Abstract

A carriage has a plurality of ground engageable wheels (206) mounted on a body (200), and a pair of driving wheels (233, 234) independently drivable by drive motors (226, 227). The driving wheels (233, 234) are movably mounted on a chassis (214) so that they can occupy a first position clear of the ground to enable the carriage to be driven over the ground. The carriage may include a seat (210) which can be elevated and tipped forwardly by motor driven actuators (273), (266) to enable the height of the seat (210) to be adjusted and to assist a user to move from the seat (210) into a standing position.
