Segway for disabled

I love that 'not a wheelchair' bike thing!

Haha yes, rather just ride the horse really [bigrolf]

You have a Magic Mobility powerchair coming don't you Mario? If so, they are so so stable. Been testing mine out! Cannot roll it! Even navigating steep creek banks and beds :O
Have been testing it at full seat extension too, by doing crazy things like trying to climb on my horse on none flat ground. Still cannot roll it or make it even be unstable, think yours will get you fishing again [biggrin]

yep E.D. I should get it end feb or early march. dont know why it takes so long to put a chair together surely they would have a parts bin.?
hmm I was told due to my weight full height extension could upset the centre of gravity if travelling too fast. compared to your petite frame, careful

A friend of mine has recently taken possession of one of these.

Zoomability -

He also has one of these and while the 4WD unit is capable of things that the wheelchair can't handle, the Batec is much more practical for several reasons and gets a lot more use.

It used to take a few months but now 8weeks. That's what mine took :) my manual wheelchair took 6 weeks [emoji33]
They crawl along at Max height, you can't go fast if you wanted to. That's the only thing I wish was different, its top speed. 10km too slow [emoji23] but amazing machines! Mine got to play in mud tonight

No good for me as it relys on weight shift on the seat. My ability to move safely is deteriorating, If l was to involuntarily slouch forward and not be able to regain my position it would probably become a dangerous runaway express..

Mario, you have been good to me. You have been good to the whole LR community, I live close as you know. I'm not perfect, and I'm in the process of putting Mum , 102, into care, but I am also assisting a friend getting to Monash Moorabbin for his chemo and radio, which ain't fun, but, and I have said this many times, I am available to help you and Heather. Doing so gives me a purpose. Ask.

He won't. I don't get it. Except pride. Dunno. I have time, not all time, but Mario is a friend. I am here for him.

I have a mate in his mid 70s, in a similar scene to Mario, but who lives alone, who refuses to ask for assistance. I got a bit frustrated/annoyed/angry/disappointed at first but have come to realise that it's just the way things are.
My mate has enough issues without my being on his back.
A fishing trip sounds good, though! [thumbsupbig][thumbsupbig][thumbsupbig]
