Mobility Scooter Sighting 04 - Birmingham Art Gallery & Museum, Birmingham
This friendly rider spoke with a high pitched voice, and he asked me if I was lost, I said yes ( I wasn't really) and we got chatting amiably. Perhaps if he wasn't riding lounge style in a relaxed open body language posture but instead hobbling on sticks with his face aimed downward he wouldn't have had the opportunity to have a chat with a passing stranger. Notice the takeaway wrappers between his feet, I wonder if he's been enjoying a kebab on the go? He has borrowed it from the Birmingham shopmobility scheme, the sign on the basket reads 'Your logo could be here', inviting sponsorship from advertisers, would adidas or Nike be interested in such premium ad space I wonder? No doubt the Birmingham city council coffers are rattling a bit so they're trying to make up some extra revenue somewhere - perhaps this is not the best use of ad space out there? But good on the council for enabling the infirm to enjoy the pleasures of Birmingham city centre, whereas without the council he would simply be UNjoying the pleasures of the four walls of his old people's rest home. But notice his fisherman's waistcoat, does this mean he enjoys a spot of canalside fishing whilst in the seated position?
The model he is enjoying is none other than the magical Auriga from Invacare, who are based near Cleveland, Ohio, admire the modern fascia and modest bumper for those supermarket rages, the seemingly low centre of gravity drips confidence into the lowest of esteems - bigger riders will have no worries about toppling this beauty, the wheels placed at the ends of the chassis add to the balance this model delivers. The ergonomics are fine if a little boxy and that carpet tread looks like it could hide a fare amount of dog poo too. the side indicator is a nice touch along with the unisex shopping basket, all in all a smart effort for a lower end of the market model.
