Wey-hey!!
What a fantastic bit of work there, I love it, you're a real clever fella. :salute:
One thing springs to mind however, since you have to take the wheelchair AND the scoot, why not just take & use the scoot, or is it a 'comfort' thing??J
Just before he passed, I bought my old dad both a wheelchair and a scooter, the chair was a bit 'basic' , push job,  big wheel at the back jobbie, but the mobility scoot was a real nice comfy, swivel captains-seat model with large wheels etc.
I still have them, might be needing them soon. :)
I DO have to grow old, I DO NOT have to grow up.

That would be too simple Lawrie. Unfortunately transferring isn't possible without a patient lift & sling.

The scooter doesn't take up much room .... it's just clamped to the tool box. see pic. I could put it inside the box but that's for the bike towing rack.

There's been more jeering than cheering in the 49 years we've been married Ben.
