Hello everyone, Just joined up as I have got the urge to get myself a wee Rascal, looking forward to browsing the website. Was wandering if someone could answer me a quick question, whats the distance between the steering wheel and the back rest of the drivers seat in its furthest back position? I ask because I'm a rather rotund fellow and hoping I can fit behind the wheel  Thanks  |

Hi, welcome to the group. There's not much adjustment on the seat, I've been and measured the Bambi (based on the pickup so don't know how different to the van), there's 18" between the steering wheel and the back of the seat, hope this is some help to you.

Thank you for the warm welcome Hi, welcome to the group. There's not much adjustment on the seat, I've been and measured the Bambi (based on the pickup so don't know how different to the van), there's 18" between the steering wheel and the back of the seat, hope this is some help to you.

Van seats ARE adjustable, and fully recline, but as said, the seats in bambi's & pickups don't |

hi,
no adjustment on the pickup seats but my hubby manages ok, he is six three so his knees sit about the height of the steering wheel but he drives without any real problem.
