Extreme Journeys Lazy Chair
I got the idea to build a motorized armchair when Mum and Dad bought new furniture for the living room. Dad got really bad-tempered when he was moving the heavy, old furniture. He said,“Armchairs should have wheels, then they could drive away by themselves.” So I suggested that we give it some wheels. This is what we came up with:
1. We got the wheels from an old wheelchair.
2. We used the engne from my brother’s old bicycle.
3. Dad said we had to think about safety, too. So we fitted two headlights-one on each arm-and a
sea belt from an old car.
4. I said we also had to think about fun: so we added a stereo system and a cup holder for cups
of soda, like you see in movie theatres.
5. The armchair is made of boring black leather, so I decided to decorated it . I painted the logo
of my favorite band on one side. And a picture of sloths(懒猴) on the other side, because they’re really lazy and this is the laziest armchair ever!
Dad tested the chair in our backyard. It’s quite fast. I can travel at up to 25 kilometres an hour! I can’t wait to take it on an extreme journey. But Dad says I have to wait until I’m old enough to get a driver’s license. Oh, well, not long now……
