The Quingo 5-wheel advantage, heading down under!

Brett and Ron Norish of Arbien Traders with AVC's Chairman, Graham Nicholls

Advanced Vehicle Concepts are very excited to announce that their range of highly successful 5 wheel mobility scooters  are to become available in Australia and New Zealand with the appointment of a new exclusive distributor for the region. As of this week, Arbien Traders have exclusive distribution rights to sell the range in Australasia.

Ron and Brett Norish own Arbien Traders and are based out of Western Australia in the city of Perth. Brett Norish explains “We already have a successful health and safety equipment business operational in the region and so the tie up is great news for our customers. The Quingo range is a perfect addition to our growing portfolio of products.”

Australia and New Zealand have some of the most stringent regulations in the world for medical devices and so approval of the Quingo range by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration was part of the preliminary work which culminated in this weeks announcement.

AVC Chairman, Graham Nicholls and the UK Quingo Team met with Ron and Brett as part of their UK familiarisation and training programme at Quingo’s head office in Luton, Bedfordshire.

Mark Nicholls, AVC’s Director, commented “It’s really good news for customers, as well as our teams in the UK and Australia. We get many enquiries over here asking if our scooters are available in Australia, so we are thrilled to extend Quingo’s reach further and help to transform the lives of all our friends down under.  We are very much looking forward to working with the Australian team.”

Quingo UK distributor, Forever Active at the Mobility Roadshow 2016

Discover Quingo’s winning stability, agility and comfort formula at the home of British Racing.

This year’s Mobility Roadshow is going to bring something new, for the first time ever, you’ll be able to test-drive the very latest, most advanced 5 wheel Quingo Mobility Scooter range at Northampton’s renowned Silverstone Circuit. The complete range will be there, including the very latest Quingo Vitess 2 and the flagship Quingo Toura 2 and all latest accessories, including the brand new Q-Cam Rear View Camera and Display that does away with the blind spot left between wing mirrors making using the scooters much easier, especially for those who have stiff necks.

Experience for yourself why no other mobility scooter range offers more stability, more agility, more comfort when you visit us on our stand at the show.

The safety and well being of the owners of Quingo scooters are our prime concerns and, to this end, Quingo’s designers took an imaginative approach to designing the entire range, creating ingenious solutions to the flaws commonly found in more conventional scooters.

Being the only 5 wheel scooter range in the world Quingo's allow many manoeuvres to be undertaken safely that are simply not even possible on other scooters. Unique technologies such as Tri-wheel steering which combines unrivalled agility where space is at a premium with superlative stability while taking corners or negotiating inclines. Unsurpassed kerb handling like being able to mount or descend from kerbs at angles of up to 45 degrees and the revolutionary KerbMaster™ system eliminates the possibility of the anti-tip wheels beaching even on higher kerbs.

In order to enhance our products and bring a better experience to the owner of our scooters we are continually investing in research and development, utilizing advances in technology wherever we encounter them.

The Quingo designer's inventive approach to personal mobility issues is perhaps best seen in the award-winning, self-loading Quingo Flyte which, with its docking station, allows the user to load and unload a high performance portable 5 wheel scooter from the boot of most hatchbacks and SUVs without the need for any heavy lifting or dismantling and in under 60 seconds!

In total there are 6 models to choose from, including those we’ve mentioned plus additional take-part portables, long-range road-legal models and many with all weather canopy options. All will be available for you to try at the show.

Come and experience the Quingo advantage at Silverstone in Hall 3 on stand 83-84, 26th-28th May 2016, find out for yourself why Quingo is leading the way in safer 5 wheel mobility.

Quingo - helping around the world!

A video from our dutch distributor here is an translation to English

1.
00:12 -> 00:15
I’ve had surgery,
First ive had a hernia surgery.

2.
00:16 -> 00:19
That went wrong.
Then I went to a clinic

3.
00:19 -> 00:24
in Germany for surgery.
When I woke up from anesthesia,

4.
00:24 -> 00:28
I had a spinal cord injury.
I could hardly walk.

5.
00:29 -> 00:32
Every now and then I walk a little bit.

6.
00:32 -> 00:36
Here too, but then I have
terrible pain on my feet.

7.
00:36 -> 00:41
I’m really happy to have
a mobility scooter,

8.
00:41 -> 00:43
because otherwise, I cant go anywhere.

9.
00:55 -> 01:00
I ended up with Quingo
Because off a commercial on tv.

10.
01:00 -> 1:04
I used to have a mobility scooter,
but with it, I would turn over.

11.
1:04 -> 1:08
That was very dangerous.
Then I saw you could ask

12.
1:08 -> 1:12
for a free test drive.
And so I did.

