@variablepulserate In this case the handlebar isn't long enough to reach the seat stem.

@matigo Sort of. That park is easily accessible on the big scooter I inherited from my late mother. But there is a former quarry four suburbs that's been set up as a botanic park. This one has been difficult for me but now I can carry a mobility scooter in the car, it's somewhat life-changing.
Modular mobility scooter purchased. It comes as six components, weighing just under 50 kg total, a bit under one third of that is the two 18 Ah lead-acid batteries. Those bits are shopping basket, seat, drive unit, front chassis, battery box and charger. The one the shop go in for me has orange coloured highlights.
The new commander in Iraq hears that a Scottish regiment has a specialised field hospital that's doing fantastic things with the troops. He wants to know what is so special about the place, so he arranges a tour.
When he gets to the ward, it's full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness. He's perplexed, so goes up to the first bed and greets the soldier there.
The patient replies:
"Fair fa your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin race,
Aboon them a ye take yer place,
Painch, tripe or thairm,
As langs my airm."
The general is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient.
That soldier responds:
"Some hae meat an canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat an we can eat,
So let the Lord be thankit."
Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the commander moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant:
"Wee sleekit, cowerin, timorous beasty,
O the panic in thy breasty,
Thou needna start awa sae hastie,
Wi bickering brattle."
Now seriously troubled, the general turns to the accompanying doctor and asks, "Is this a psychiatric ward?"
"No, not at all," replies the doctor. "This is the Serious Burns Unit."
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice.
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

After years of research, an investigative team finally solved the riddle of the identity of Jack the Ripper.
There were many theories, usually involving someone famous, but the reality is that Jack the Ripper was just an ordinary fellow of no other importance other than his hideous crimes. It was strictly a coincidence that he got the nickname of "Jack" because his name in fact was "John.” His full name was John Groth.
After discovering his name, the team spent many months nailing down every detail and answering every conceivable objection to their disclosure. Then they published a book about it, detailing not only their research, but more importantly, every detail they found about Groth's life and his crimes.
They titled the book The Rapes of Groth.
Unfortunately, the book was a marketplace failure, and the research team wound up with hundreds, if not thousands, of unsold copies. They put the boxes of books in the basement of a house in Napa Valley, California, owned by one of their members. Eventually, the house was sold to an order of Monks, boxes of books and all.
The monks bought not only the house, but also the adjacent vineyard; they wanted to grow grapes and make wine. They put a big vat in the basement, where they pressed the grapes the old traditional way -- with their feet.
That's right: they're trampling out the vintage where The Rapes of Groth are stored.
I've decided to remove the back seat from my car as I never use it. If I do buy a pullabitable mobility scooter, the extra space will be useful, it's by no means a big car. On the subject of mobility scooters, in late February I replaced both batteries on it, one was OK, the other was buggered. I felt it unwise to mix a new battery with a 5-year-old one, so for the last 11 months I've had a 12 volt 50Ah deep cycle lead-acid traction battery sitting around without a use.
I reckon i can use it now, today I bought a 15-litre 12-volt mini fridge-freezer that was cheap & very efficient with electricity usage. It can achieve internal temperatures of -20ºC. If I were to use it in the car, that spare battery would be a sensible way of using it.
Darth Vader: I know what you are getting for Xmas.
Luke: How is that possible?
Darth Vader: I felt your presents.
Luke: That is such a lame dad joke!
Darth Vader: It's funny that you should mention that…
