Also you need to keep your seating position LOW for stability reasons in use. Esp with lighter lithium batts if you ever go that way. Otherwise well done! That seat lift tilt module costs the same as the full chair.

I have this on one of my wheelchairs. It works great!

RE: Powered center footplates - Can you get a footplate that can run up/down on a Z-axis? so when you raise it up, your knees come up? I could use that, for sure. I can't have it extend outward due to atrophy

Footplate just rises. And so do my knees... And it goes to floor too. ONLY up or down. Also can change angle should I want.

Its just embarassing with the passing fire service stopping to rescue me from my own stupidity. Or being laid in the wet road for an hour as I forgot my phone the last time... I wheelied it as you do, and it turned on its side and crashed down. It actually doesent really hurn.
