Description

Built in America as the first purpose built handicap vehicle. Much safer than the converted minivans that have the
floor removed and lowered. The MV-1 is designed with a full frame and incredibly robust power-train. This vehicle
has very low mileage and normal wear and tear for the mileage. Only a few scratches which I point out in the
pictures (one on the passenger front door, one on the passenger rear door, and a small dent on the inside of the
passenger rear door where wheelchairs enter (not visible from outside and barely visible inside). The MV-1 is the first vehicle to be designed from the ground up to be wheelchair accessible. It meets or exceeds
all relevant guidelines from the Americans with Disabilities Act, and it can even accommodate two wheelchair users
at once in its spacious interior. It has also repeatedly received passing marks according to goverment crash-test
standards, and that's with all the special equipment installed. There's no substitute for purpose-built design in
any vehicle segment, and the MV-1 continues to stand alone as the bespoke solution for wheelchair-dependent
shoppers.
Access to the van's main passenger compartment is gained via a power-retractable ramp that has a 1,200-lb capacity
and an industry-standard nonskid coating. The large entryway (36 inches wide by 56 inches high) leads to a roomy
cabin with seating for two wheelchair occupants and up to five additional passengers. There's also the optional
jump seat behind the driver's seat for extra seating capacity, and there's a space next to the driver's seat for a
wheelchair-dependent passenger to ride shotgun -- another industry first. The MV-1 also features touch points for
sight-impaired individuals.
Power comes from a 4.6-liter Ford
