4. BACKGROUND OF INVENTIONMachine Element or Mechanism/Multiple Levers (74/43)—The inventor came up with the idea to attach a motorized jack to the seat of personal ambulatory scooters after having trouble accessing hard-to-reach areas in his garden. This motorized seat jack mechanism will offer riders vertical mobility in addition to their current distance mobility. John A. Anthony realized a scooter that could better mimic the movements of the human body would be more beneficial to those challenged with limited mobility.
5. BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTIONThe multiple lever mechanism improves conventional ambulatory scooters by lifting and lowering their seat to give riders vertical maneuverability while in a stationary position. Current personal scooters on the market cause great discomfort to riders attempting to reach areas above or below them.
