  1. The Jack is now under new management. Hot and cold food available. Kids aloud in till 9pm Thursday: Bingo from 7pm Friday: Disco from 7pm Sunday: Disco & karaoke from 4pm
  2. Here's a video showing the alarm system fitted to my wheelchair. It doesn't affect how the wheelchair works or anything. Just wires direct to the battery
  3. Totally agree. About 10 year ago my wheelchair was stolen from my sisters house when I was rushed to hospital in an ambulance. Members of this forum went out looming for it and found it on a back garden smashed up. After that I've always felt safer after having an alarm fitted. Edit: Found the old thread from when mine was stolen. Members of this forum were amazing http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=464074&highlight=wheelchair+stolen
  4. Ash. Datatool are already planning something exactly how you said. It will also send a notification to your phone to say your scooter/wheelchair has been tampered with. If the mobility aid is plugged in on charge and someone unplugs it to nick it, it also triggers tge alarm
  5. True but if you were in a shop and your alarm goes off I think you'd notice. The alarm on mine even goes off if they try nick the batteries
  6. I'm thinking of offering a service of fitting alarms to mobility aids for people. I would only charge the price of the alarm and a donation to charity. Trying to find out if people would be interested
  7. Unfortunately more and more scooters are getting nicked. The batteries are expensive and it's so easy to steal. The keys used can be turned with any thing you can insert in. I'm currently working with CareCo Mobility and datatool to come up with an alarm that would help keep scooters safe. I've had my wheelchair stolen years ago and the police told the papers they found it. What they didn't say was it was actually residents in high green and members of this forum that were out searching for it that found it
  8. Hi everyone. Grenoside Crematorium has been taken over by another company. They have left a note at the entrance saying all grave decorations/gifts need removing asap or anything left will be scrapped.
  9. Careco are now looking at fitting an alarm system to their scooters as standard
  10. Today we found a cake outside our door and when we opened the door, we saw 2 young ladies walking down the road with Coop jackets on. I googled the number for our local coop and was told they are giving local residents a free cake. I've posted on facebook asking if anyone else has received one and I've just been told the coop is closed Dow. Am I been pranked?
  11. I use these guys. Really friendly and they can cut you any shape. I send them a paper template of what I want and they do a perfect copy. http://modelshop.co.uk/
  12. Yes I've spoke to John before. He has actually made his wheelchair radio controlled lol
  13. People are surprised when they find out that the wheelchair is my daily ride lol. I have to think about what mods going to do that don't hinder how it works. Also have to keep the weight down as the hoist in my car can only lift 100kg and standard it's 85kg lol
  14. Hi everyone. Some of you may remember that years ago my wheelchair was stolen and members from on here chipped in to get it all repaired etc. Since then the wheelchair now has even more mods and now that it stands now I take it to car shows throughout the UK to display it and raise money for charity. I thought I'd update you all so you can see how far it has come since. To expand the project CareCo Mobility contacted me and offered to give me a brand new scooter to see what I could do with it. As soon as it arrived I stripped it down and sent the panels off for a custom paint job. It now has 7 inch led light bar on the front and I've had the seat modified. As I wanted it to be different to the wheelchair I spent ages thinking of a big mod I could have done to it. I eventually decided to turn it into a lowrider to make it stand out. As air suspension would add too much weight I've used linear actuators on each wheel so I can raise and lower the height independently. It can lift a wheel off the ground by 1ft even with someone sat on it. Both the wheelchair and scooter have a top of the range alarm system to protect them, as I've had someone try and steal it again since. Here's a video showing it working. The more they both stand out, the more I can raise for charity. Here's a video if some lighting fitted to it. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=749621348525153&id=439468002873824 What you think sofar?
