The only time you’re required by law to wear a seat belt while on a mobility scooter is when you’re taking it on the road.
The Quingo team fully understand the potential implications that Alzheimer’s may bring to mobility scooter users.
This blogpost aims to offer advice and information for both sufferers and their carers in order that sufferers can continue to use their mobility scooter safely and with confidence for as long as possible.
Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease affects almost 500,000 people in the UK. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s include impaired thought, impaired speech, and confusion. The exact cause of the disease is unknown and work is on-going by numerous charities to help find a treatment and a cure.
The Quingo team are always encouraging users to get out and about and visit interesting or unusual places on their mobility scooters.
We recently received a letter from John Allen telling us about his experience out and about on his Quingo Flyte in the Yorkshire Dales.
John’s letter read:
“I’ve recently come back from a holiday in the Dales and enclose some photos of the Quingo Flyte in action.
The first one is the Pennine Way down to Malham Cove.
The Quingo team would like to share a story about Mr Kenneth Robinson from Carlisle who had his prized mobility scooter stolen from outside his flat.
Mobility scooters are incredibly important to people like Mr Robinson who have limited mobility, as it grants them the freedom and independence to get around. When Mr Robinson’s mobility scooter was stolen, it left him a prisoner in his own home.
The Quingo team would like to share the feedback of a former pilot who recently took ownership of a brand new Quingo Air 2, and was so pleased he decided to tell us about his experience.
Mr Watson used to fly Vulcan planes and was hoping to visit an airshow locally to say farewell to the soon-to-be retired aircraft. The Quingo team loaned Mr Watson a brand new Air 2 so he could attend the event and say goodbye.
