Rig up a tiller steering device (one handle) on your Gator and 4-wheeler.  That should make them steerable with one hand.  The scooter looks like it could be dangerous outdoors.  You might fall and can't get up!

I think we would all be happy to trade our bodies for younger and healthier versions!  I can still get around well at 65 (when I'm not breaking my heel and things like that)!  But like you pointed out, it takes me a lot longer to get around as much as it used to!

I applaud you for getting out there anyway despite your handicap!  You got the right attitude, that's for sure!  Congratulations on that!  Clapp  Take care of yourself, my friend!

And again, congratulations to your sister!  Way To Go, girl!!            Detecting

Thanks ArfieBoy,thats a good idea,  I will look into that, I got a Son In law that builds race cars and owns a welding shop etc, maybe i can get him to come up with a one handle - tiller steering device , though most of the time his "inventions" are way more complicated than they have to be. so not sure how that will turn out.

if he creates something that will work ,Ill take pics and post here.

That's cool!  I look forward to seeing if and what he comes up with.   

By the way, second thought...  How about a "suicide knob" on the steering wheels of the Gator and 4-wheeler.  That should make them one-hand steering, too!  They were used a lot back in the 50's and early 60's, but have been illegal in Oregon here since about the early 60's.  At least on cars and trucks and regular road vehicles with steering wheels.   Might work on your Gator!              Detecting

the gator is what I usually use, and can pretty much drive it and swing the gator at the same time but the knob may be a good option there as well
