    Hi Frank, I don't want to shatter your wifes bubble but I don't 
think that most people preceive a scooter as less disabled than a chair. 
Just that you are old. I do love my scooter and will miss it terribly. 
When I could use it to it's fullest it did give me more freedom than my 
new permobile will in some ways. It did a tremendous job of going places 
easily that power chairs can't. I liked the swivel seat that made 
changing position easy, instead of having to manuver the whole chair 
around at times I could just turn the seat. I also like the basket in 
the front and the tiller that I could lean on. If she uses her tricart 
to the max more power to her. Just don't overly let her pass you by in 
your chair.
                       Pandora
