Technically, MC Hawking IS a wheelchair, you might just need to disconnect a few peripherals to make it comfortable enough to work. Also, definitely not the safest option....the IMPORTANT! <https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noise-Bot#Videos> section on the Noisebridge Wiki is rather amusing on the subject. I wouldn't recommend it unless your friend is durable and hack-inclined. On 11/29/2013 10:55 PM, Hol Gaskill wrote:

For about $100 a week you can rent an electric mobility scooter. A hospital style rental manual chair will be nearly as much money to rent, around $10 a day, and will be super heavy to push and hard to get around in, unless you have a car and someone with you to fold it up and put it in the car. It can work out ok with taxis too if you get someone else to hail the taxis for you (they will rarely stop for a wheelchair user) and want to just go around in museums and stuff. You can also usually borrow manual chairs in museums and zoos. You can google "mobility scooter rental" or wheelchair rental for your location and you'll come up with many options! Usually these places will deliver a wheelchair or scooter to your location and pick it up again. I've found this very useful while traveling when I don't want to risk breaking my own scooter in an airplane cargo hold. http://locations.scootaround.com/rentals/s/sanfrancisco/ - lizzard On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 10:55 PM, Hol Gaskill &lt;hol(a)gaskill.com&gt; wrote: -- Liz Henry lizhenry(a)gmail.com "Electric ladies will you sleep or will you preach?" -- Janelle Monae "Without models, it's hard to work; without a context, difficult to evaluate; without peers, nearly impossible to speak." -- Joanna Russ
