Graphic titled "It's not as simple as "mobility aid users weight more so they need to go slower for safety" has, with drawings of each example, top row, average 11 year old using manual chair with power attachment: 59kg. Average man: 85kg. Average woman with laden cargo cycle: 243kg. Average woman: 72kg. Small woman using lightweight class 3 scooter: 72kg. Large man with double buggy: 165kg. Small woman using standing wheelchair: 231kg.
