No peg-legged, hook-handed, eye-patched pirate captains?

I put together this minifig scale wheelchair to test the ramps.

playability is lost if you take him out of it (the chair falls in half).

First of all, for the current design, I notice that you have the wheels mounted
via a pair of 1x2 Technic bricks with two holes. If you put a #2 pin in the
other set of holes, it should be stable when not in use. Second, if you’re
trying to go smaller, you might want to switch to using this part:
Not only will it hold the two halves together, but it will also reduce the
height of the seat.
That aside, I think it’s a cool little MOC. While the main wheels should
probably be smaller in relation to the minifig, the use of rubber bands around
the wheels as the hard tires more than excuses the scale difference. Maybe you
could design a little “motorized” version for minifigs with cerebral palsy.
