Default Handicap Golf Cart

Why is it that I can't find a handicap golf cart? Why hasn't someone invented an easy access golf cart for someone who is in a wheelchair fulltime.

I have seen a few photos, but not one single concept that I am trying to find. As some of you know, I have a paralyzed step parent- he arrived yesterday! I was so disappointed to realize he can't transfer to the golf cart. It is too steep to use transfer board. Maybe a low ride golf cart? Not sure? His wheelchair seat level is 21".

I called the Mobility store in Ocala (who have tons) and spoke to someone who told me my idea hasn't been invented. I need an engineer to help me!

I see the seats of cars that electronically swivel out and then lower--that is what I want for the golf cart using a golf cart bucket seat. I would even love to find a four seater all seats forward to remove front seat and have a lift get the wheelchair in the cart. Again- told by Mobility and other companies they haven't seen it. Geesh--I think with this population someone could come up with the ability to make some serious money to sell golf carts (in this type of community) that would assist with wheelchair passengers!

Any suggestions--Thank you!
