There's a pretty cool guy on YouTube called JerryRigEverything. He started a non-profit company called Not A Wheelchair that makes electric wheel chairs that can be used off road.
I'm on mobile so linking is hard, but check out notawheelchair.com to see what they make.
Edit: Oh, it auto links. Neat.
