Following closely on the heels of the Petalmobile Mk1.1, the short lived variation we created yesterday with a revised harness, we now present the Petalmobile Mk2.
I had suspected the rear frame should be more upright to reduce the weight on Petal’s shoulders, but her back feet also need to be lifted clear of the ground, so it’s a bit of a compromise.
Anyway, we visited the vets this morning and after talking to Joanna, this afternoon has been spent trying several variations before reaching the Mk2 version you see. The difference isn’t obvious, but it is now more upright. I need to improve the foot rest and fit new straps. If this then gets Joanna’s approval, we’ll remove the tape and use glue for the joints and neaten all the padding too. Perhaps we’ll even paint it if the news is positive at her appraisal in two weeks.
