What size of electric motor can carry someone?

Question by umadbro: What size of electric motor can carry someone?
Whats the smallest motor that can probably move someone, for instance 49cc gas motor can move the bike and a person on it.

Can 1hp or 3 hp electric engine have enough power to move someone? Not on a bike necessarily


Best answer:

Answer by Samuel
Your question is to vague. Even the smallest motor could move a person if geared correctly, although very slowly.
1hp = 735watts. So if you can pick an application that needs a 1hp gas engine then an electric motor that uses approximately 735watts will be roughly equivalent. Not counting friction and resistances of coarse.

I want to take my family to Disney World. I use this electric wheelchair (scooter) and I wonder if I could take it with me. I think it would be hard for my wife to push me around the parks in a conventional wheelchair. Do the airlines take this kind of chairs? Are the buses that take you from the airport to Disney equiped to take wheelchairs?


Best answer:

Answer by webjnke1
Yes the buses at Disney are equipped for that. Disney in general is very well set up for wheelchairs. I wouldn't think the airlines would be much trouble either. Also if you stay at one of Disney hotels, a bus will take you from the hotel to the parks. We never used our car the whole 5 days we were there.

Question by snowmom: I am wondering if anyone has a simple remedy for leg and hand cramps?
I am a diabetic and also suffer from Lymphodema in the worse way, mainly my right side is groteusquely huge with edema and it hangs down below my knees. So often cramps and pain just keep me up all night and then some. I have become so unable to move around that now I use an electric wheelchair, most of the time. I'm not sure but I wonder if the inactivity is making all this cramping and pains. I really have no faith in any doctors any more too many quacks, who helped me get where I am. Sorry I'm just alittle bitter at times, I'm 53 and feel and act older than my 87 year old mother.

What should i do with my summer vacation ? ( in wheelchair )?

I usally go to school but its almost my last year for school, i was thinking about going to church but idk b/c i do not have a ride to it b/c my mom works. And my wheelchair dose not fold up so no taxi for me.

Any thing else u can think of my best friend is moving away this summer :(
it dose not go that far or else it will run out of battery.


Best answer:

Answer by Kaninchen
Hmm...it really depends on where you live. If you live in a city, then you can probably find lots to do. If you're like me and live in the middle of the boonies where if you blink you will miss the town, well...I guess you could find a cow to milk...just kidding haha! That's probably how I'll spend my summer lol

Anyway, depending on where you live, you could go to the library, the mall, anywhere really. If you want to go to church, find out if someone from the church could take you. Most of the churches that I've known of have a church van that picks people up at their houses, your local churches might, too. They are big vans, and since not a lot of people go in them, your wheelchair could probably fit. I know my cousin's does, and it's a big electric wheelchair.

You could pick up a hobby - for example, learn an instrument, try art, learn a new language, something cool like that. Pottery comes to my mind for some reason. Maybe if you live in a big enough community, you could sign up for a summer class. My brother and I do that - last year, I got my CPR/AED training and took a German class, and my brother took a pottery class and an animal science class!

Of course, you can probably just spend most of the summer on the computer, but that's no fun, is it? Haha :) If you really can't find anything to do, you could learn stuff online, too. Live Mocha is a site where you can learn some languages for free (Or sign up for a tuition course if you want to). You can learn lots of instruments online, too. Of course, you can be like me and google whatever random topic comes to your mind, and go from there! I usually spend my summer showing rabbits in my region of PA, but that's just what I like to do! :)

Hope this helps! :)

There's noting wrong with ding that, but be prepared for your jaw to drop when you see your trade value. You will be offered 3 or 4 thousand less than you paid on trade in.

Here's some free advice.

Find a leftover 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, cheapest trim you can find.

With it being a leftover and being the end of the year, the rebates are god and the dealer will take out most of their profit as well.

This will soften the blow on the trade value and even though technically you will be losing that money, you will be making it back by getting a good deal on the van. So essentially it will just be like you paid retail for the van.

Can a process server intimidate and threaten to arrest when a subpoena was never served?

Question by Jameela A: Can a process server intimidate and threaten to arrest when a subpoena was never served?
I know the following may be considered legal advice but I need someone to please answer as best as they can. or to your best knowledge.

My cousin was murdered and I am being called to testify for her killer's defense as a character witness against her. The defense attorney kept constantly calling me for the past 2 years and I never answer the phone. He recently called and said a judge signed a subpoena in my name and I would be served in a few days. He called me the night before the trial that I need to show up in court the next morning or he'd ask for an arrest warrant.

I am disabled and wheelchair bound and and I have extreme psychiatric (anxiety) problems. Seriously when I freak out I rip my clothes off and run (sometimes into walls). I get very irrational. Nonetheless I don't have transportation to accommodate my 350lb electric wheelchair. I am 400 lbs and paralyzed on my right side. Anyways I told him I couldn't attend and would not because I was never served. He refused to tell me WHEN he would. The next morning I received a call by someone that said they were a Deputy Sheriff from that county saying the judge had just signed an arrest warrant and he was coming to get me but he wanted to hear my side of the story. He said the lawyer had proof I was served. I told him my story freaking out and sent my documentation and a letter for the judge (the number he gave me) saying I had yet to be served.

