Wheelchair mods

[Snapey]

Because my wife is now confined to a wheelchair we needed something to cart her around so a couple of months ago I bought a Japanese import Toyota Alphard Welcab. The Welcab bit means it's equipped with a detachable wheelchair. Unfortunately said wheelchair can't be wheeled by the occupant and needs someone to push it around. Now my wife loves to shop, so pushing her and a loaded shopping trolley is difficult so the 14 was put in a corner for a couple of days while I thought of ways to get her mobile.

I had a small mobility scooter that was going to waste so I thought if I cut it in two I could put one half at each end and join it in the middle. So with a bit of cutting, turning & welding we now have a motorised Alphard wheelchair. It takes about a minute to set up & the same to break it down but it means dear wife can now zoom around the shops without having to rely on being pushed.

It would be interesting Dave although in the end I can see two silly old buggers confusing each other with technical bull shit  and getting nothing done.
