Could the fastest electric wheelchair help to outrun lions, tigers &/or wolves?

[Tyrannoraptor]

If the world's fastest wheelchair could literally go up to top speeds of 40 or 50mph (just like this one or possibly those designed for racing), couldn't it be used to outrun dangerous wild animals like lions, tigers, and panthers (or maybe wolves and wild boars) without much difficulty?

Maybe we don't start with human subjects, y'know?

Just shoot the wild animals chasing you and it doesn't matter how fast your wheelchair is...

Or of course your able bodied friend....

A lion can run 50 mph in a short burst.

I would assume that the top speed for a wheelchair is on optimum conditions, paved road etc and not dirt road. I think the lion eats well today.

But i don't have a gun and i might not be capable of fighting them!

If you're in a wheelchair, perhaps it may be more advantageous to avoid going to places where wild animals like lions, tigers, and panthers (or maybe wolves and wild boars) freely roam without better protection for yourself (like inside a Land Rover or some sort of enclosed vehicle where you can roll up the windows and what not).

Yeah but motorbikes don't have windows or any protection like that unlike enclosed vehicles if one has also been used to outrun any dangerous wild animals.

Yes but, if you take a wrong turn at Albuquerque. who knows where you might end up? I prefer to be in the tank or helicopter while Jay goes out and fights the lions and rhinos (old "Wild Kingdom" show joke).

I don't know, but a gas powered wheelchair can outrun a werewolf!
