The seat parts (24 and 25) are movable between inoperative positions in which a seated person can take hold of the hand support(s) and raise himself to a standing or substantially standing position on the footplate or foot rests and operative behind the seat of the person when standing so that the person can be supported by the seat parts with his feet on the footplate or foot rests and his knees against the knee abutment.
