Forever Active, Quingo UK distributor - Ten out of Ten! – Quingo Customers Rate Their Demonstrations

Choosing a mobility scooter is an important and very personal decision, the choice can be overwhelming. How can you make sure you’re getting the right one for your specific needs? Would you be better with a compact, lightweight scooter, a long range deluxe model or any of the other models in between? There are many questions but that is why we are here to help. 



Quingo recognises that the key to making the right decision is to try them for yourself. It’s also the best way to appreciate all the unique features that make Quingo so different from standard three or four wheel scooters. Part of that demonstration process is a free Blue Diamond Driver Test that ensures you are both safe and able to use a scooter. In addition, we ensure you have all the information clearly presented and allow plenty of time for you to consider the options in a pressure-free environment. 

Providing you pass the Blue Diamond Safety Assessment, our team of friendly advisers will then guide you through a test drive on your roads and pavements and evaluate charging and storage options. They will also demonstrate all the scooter’s unique features and make sure you are able to operate it in safety and enjoy optimum comfort. 

Thousands of people have taken these assessments over the years and in more than 5000 completed surveys, these demonstrations have consistently averaged nine out of a possible ten. The feedback has been extremely positive… 

Mrs Williamson of South Yorkshire said:  



Mrs Kirman of Nottinghamshire appreciated having the demonstration in the places she visits regularly:




Mr Edghill of West Yorkshire commented on how the advisor who visited him had all the information he needed to make an informed decision:

Forever Active, Quingo UK distributor - “Pleasant, knowledgeable and considerate!”

Although we highly value the continuous flow of feedback from our many customer satisfaction surveys, we also appreciate the many lovely letters we receive directly from customers who take the trouble to write in. 

This is particularly gratifying as we know our staff take a lot of time and make a lot of effort to ensure that they understand each customer’s needs and only then help them to select the product is precisely right for them and their particular circumstances.

Our office recently received just such a letter from Mr and Mrs Lavery of Lancashire who got in touch to tell us how delighted they are with their new 5 wheel Quingo Vitess and its range of unique features. In their words ‘No other scooter can compare’.



Quingo Vitess

We very much appreciate the time Mr & Mrs Lavery have taken to write and for their glowing feedback on all our staff, from the team organising the free assessment and demonstrations to the delivery team who provide our set up service and offer training and advice.

Their kind words below:

“From: Mr & Mrs Lavery

We have recently purchased a Quingo Vitess and are delighted with it, no other scooter can compare with it. However the purpose of this email is to highlight the total professionalism of your company. From our first contact with the young lady who organised our demonstration to final delivery the whole process was flawless.

Your salesman Bill Lawton was a consummate professional. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and considerate. He was not pushy or forceful but very capable, and as he showed on the test run very fit! He was a pleasure to do business with.

Paul Shepherd who delivered the scooter continued the same quality of service we had come to expect. Nothing was a trouble to him and his teaching style was excellent.

Congratulations to them all.

Yours Ken and Linda”

Forever Active, Quingo UK distributor - “Comfortable, competent and a joy to ride.”

Lt. Colonel Paterson takes delivery of his compact, transportable Quingo Air


We received an incredibly touching letter from Lt Colonel Howard C. Paterson of Peebleshire this week, who wrote to us after taking delivery of his brand new Quingo Air

Lt. Colonel Paterson, who suffers from chronic sciatica, an agonising spinal condition, noted how impressed he was with the Quingo Air’s ability to tackle the demanding surfaces and gradients of his garden and the nearby village that similar mobility scooters have been unable to handle comfortably. 

Lt. Colonel Paterson also stated how compact and transportable he found his new Quingo Air, having searched for a mobility scooter he could conveniently transport in the boot of his car and easily assemble on arrival at his destination. 

Furthermore, Lt. Colonel Paterson, having had demonstrations of similar mobility scooters many times before expressed his view that the Quingo Air “is by far the best I have ever tried” and that he would “without hesitation, recommend it to anyone who requires a small but robust scooter which is comfortable, competent and a joy to ride.” 

Thank you to Lt. Colonel Paterson for taking the time to write to us with such wonderful feedback. You can read more from Lt. Colonel Paterson’s kind letter in the image below, and if you would like to arrange your own FREE, no obligation demonstration test drive, hear more about the Quingo range or receive a FREE brochure, give our friendly team a call on FREEPHONE 0800 731 3376.

Forever Active, Quingo UK distributor - “A Credit to Your Firm”

Mr J.D. Duckmanton of Nottinghamshire wrote to us after taking delivery of his Quingo Air. His home demonstration was with one of our friendly representatives, Mr A. Hussain. 

During the free assessment and test drive, Mr Hussain initially ascertained that Mr Duckmanton was both safe and suitable to use a Quingo. He then explained the benefits and abilities of the Quingo Air, and demonstrated to Mr Duckmanton how to safely operate the scooter. Mr Duckmanton noted how thorough Mr Hussain was in his demonstration and thanked him for the pleasant way in which he dealt with the appointment, stating he did not put any pressure on selling. 

Similarly, Mr Duckmanton offered his thanks to another of the Quingo team, Mr Paul Shepherd, who “went to great lengths” to ensure Mr Duckmanton knew how to operate his new Quingo scooter correctly, ensuring the safest and most comfortable driving position. 


The Quingo team "went to great lengths" to ensure Mr Duckmanton knew how to operate his Quingo Air.

Can your scooter handle up to 4 inch kerbs at angles?

Here we bring you another short movie from our Quingo ‘Feature Highlight’ series. This time, we focus on the dynamic stability features and superior kerb handling abilities of the 5 wheel Quingo range, as tested by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. 