13.
01:18 -> 01:21
-Why did you choose Quingo?

14.
01:21 -> 01:30
Well, because it was advertised I could try it out first.

15.
01:31 -> 01:36
I thought it drove fantastic.
And I felt so safe in there.

16.
01:37 -> 01:44
Also I have to say, the mechanics and everybody, were very friendly.

17.
01:44 -> 01:49
Every time I called, they came to help me.
They always came immediately.

18.
01:50 -> 01:53
I wouldn’t want any other mobility scooter.

19.
2:11 -> 02:13
Why do you think the chapel so
special?

20.
02:14 -> 02:19
That part of nature,
it is so beautiful in my opinion.

21.
02:20 -> 02:24
I can’t go into the church anymore,
but there I can just sit in the outdoors.

22.
02:25 -> 02:29
And then you kind off have the idea,
that once again you have been

23.
02:29 -> 02:35
to church.
Also, when you are around there,

24.
02:35 -> 02:38
you have contact with
other people.

25.
02:48 -> 02:56
I feel safe in a Quingo because
I have no problems with it at all.

26.
2:56 -> 3:01
When I had the one from my municipality,
I felt really unsafe.

27.
3:02 -> 3:06
With that one I fell twice.

28.
03:08 -> 03:14
And once I was thrown out of it.
With the Quingo mobility scooter I’ve never

29.
3:14 -> 3:19 a.m.
had a problem, no slipping
or anything.

30.
03:21 -> 03:24
The suspension in the chair, everything is
perfect.

31.
03:25 -> 03:28
Also it is perfectly adjusted.

32.
3:29 -> 03:34
They are very precisely with that.
And I find that very important.

33.
03:35 -> 03:38
That is why I feel so
safe in a Quingo.

New Air 2 Video

This video really shows just how easy the new "All White" Air 2 is to take apart. 

The NEW Air 2 is here!

The Quingo Air 2 is as simple as ever to transport and easily dismantles into the boot of even small cars in less than 60 seconds. It's heaviest component is just 26.8kg and can be wheeled along with it's own carry handle. Dismantling and assembly is both practical and quick and customers love the combination of performance, comfort and portability.

New features include:

Extended Range Option
Users can now charge and use up to 4 x 15 Ah batteries simultaneously for up to 18 miles on a single charge which is nearly double the range of the previous model.

Off Vehicle Charging Option

The benefit of 2 x 15Ah onboard batteries and two additional 15 Ah batteries charged remotely, away from the vehicle.

All New Dash Layout
WEith new illuminated fuel gauge, new matt black anti-glare finish, new high security ignition system and new improved throttle action.

Anti-Slip Adaptive-Footplates
Independently adjustable forward and backward, up and down and at any angle, the new Anti-Slip surface provides precisely the right posture no matter your height or leg length.

New Armrest Adjust
Larger, easier to use thumb screws make minor adjustments easier than ever.


Not just an ordinary portable scooter:

Enhanced 5 wheel stability
3 wheel, first generation portable scooters while agile are simply not as stable as 4 wheel portables. Using British designed 5 wheel Quintell technology means stability in its own class, vital for slopes, hills and when using kerbs.

Superior comfort & posture control
Adopting a healthy posture is a critical element when selecting any mobility vehicle. Quingo is the only scooter range that offers adaptive footplates and full ergonomic posture control, providing superior comfort even on longer journeys. The feet forward configuation of Quingo means taller customers or those with stiff joints can comfortably be catered for in a portable vehicle that is just 107 cm long.

Unequalled agility and tighter turning

In independent research the 5 wheel Quingo is proven to be more manoeuvrable than any other 4 wheel scooter of comparable length available today. It means safer agility in small local shops and malls or in any area where space is limited.

Safer kerb handling - even at angles
Kerbs are an unavoidable menace to any scooter rider. Only the Quingo 5 wheel system offers the ability to climb and descend kerbs at angles. In addition Quingo’s patented Kerbmaster not only prevents tipping but also eliminates beaching with it's auto-powered drive system.


Not just an ordinary specification:

• An infinately adjustable, easy lock tiller
• A fully padded 'Comfort Plus' seat with armrests
• Swivel function, front/back slide and height adjustment
• New height and width adjustable padded armrests
• All round lightweight alloy wheels
• Front and back large pneumatic tyres
• Chassis mounted basket for lighter steering
• 3 year manufacturers warranty

All in all the new Quingo Air 2 is an unbeatable combination of safety benefits, performance, style and now offering even better value.

For those oaf you with the original Air, now is a good time to sell them!
