A plastic garden chair with the legs cut off works as a seat. Two electric motors that sit behind the seat by the rear wheels drive the \u2018car\u2019. A joystick operates as accelerator and brake. The \u2018car&#8217; is steered with a long folding lever that sits on the front axle. The motors and joystick are taken from an electric wheelchair. Two car batteries sit at the back.<\/p>\n<p>The steering lever folds forward to allow transfers so it does not get in the way for the user\u2019s legs. The user sits on a wheelchair cushion. She uses foam rubber as padding at the sides and feet.<\/p>\n<p>The user transfers from the wheelchair to the go-cart with an electric winch, see associated tip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user enjoys gardening, she used to do so while sitting in the wheelchair but her stomach hurt from bending down all the time. Her husband designed the go-cart for this purpose. She has had it for 14 years and uses it often to trim and weed the flower beds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tilv\"><strong>Made by<\/strong><br \/>\nUser&#8217;s husband<\/p>\n<p class=\"Bekostad\"><strong>Paid for by<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user<\/p>\n<p class=\"idea\"><strong>Whose idea<\/strong><br \/>\nUser&#8217;s husband<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/1148_63_bil2_600.jpg\" alt=\"Go-cart with electric motor, steering lever folded forward\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Go-cart with electric motor, steering lever folded forward<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/1148_63_bil3_600.jpg\" alt=\"Go-cart with cushion and foam rubber padding\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Go-cart with cushion and foam rubber padding<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 529px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/1148_63_bil4_600.jpg\" alt=\"Electric motors and car batteries on go-cart\" width=\"519\" height=\"600\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Electric motors and car batteries on go-cart<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2013 facilitates gardening for wheelchair users<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":52797,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[367,447],"tags":[465],"class_list":["post-3148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-about-garden-67","category-tips-about-gardening-147","tag-authors_v6","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/1148_63_bil1_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3148"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253797,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3148\/revisions\/253797"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
