Mobility Scooters – Mobility Nation UK

The latest upgraded model in the Explorer 4 mobility scooter range is now available with improved seat comfort including seat sliding adjustment & improved acceleration and braking characteristics.

Navigating narrow corridors or confined areas used to be a challenge for those people restricted to wheelchairs. Now there are a variety of  power chairs that provide improved mobility and allow people more independence. One of the main advantages is an increased turning radius.

Thanks to recent innovations, there are now multiple sets of wheels that allow for cornering in close quarters. There are also several speed options to allow you more versatility in your traveling. These new and improved units are sure to be just the first step in revolutionizing power chair and wheelchair technology for future generations.

A quick round up of what’s going on web wise in the world of mobility scooters. Ill Informed Moaning As ever the world wide web is a hot bed of people whinging about scooters, first up The Daily Gripe with a moan about reckless drivers. The article is pretty tame; the usual stuff about how it would be better if people were more considerate, but as usual the comments display typical ignorance of the difference between the classes of scooter and the laws that apply. There is nothing wrong with being ignorant of these things, but if you are PLEASE don’t start spouting off on a public forum, it just makes you look silly… An article in the Yorkshire Star might conjure up some sympathy one would think, but no apparently not. A pick of the comments include: “she will know how the young child feels like who was run down last week by an OAP on a scooter there are not safe for OAP or CHILD” “I bet she was on the road without her lights on.” I dread to think what was in the posts that were removed by the moderator! New Products MNFSA have a good review of the new scooter in the NHC Freerider range, the Freerider Aviator. The Aviator is an eight mile an hour scooter from Heartway that looks set be a bit of a hit. On HubPages there is another review, this time of the Pride Colt XL8 . The XL8 is the new top of the range of the Colt family and apparently they are flying out the door at the Pride dealers. The versitility and sporty styling is clearly striking a chord with the buying public. And Finally… A woman in New Zeland is still witing for an apology from McDonald’s after the restaurant refused to serve her at the drive through window as she was on a mobility scooter. The woman claims that she was unable to get her scooter through the doors and was forced to use the drive through window. McDonald’s have apparently invited her to discuss the matter but she claims that on the two occasions she has visited the restaurant the have claimed to be too busy to talk.

Now this is a strange one. The Strider ST2 is specced almost identically to the ST1, but offers a shorter range of a paltry 6.4 miles per charge. This may be a typo, our unusual honesty about range, but untill I can test it out I can’t say, all I can say is for an extra £30-£40 pouns you seem to get an under powered ST1. Go figure.

The Strider ST2 retails between £450 and £550.
