Northstar E

VMI’s One-of-a-Kind In-Floor Manual Conversion The Northstar E wheelchair-accessible minivan is the only caregiver-centered conversion to offer front-seat wheelchair access and an in-floor, slide-out ramp. With all of the core elements of a functional mobility vehicle, the Northstar E offers practicality, ease of use, and other side-entry benefits at an affordable price. The patent-pending manual in-floor ramp of the Northstar E is easier to stow and deploy than a manual fold-out ramp and allows for more room for wheelchair maneuverability inside the van. By providing optional mid-row seats and a removable front passenger seat, the Northstar E fits up to seven passengers and offers caregivers more flexibility.
