Wheelchair users, would you use any of these wheelchair bags. I'm making one for my grandpa. Please do click?
on the link. It really is Simplicity's website.
I would like to know if you would use any of them for yourself and which one and if you use that kind of wheelchair that has the huge wheel at the side and is manually pushed by another person as opposed to the electric scooter. My grandpa has the kind you push. I am making him C, in the lower right and in beige. Also, would you want a liner put in or would you not really care either way? The pattern doesn't call for a liner.
I was also thinking about sewing on 2 additional loops on it, one on each side, in case they want to hang it over those grip/push handles that come off of the back at the top for people to push you around.
I'm not going to ask him these questions because I am making it a surprise. so I will be asking all of you here.
Thank you much. :)

@Anne, grandson?? Do you think there are any men out there who like to sew who might look like my avatar who go by the name Shelly? If you had not called me a grandson, I might have gone with you for best answer. :P
how do you change batteries in a Scooter electric wheelchair?
I have not been successful in getting to the batteries of a Scooter wheelchair. Any help?
Can you suggest a good city/country in western Europe for a wheelchair bound traveler?
The wheelchair is NOT electric and the traveler is elderly, but will be accompanied by family members.
Since they don't have to walk, why do people in electric wheelchairs get handicapped spaces?
The wheelchair is doing all the work, so why do they get to park close like people who have difficulty walking?
I don't know what to do, its driving me mad!!!?
Basicly, my mum is in a wheelchair, and until I was 4 we used to have carers come and help us at home because my dad worked long hours. Then the carers stopped and the house started falling apart.
Most rooms no longer have carpets. We have a half refurbished bathroom and a quarter refurbished kitchen. The only source of hot water is the electric shower in the bathroom. Alot of windows are broke and there's lots of drafts in are house. We have no working boiler so we rely on electric heaters and the energy bill is soaring through the room. The house is the most disable unfriendly house ever. The walls are chipping and I can't take it anymore. We have an oven, but no hob so I pretty much survive on half oven baked food half micromeals The house is a mess too, because dad's meant to be refurbishing the house, but he always starts it and then puts it off. I haven't had my room painted all my life, infact, the only new piece of furniture in my room is a desk, apart from that the rest has been in here all my life. (It was my brother room till he left)
I've said to my parents why can't we move. I've broken down into tears infront of my dad because of this house. Both my parents have at one point said they would love to mvce but they always go back on there word and will never admit it to each other, even when I try to get them to at dinner time. It's got to the point before where I felt there was no point in getting out of bed.
Its annoying, we live really close to Blenheim Palace, We live on prime development land. There's loads of fancy estates next to our house, they even made an offer but my dad didn't tell us till it had expired. I can tell if the council saw my house me and my sister would be taken away.
Is there anything I can do to force my parents to move. I can't take this house anymore!
Oh and by the way. We live in the UK, and for a new boiler it would cost minimum £8000 and we'd have to have the floor boards ripped up.
@shutupyahface
that was a true detail, you dont know the situation, i just wanted advice, not a stuck up know it all insulting me. Its true, a new boiler installation would cost £8000 we had a quote from a engineer. So "shutupyahface" yourself.
Electric Motor For Kart Help?
I plan to make a fun little kart thing that will power me around. What I need help with is the motor! I know I could pick up an electric scooter motor or wheelchair one but I am looking at industrial motors cause there are more available. Now I weigh 70kg and the unit the motor will drive will say be 10kg so around 80kg all up. what motor will work for me? I look at these motors and read the power and rpm but what is it i need to know? I need torque as i want it to get up and go rapidly but it also doesn't need to go insanely fast!(maximum 20mph or so) Can someone please explain to me what i should look for in a motor before i buy. thanks
I am looking for a really disturbing video!?
A friend showed me this music video a while back and I can't remember what it was.
I think it was all in black and white and had some guy in a wheelchair. I think he was locked up in the basement or something like that. I got nauseaus watching the video.
The music was weird too. Something electric and I don't think it had lyrics to it.
I know this is super vague, but I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me.
Just tell me any ideas you might have.
Thanks!
