A hood, for use with a wheelchair or scooter having a pair of vertical rails, a seat, and a seat back. The hood has a rear portion and a top portion hingeably connected to the rear portion with a transverse hinge. The top portion selectively extends perpendicular to the rear portion to extend over the seat for sheltering the person seated in seat, and selectively extends parallel to the rear portion so that the hood can lower behind the seat back for storage.
