Default Speeding up a stairlift

Every old person I know with a stairlift is ****ed off at how slow they go. Does anyone have experience of making these things go a bit faster? I mean picture an old person trying to get downstairs to answer the doorbell, shouting "just a minute!" or more precisely "just an hour!"

I know they don't want to be going so fast as they'd fall off, but the things have ****ing seatbelts on them anyway! There'd be no harm in making them go walking speed, with a gradual start.

A 'GT' model would certainly be useful to many people I know. At least
they'd then have a fighting chance of getting to the top of the stairs
before they forget what they've gone up there for.

Except in the UK, those pigs would have locked her up for speeding across a public highway. Did you know they actually go after old people going 8mph on the pavement on mobility scooters? Apparently you can only go 4mph on the pavement, with an 8mph (like that's really really fast) scooter you must use the road, while trying to avoid 30mph cars.

Even simpler. Replace the 12 volt battery on it with a 24 volt - and
replace the charger as well. They virtually ALL run on the battery.
With a 24 volt system you might need a speed control unit as well.

No, but I can exceed 8mph running, as can most people. Our laws are beyond a joke.

Mind you, we don't have "jaywalking".

While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account of a €ťgod gene€ś that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly organize their lives around ancient works of religious fiction must explain why so many inhabitants of other First World societies apparently lack such a gene. The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity. Countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations Human Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality. Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in
terms of human development are unwaveringly religious.

So this 12 volt motor wouldn't care it was giving out way more power than it was designed to? That did actually work with a radio controlled car I had as a kid, but it was a top of the range motor. The original burned out (on the correct voltage) just because it got bogged down in long grass. I don't think an old person wants to be sat in a chair that's on fire halfway up the stairs.

Every old person I know with a stairlift is ****ed off at how slow they
go. Does anyone have experience of making these things go a bit
faster? I mean picture an old person trying to get downstairs to answer
the doorbell, shouting "just a minute!" or more precisely "just an hour!"

I know they don't want to be going so fast as they'd fall off, but the
things have ****ing seatbelts on them anyway! There'd be no harm in
making them go walking speed, with a gradual start.

They speeded one up in the film Gremlins. It didn't end well.


There's a happy medium. You wouldn't buy a mobility scooter that was slower than walking speed.

If you are trying to use the bathroom on a different floor you could wet
yourself by the time you travel one flight of stairs. I think one or two miles
per hour is a reasonable speed to expect from a chairlift.

Default Speeding up a stairlift

replying to Jimmy Wilkinson Knife, Goslow wrote:
The configuration of the rail for a curved stairlift is key. The first
Ascending string has to be long enough to reach the first landing In one piece
and the same applies to the descending one to the first landing then it
requires just one curved piece to join the two. The seat shouldnt tip over
the stairs which feels quite alarming. Lazy installers looking to save money
will just use a standard length rail and just add pieces of rail to fit which
slows down the seat if not stop It altogether at each intersection making the
ride excruciatingly slow.