Most mobility scooters handle kerbs relatively well when approaching them head on, but only Quingo scooters are also designed to cope with kerbs at angles of up to 45 degrees. This unique feature allows any Quingo user to safely ascend and descend kerbs in situations where there is not enough room to approach at 90 degrees, a surprisingly common situation on many of Britain’s pavements. 

Additionally Kerbmaster™- the world’s first and only anti-grounding and anti-tipping device- auto-activates on higher kerbs to safely enable your Quingo to descend to road level, a situation where traditional scooters can become lodged on their own anti-tip wheels. With Quingo Kerbmaster™ there is no delay in descending even higher kerbs, a delay which with a traditional scooter could leave the driver beached and exposed in a dangerous position.

These are just a couple of the unique stability features of the Quingo range. Please review our short movie. To request your free brochure and discover more about Quingos other features or arrange your free, no obligation test drive, please call out friendly team on FREEPHONE 0800 731 3376.

Forever Active, Quingo UK distributor - Mavis Gets New Wheels!

Until 2 years ago, 99-year-old Mavis was a car driver travelling around Gloucestershire, but after hanging up her keys she has taken the plunge and switched to a mobility scooter!

Mavis hasn’t looked back since she took the decision to give up her car and purchase a Quingo. Driving her scooter has ensured that she can keep her independence and mobility, allowing her to be able to visit friends and family easily, without the need for a car. 

Mavis passed her safety assessment with flying colours and is now steadily building her confidence and looking forward to putting the 30-mile range of her scooter to good use. 

The ‘Blue Diamond Driver Check’ is part of the new joint National Scooter Safety Campaign which provides a safety and capability assessment and is free with every test drive of any of the Quingo range. This is part of the new working relationship between Quingo and Age UK to promote safer, more comfortable and confident scooter driving. 

For more information on any of the Quingo 5 Wheel Scooter range, please give us a call on Freephone 0800 731 3376 and our friendly team will be more than happy to help.

Forever Active, Quingo UK distributor - Quingo helps out at ZSL London Zoo

ZSL London Zoo has recently taken ownership of four brand new 5 wheel Quingo Toura which are now available for rent to visitors of London’s famous attraction. The 5 wheel fleet will be a welcome addition to the Zoo and a great way for animal lovers with limited mobility to safely explore all that is on offer.




Supplied by Forever Active, the UK’s exclusive distributor of Quingo mobility scooters, the Quingo Toura was selected due to its long range capabilities and its ability to manoeuvre safely and easily on the Zoo’s pavements and pathways. The Zoo was looking for a scooter capable of being rented out twice in one day without having to be recharged in between rentals; the Quingo Toura was the ideal choice, offering up to 55 miles maximum range.

So far the Quingo Toura has been a great hit with visitors, enabling those with limited mobility to fully explore the Zoo’s many and varied attractions, such as the popular Sumatran tigers, Jae Jae and Melati, the Humboldt Penguins and many more of the Zoo’s 760 animal species. 

For more information on how the Quingo Toura could help you, call FREEPHONE 0800 085 7555 and for those who would like more information on London Zoo, visit their website: http://www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo/

Quingo’s latest Emmerdale appearance!

Emmerdale character Sandy Thomas (played by Freddie Jones) continues to enjoy the finer things in life with the help of his 5 Wheel Quingo Vitess.

Acquired in October of last year, Sandy’s Quingo Vitess has provided him with a safe means of getting around the village and has helped him stay involved with the latest goings-on in the Yorskshire Dales.

Perfect for a character like Sandy, the Quingo Vitess is a long-range, 8mph model capable of navigating the rugged terrain of the Dales as well as being agile enough to turn in the small village stores and pathways. Since its arrival, Sandy’s Vitess has allowed him to safely and easily keep his independence, visit shops and friends, and stay involved with the rest of close-knit Emmerdale community.

To find out more about how Quingo can change your life, or for more info on the Quingo Vitess, please call our friendly team today on FREEPHONE 0800 731 3376.

Is your traditional scooter this stable?

Here’s a new short movie in our ‘Feature Highlights’ series, this time focusing on the premium stability of the 5 wheel Quingo range and the Quintell Technology used to provide optimum safety in multiple real life situations.

Only Quingo offers the world patented 5 wheel stability system that ensures stability without compromising agility or comfort, areas where traditional 3 or 4 wheel scooters are forced to make trade offs.

Many 3 wheel scooters actually offer a better seating position and better turning circle than 4 wheelers but it is on corners and on inclines where physically all 3 wheel scooters struggle. Only Quingo performs in all of these key areas.

Unlike most scooters, the weight distribution on a Quingo has a forward bias. Users’ legs and feet are positioned low over the front wheels at the same time maintaining the best possible ergonomic driving position. Traditional 4 wheel scooters force legs and feet to be either pushed back behind the front wheels or worse positioned high above them compromising posture. This forward bias not only helps maintain stability on inclines, slopes and hills but also plays a key part in safely negotiating kerbs both up and down.

Another unique stability feature is Kerbmaster™, the world’s first powered anti-grounding and anti-tipping device. When descending higher kerbs, where traditional scooters can become beached on their own anti-tip wheels, Kerbmaster™ auto- activates and safely enables the Quingo to descend to road level without delay. A delay which, in certain situations, could leave a driver in a dangerous position, stranded in a road.

These are just some of the unique stability features of Quingo. To find out more, receive a free brochure or if you would like more information about other features, please call our friendly team today on FREEPHONE 0800 731 3376.
