Ah yes, the same system I use. It's called the pilot system. Except its

splet 'the pile it system.'

Uh huh. My folks have a wheelchair lift in the garage that my dad uses to

get in and out of the house. The lift-gate is at a sufficiently steep angle

that the 'safety wheels' on the very back of the scooter lift the drive

wheels off the ground when driving onto the lift from ground level.

Consequently, my dad has to charge onto the lift at full throttle then

stop immediately. He's pretty good at it. But once he forgot to turn

down the speed befor exiting at the top. Did you know that a motorized

scotter can bash a very big hole right through plasterboard?

That's a great idea! My dad and I have been trying to find a comfortable,

functional chair he could use when sitting at his PC. I was beginning to

think I'd have to make one from scratch.

Or as I have sometimes said