He said he was gonna speak to the judge on my behalf to convince him to drop the warrant. He told me he was "informing me" that I am being given until Wednesday to appear and I better show up. I ended up in the hospital yet again.

My personal nurse noted the Deputy called from a number not listed in the court directories, but the only way to contact him was the court itself calling him physically and he'd take over from that phone. Over the weekend she redialed the number he called me from and his voice-mail said he was a deputy process server.

My question is...
1. Can he really come arrest me? (I was never served)
2. Could he be a real Deputy? (my county says they never administrate anymore process server and they would have to be privately hired)
3. Since he said the attorney told the judge he had proof I was served even tho I never was, can the judge really issue an arrest warrant?
4. Is this harassment? If so, can I report them to adult protective services or check with police if what is happening true or not?

Ive been having severe anxiety over this and been hospitalized 2 times in the last two weeks (had to be restrained). Can I get arrested if I freak out in court?

I have yet to be subpoenaed. This is taking a toll on my health and I feel like the stress is going to make me severely ill.


Best answer:

Answer by The Great Quizoo
If a judge signed an arrest warrant, they can and probably wil arrest you. That's what arrest warrants do. The judge will only issue such a warran if he has a sworn affidavit from the process server that you were legally served.

You do NOT have the option of appearing or not appearing. If you wish the subpoena quashed, you have to get a lawyer who will appear before the judge to argue your case.

In other words: YOU NEED A LAWYER.

has anyone carry on electric guitar on eva air and united air?

Question by lynn: has anyone carry on electric guitar on eva air and united air?
I will be carry on my standard electric guitar from KUL(malaysia) - Las Vegas (EVA Air)
Connecting flight from san francisco to las Vegas.
I've called the airlines but they are not sure. So I am asking anyone who had experience on bringing their electric guitar on board, thank you.


Best answer:

Answer by mccoyblues
I hate to give you bad news but you are at the mercy of the gate agents and the airline personnel on the ground at the time of your flight. If you get an understanding agent you'll be fine, but if you run into someone who confronts you be prepared to get turned away at the gate.

Technically speaking musical instruments are allowed to be carried onboard but that doesn't always work out, especially with very crowded airplanes when cabin space is at a premium.

There is one option if they stop you at the gate. Ask them to "gate check" the guitar. What that means is the guitar is taken from the boarding gate directly to the plane's cargo space. Avoiding all of the baggage check personnel and machinery. When you reach your destination your guitar will be the first item off the plane and it is then delivered directly back to the gate for you to pick up.

This process is very similar to how they handle wheelchairs and child carriers.

Will Medicare ever pay for a second electric wheelchair?

Question by Betsy: Will Medicare ever pay for a second electric wheelchair?
I had one that was paid for by insurance in 1997 or 98. I only used it off and on but eventually it got so beat up I just got rid of it. I think another bad spell is on it's way but I'm not sure if Medicare would pay for another.


Best answer:

Answer by Wanna-Be Baby Mama
Medicare considers the lifespan of a power wheelchair 5 years. Therfore, they would cover one for you now. But, standards are much much higher than they were 10 years ago. There are TONS of things the doctor has to address, in a visit you have with him for a chair. The doctor used to just have to write a script and letter and that would be fine. Medicare basically wants you to be unable to walk at all, which the doctor would have to state in his medical records. Although, there are still suppliers out there that will fraudulently file for a power wheelchair without having the correct documentation. In turn, those types of suppliers are reposessing these wheelchairs when they get audited by Medicare, leaving you empty-handed. Just beware. If you visit your doctor and get your chair within a couple of days, I would be a little weary. Good luck!

what would be the best thing to put on a wooden electric wheelchair lamp that gets really slick when it rains?

Question by alfa male: what would be the best thing to put on a wooden electric wheelchair lamp that gets really slick when it rains?
it is a pretty steep ramp, and gets real slick when any moisture gets on it. It is something im doing for free for my 90 year old neighbor so price is a issue
and that is a wheel chair RAMP not lamp lol
Delhoote that is a great idea if it can be mixed and spread like they say i cant imagine why it wouldnt last years. and yea tom all the chain stores could recommend is about 100bucks worth of junk grip tape, and the chicken wire would be like a bobsled track in the winter here in indiana lol. thanks guys
I actually considered that yesterday Karen but was not sure how it would work...thanks

Answer by William B

Would you girls date a guy in a wheelchair?

Question by : Would you girls date a guy in a wheelchair?
Im curious if girls would even date a guy in a wheelchair. Honest answers please.
I'm sweet and kind
I'm 15 yrs old
I'm in an electric wheelchair because I have a muscle disease.
Girls have told me I'm cute
I have above average intelligence
I'm really shy


Best answer:

Answer by Holly
Be more open and outgoing, it will help people relax around you more. It's hard to not be shy, but people often feel like they don't know how to approach someone who is in a wheelchair.
And for the record, my boss and her husband have been happily married for 20 years and he has been wheelchairbound since they met for the same reason. Love is love, and will be able to look over any faults.
