When the Queen assumes ownership of Solara Motorbikes will she begin making electric scooter chairs?

I heard she was so embarrassed by the quality of motorbikes after test driving one that she has decided to change the direction of the company and make geriatric electric scooter chairs. I also heard she was going to hire Hilda Ogden as the company spokesperson. Is this true?
I would like to use them in my scooter chair jousting competition I’m trying to get a royal charter for.
You hear the strangest things. Please give us the link to all of these rumours so that we may evaluate them. The Queen is NOT, of course going to assume control of a company that is fiction.
I also heard this rumor but am uncertain of its veracity. Of course any company would be wise to hire the inimitable Hilda Ogden as the company spokesperson. She is charming, witty, and lovely. She and the Wonder Cat could rule the world!
Given the percentage of the population rapidly approaching the age where electric scooter chairs are going to be a necessity, yes, one hopes that the Queen does start making the scooters instead of motorbikes. That product line would be especially profitable if SOMEONE had the influence to make sure that National Health would pay for all/part of the scooters for the elderly/handicapped who need them.
One wonders if there is any law that prohibits the Queen from influencing the National Health nabobs. Doubtless other more knowledgable members like Dark Side or Paco would have the answer to that issue.
It has been the history of famous automakers and cycle makers to continue, though, to devote some resources to building and sponsoring racing models. Even the stodgiest old companies seem unable to resist devoting the funds to a small corner of the company…where dreamers and visionaries are allowed funds and facilities to build shiny, cleverly designed, fast motor demon machines. This should continue as most of the innovations and successes of the motor industry were developed by the "racing team", and modified for general use vehicles.
Hilda Ogden would be an excellent spokesperson for the scooter end of the business, and one quite hopes that the Wonder Cat (good name for the new bike, too) will be able to spend his time with the racing team. He, too, is embarrassed by how shoddy the bikes have been and it is his most cherished dream to have the company join the ranks of excellence in the Winner’s Circle.
If she does change the direction of the company and begin making electric scooter chairs then her decision should be applauded, particularly if they are of good quality and are also affordable. Many people do not even have access to wheelchairs and electric scooter chairs would give people a degree of independence and mobility that they currently lack.
An electric scooter chair that carries the Royal Warrant – is "By Appointment to the Queen" would be a top of the range product. One only hopes that it will not be priced out of the average persons reach.
A much better thought than the other rumour about a Balmoral Quad Bike! That market is already saturated.
Not likely as they would be quicker than the pre-takeover Solara bikes and kill the secondhand market.
