Things to note. It looks clean and low use. Thats good.
It appears to gave a 10A charger. I have one of those. They have the right voltages for AGM batteries, But they stay at CV for far too short a time. So your green light comes on LONG before it us fully charged. When the green comes on it goes to 27.2V float. So it will be approx 24 hours to a complete charge. So leave it on when you get it for 2 days or longer to desufate the battery. As far as it is possible. And allow it to remain on and plugged in as long as you can in daily use.

Its seat is flat. 0 degrees. You will find if you are a normal human that its way more comfortable with it adjusted to give around 5 to 7 degrees of dump. Thats the front edge higher than the rear.

Its seat is like every rear drive powechair sat way too far forwards. Putting far too much weight over the front casters which means your steering will be abysmal and the chair feels very long indoors. Because your bum/body is a long way ahead of the drive wheels that steer it. Moving the seat back a few inches will make all the difference. It will result in a shorter overall chair that eats less batteries and feels light and easy to steer. It also means that you wont lose traction or lift a rear wheel on uneven ground as the majority of the weight will sit over the drive wheels. The only issue is that you might find it hard to do because thats why I always use or fit or make a centre footplate. This can allow your heels to sit slightly further back between the casters without hitting. Allowing the seat to move back. And at the same time removing the "corners" on the chair that allows better indoor ability to miss furniture and to turn into doorays etc.

When I started to go bald I just shaved the lot off. As an ex biker I was always no1 anyway so no real difference. You get more vitamin D that way too!

When 16 Yellow FS1E DX in 76, longest summer ever. Many crashes. Learned how to ride! And how far you could lean before the inevitable over and over! Before that field bikes, wrecked 125 motocroser and various mopeds!

When 17, KH 250, KH 400, Z1000, and onwards to bigger 1100cc 16 valve suzukis. By 33year old a rayjay turbo GSX 1100E and 2 bar boost, with 190 tyre on 6 inch rim, 320mm discs, and 3 inch over swing arm, around 300 rear wheel hp, plus nitrous, and that thing went fast. 1200 suzuki bandit, GSXR1100WP with nitrous and a lot of power for track days! Although I didnt much like that bike. And many fast stuff in between. This: https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model ... 0%2093.htm 156BHP as stock in 93... Bikes have not really changed much since this.

Ended with broken neck, and back at T4 with complete paralysis, all ribs back and front and right femor broken now rebuilt and pinned, collapsed lungs, chest full of blood, 6 weeks in a coma, 12 months in hospital and still broken! All part of the fun. I knew what I was doing, my risk. My error. Would do it all again! But stayin bed on 27th july in 97...

I always wanted to try an 750 turbo kawasaki. A freind used to drag race one with a lot of extra boost. He had a shed full of melted pistons. Went well.
