Default The Scion xB Ramp Edition

I've seen the bB mobility version before but this one is cooler. Got Ramp?

The liftgate is the part of the bumper.

Looks like the rear section suspension is taller than than the front.

i was thinking about this the other day... i'm glad somebody made one. most of the accesible vehicles are just enormous vans - with no ability to use the space anyways... so it's cool that there's a small vehicle for disabled people.

Where's the spare tire? At a glance, it looks as though it's just a regular xB with a ramp connected to it. But when I looked again, I noticed that part of the bumper is connected to the hatch.

kinda looks like someone busted out some photo shop skills. but if it's real that would be crazy even for non handicap people. i think i'd be able to load up my dj gear a lot with that version

That is real. Look on the company's website, they have a bunch of pictures of it.





Looks a hell of a lot cooler than most of the modified vans!

It's not PS BS, IMS makes wheelchair accessible vehicles. That would be tight.

I wondered that too. It's probably running on run-flats. I can't tell from the pics.

I didn't read up, but is the door automatic or do you have to manually open it?

Please believe I'd be rolling in a scion if I was handicapped. Now i just have to figure out how to mount rims and a spoiler onto a motorized wheelchair and i'll be set.

I think it pretty damn cool that handicapped people can get stylin rides . I don't know if there are any other "hip" vehicles that are readily modded to accept wheel chairs. All I've ever seen are those retarded caravan things, those things are horrific!

It's all real deal pics and such, the Motor Trend before last had an article on factory-sponsored modifications for handicapped drivers and passengers. Chrysler and Ford have them out too, but their vans aren't anywhere as badass and small as our xB's
