Electrobite an Electric Wheelchair Conversion

Step 4: Controller Mount & Seat

To keep things simple we decide to use the original controller that came with the wheel chair. However it didn't look very...natural. We settled on burying it in the seat and covering it in the same leather as the seat. 
Kyrsten and I wanted a comfortable ride, so we came up with a 3 part foam seat attached to a plywood base. Great for rough terrain.
Our great Friend Amy Jenkins of cozyrampage agreed to upholster the seat. Her and Kyrsten played around with ideas and settled on making the seat resemble the spine with sections that matched the ribs. The leather they found matched the color so well, that most people walking up to it don't notice the controller, or that there is even a seat there! Well done girls!
