Cheers BT for that, very comprehensive.
There seem to be plenty used versions available and look to be some local “companies” selling refurbished etc. When I used to work in the hospice charity shops we occasionally got one donated from a bereaved family. I remember road testing one that seemed to have an intermittent fault where it would keep cutting out and that is the fear for me. If he gets one that is too big for the boot of a car and it “breaks down” while he is out on it what do you do? Just unlock the driven wheels and push him a mile back home? :)
I plan to do a walk of his chosen routes to check exactly state of play with dropped kerbs and obstacles ( I visited him yesterday and it was wheelie bin day - there would be no chance of him getting along the pavement).
Yeah the 8mph gives me the fear!! 4mph is slightly faster than I walk normally and no one else will walk with me cos they say I walk too fast!
