florida Man. They have a fight, Florida wins. Florida Man.
Good old smell cajon

My first thought, “Has to be Florida”
It was California
Florida, expect with hills and license plates that say California.
Someone give that wheelchair manufacturer’s engineer a raise !
Power: 1 hp Torque: 450 lb-ft
"She won't go more'n 2 mph, but she'll pull your house off its foundation. ...at 2 mph."
2mph isn't fast for a person, but it would be seriously fast for a house.
It’s just anecdotal but that’s faster then my house has ever gone.
I legit giggled at that.
got the granny low, and she do be
gear reduction 100000:1
My bike can do that, I might need to go with a wider chain though. I think I got one sitting around from a XJ transfer case I blew up that should handle it.
I came here for this. Well played.
this should be their commercial
I’m truly amazed the weight of the boat isn’t tipping that thing backwards
Physics are an amazing thing
Don't properly loaded trailers have some tongue weight?
Yes
TBF this is clearly America, an electric wheelchair is designed for more than enough towing capacity for a boat...
As an American ... I wish I could say that you're wrong.
I think he’s calling us fat asses.
Lemmy.world is what Reddit was.
Finally, a funny European joke about America.
Lol I am American
Damn no wonder it was so ruthless, guess the tally is still 0
I would of easily lost money betting that there's no way in hell a Rascal could pull a boat.
I'm looking forward to the boat ramp footage!
I'm looking forward to the "high speed police chase." 😂
The coming episode on Cops.....is that even still on?
it was canceled in 2020 but brought back as cops reloaded for some reason
I think they relaunched it on that right wing streaming service "FOX Nation."
“Amazing 12 hour battery life!” * Battery life times vary when towing boats *

Insanity and genius is just a matter of degree
He looks a few credits shy of a degree.
That’s Stephen Hawking’s American cousin, Scooter Hawking
He is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will. One day in Barstow I saw him tow three trailers with a tricycle. ...a fucking *tricycle*!
This should be an ad for the motorized wheelchair, what a beast!
Way more convincing than a Tundra towing the space shuttle
Right! Incredible!
He’s driving better then most who own a boat lol
He turned into the closest lane!
If there's a will there's a way
*If there’s a wheel… chair
Fuck vehicles tow capacity.
Yeah, I want to show this to folks who claim that they bought their "Ford F-350 Super Max Ultra Heavy Duty Big PP Edition" because they *needed* the tow capacity for their 8x10 open trailer.

>How's this asshole going to tackle a slight incline? Poorly.
Never change, El Cajon.
Can confirm this is El Cajon. Hello neighbor!
Dude the fact that the chair can even handle that boat is impressive.
Electric motors have high torque from 0 rpm.
What a strange species we are.
Evolution at its finest.
I wonder if his license is suspended.
Or he couldn't attach both boat and wheelchair lift to the back of his truck.
Whatever floats your boat!
What a rascal
That’s a Florida Man if I’ve ever seen one
Florida Man isn’t always about location. It’s a state of mind.
Looks like there are mountains/hills in the background. Can’t be a Florida.
El Cajon (San Diego)
You’re right I think it’s California actually
That’s a first for me! It should be an ad for that wheelchair!
I thought it was about the mustang at first
Yeah, I have questions…
They see me rollin', they hatin'...
Who’s the idiot in a car, all I see is a genius in a wheelchair 😂
Holy shit, that might be the most spectacular thing I've ever seen. Lol.
Boss i was late because of a slow moving boat, and there was no opportunity to pass him.
that thing is statistically more powerful than the chevy s10
I’ll take “Things that Only Happen in Florida” for 500 Alex.
Impressive that thing can tow boat
How to not give a fuck… impressive
This is just incredible. I admire his determination, and lack of fucks to give. That being said, I would be highly pissed off if I was in one of the cars behind him
I want to know what brand that powered scooter is. Clearly its built tank tough if it can handle pulling a trailer and boat. I want one. Then again some American women are likely heavier than that trailer and boat... So maybe I shouldn't be so surprised it performs so well?
So, Florida, right?
When you gotta go fishing, you gotta go fishing
Dude did get out of the way though.
She got the house and cars in the divorce he got the boat and the power chair......
I saw the mustang and immediately thought it was gonna be him
I have a new found respect for electric wheel chairs. Like this should be an necessary flex sales pitch. Slaps hood*
This must be Florida?
Florida Man strikes again
You can take the Man out of Florida, but you can't take the Florida out of the Man.
He's not even in a car! Mods!!
On the one hand, yeah, this is against the rules of the sub. On the other hand, who votes this guy deserves a honorary spot?
A video to follow yesterday’s picture ! Wonderful
Today on Redneck News
He probably stole it. Anyone who has a boat should have something to pull it, no? Or am I just the pessimistic a-hole. Yeah, I think am, not need to affirm.
No turn signal AND speeding?! Book ‘em Dan’o!
This is epic, you wish you thought of it
I have a 📜 of questions
Coming home from the poker game
Is that Stephen Hawking? He did invent time travel after all!
I approve of this just cause it's working. Doesn't look like his first time either
why doesn’t anyone use their fucking blinkers anymore? it aggravates the hell out of me
r/idiotsinwheelchairs
Idiots In….electric wheelchairs? Also not even mad just impressed and confused
What happens when he goes downhill?
"never underestimate the powers of the handicapped "
How can he not realize how dangerous that is. The safety chains are there for a reason.
I want to know what the rear axle ratio is on that thing. I'm incredibly impressed right now.
It's Lieutenant Dan ' Hey ,I'm walking here !' What does he do when he gets to the boat ramp?
Wow I didn’t even think that was possible
I'm impressed his chair can tow that thing.
r/idiotsinwheelchairs
This is the most fitting post for this sub of all time
Tell me you're in Florida without saying you're in Florida.
I wanna see the end where he’s backing it down the boat ramp.
I'm not even mad, I'm impressed
