Can I order this Suburban through RYNO Mobility?
No, Ryno Mobility is a different company then EPIC manufacturing. Ryno Mobility can Assist with information, but the conversion is built and billed through EPIC.
Is the 22” rims and tires recommended included in the price?
No, Customer provides them during the build and EPIC installs them free of charge.
Are the rims and tires required?
Yes, EPIC will not build the conversion unless the rimes and tires are installed. Clearance for the wheelchair lift mandates this upgrade.
Why is this conversion priced higher then a Mini Van?
First off, these vehicles are custom built per order not run off an assembly line.Secondly, It’s not a Mini Van. For years, you the consumer had one choice VAN, now you can drive an SUV and gain a sense of style and comfort not only for you but your family. We hope to streamline the process as time progresses, so many people want different options and have different needs that right now that is not possible.
Cost of the conversion is $36.000. Deposit $17.000 add to this the cost of the vehicle. Chevy Suburban
Does EPIC have dealers I can purchase the conversion through?
Not at this time, we sell direct to the public. We are looking at establishing four strong dealers around the country to represent our product. The US will be broken up into four regions and units then can be ordered from a representative in that region.
