Question
My husband raised an interesting question and we would like some more insite if possible. Why have they not come out with an electric chair that would possibly have a hydrolic lift so that a wheel chair victim could be lifted up to reach items over head. We will await your answer and thank you for your most valuable time.

Sincerely, J Watkins

Answer
Hello and thanks for writing,

I'm not an engineer but I'd guess it would be a matter of physics.The wheelbase would probably have to be so wide to make it tip-proof that it would be impossible to build one that could fit through doors. You could have one custom-built (at great expense no doubt) if you really wanted one I guess.

Hope this helps,
Margot
