Forever Active, Quingo UK distributor - winners of the feefo Gold Trusted Merchant Award

Quingo's exlusive UK distributor Forever Active have won the prestigious Gold Trusted Merchant Award from feefo.

This is unique in that it is based on the experience of genuine customers who have purchased products, and all results are completely independent of the merchant. Well done indeed!

The Q-Cam Rear View Camera and Display System

A first for mobility scooters, the Q-Cam allows the scooter owner to enjoy vastly enhanced vision in all situations, no matter which way they are heading! They will be afforded full, unhindered vision, helping them to see obstacles that are behind them such as pedestrians, children & pets even when they could be hidden by the mirror’s blind spots. The rear, centre mounted camera, with its 120 degree field of vision, eliminates the crucial blind spot allowing them to see everything behind them. 

Do They Have a Stiff Neck? 

Many scooter owners can suffer from joint stiffness and pain in the neck and shoulders. This can make that vital second safety check of looking behind them difficult or even impossible. The Q-Cam allows them to see any hidden objects with ease and means they no longer need to turn their heads to the rear to see what is behind them, meaning they can avoid a pain in their neck! 

Better Vision, Even In Low Light 

It can be difficult seeing clearly in poor light. The Q-Cam offers enhanced vision in these conditions and allows the user to see things clearly revealing any unseen hazards potentially hidden in the shadows. The Q-Cam is available as an option on Quingo Vitess 1 & 2 and Quingo Toura 1 & 2.

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!

The UK Quingo team present award for 'Best Limited Mobility Provider' at 2015 Silver Travel Awards

The first Silver Travel Awards took place yesterday and Quingo Scooters are delighted to announce that Warner Leisure Hotels were awarded the Quingo sponsored Best Limited Mobility/Accessible Travel Provider Award. 

Silver Travel Awards 

The Silver Travel Awards are an event celebrating and recognising achievements in the mature travel market. The event took place last night (June 4th) at the Dinosaur Gallery of the Natural History Museum in London. Broadcaster and ex-royal correspondent Jennie Bond greeted nominees and winners at the ceremony. 

Silver Travel Advisor asked its users to vote for their favourite holiday companies and destinations; and for hotels or B&Bs which gave them a special experience. For Quingo’s award, this was any companies or destinations that really excelled in accessibility and making it as accommodating as possible for you and your Quingo. 

Mark Nicholls, Managing Director of Forever Active, Quingo’s Exclusive UK distributor presented the award to Tony Ineson Marketing Manager of Warner Leisure Hotels. “Obviously we are very happy to be involved with this particular award. Being able to take your Quingo or any mobility scooter away with you on holiday is something that makes a huge difference to those who rely on them and enjoying new places and staying in accommodation that makes the extra effort should be acknowledged.” 

 “We are thrilled that this year’s winner is Warner Leisure and we encourage them and everyone else in the industry to do everything they can to continue the good work.” 

 Best Limited Mobility/Accessible Travel Provider Award 

The shortlist for the award was announced, and for the Quingo’s Best Limited Mobility Award the nominees were: 

• MSC Cruises 

• Saga 

• P&O Cruises 

• Cunard 

• Warner Leisure Hotels 

This award in particular is special to Quingo because it recognises companies and destinations that work harder to make sure facilities are available for all. Improving accessibility is important to us at Quingo and these companies deserve to be commended for helping mobility scooter users enjoy their holiday. 

Warner Leisure Hotels Warner Leisure Hotels are located in some of the UK's most picturesque and historic areas. They offer accommodation including six Grade I or II listed historic hotels in beautiful countryside locations. They also run day time activities such as tennis, archery, gyms and spa’s. They have a wide range of dining options and are a host of live entertainment. Warner are happy to provide advice and assistance for guests with limited mobility and recommend you contact them beforehand to ensure the best possible advice is given. 

More information about accessibility can be found on their website. The Quingo team would like to congratulate Warner Leisure Hotels on the well-deserved award.  

 

Quingo - a hit with both teens and seniors in Sweden

Swedish audiences in Vänersborg have just had their first taste of the 5 wheel Quingo phenomenon at two special events attended by AVCs, exclusive Swedish Quingo distributor Promenix Solutions.

The first show was ‘Older Fair 2015’, which as the name suggests focuses on the needs of a more senior audience. Johan Hellgren of Promenix explains “Older Fair was a great success for us and Quingo, with a constant stream of interested mature people, both private and professionals visiting the stand. The Quingo Flyte, our self-loading portable was a massive hit. No-one had ever seen anything like it. We set up the Flyte in a Ford Fiesta and so many were amazed that such a powerful scooter was able to fit into such a small space. Some people even mistook it to be a lawn-mower at first and were even more surprised when we unloaded a full size mobility scooter.”

Also on the Promenix stand was the recently launched Quingo Vitess 2, one of the new, most advanced flagship models, fitted with the very popular ‘Q-Cam‘ which is a rear view camera option that provides users with all round vision in any direction of travel’. Johan again “The Vitess 2 was the model that most people wanted to try ‘hands-on’ and everyone who did, came back smiling after the test drive. As if to highlight the agility and ergonomic advantages of the Vitess, next to our stand was a traditional 4-wheel scooters company that happily provided the perfect comparison”

Sweden's second show was ‘Tillsammans’ which means ‘Together’ and aims to inspire young people with disabilities with alternative leisure activities across a broad range of areas, including music, dance and fashion and including mobility.

Johan continues “The Together Fair was quite another story, here, although still a very enthusiastic audience, nearly all were teenagers. Here, the organisers put up a 256m2 track marked up with cones for users to try products for themselves and here, the real difference between Quingo and standard scooters became even more obvious. It surprised me more than once how engaged and interested young users and their helpers were with Quingo, many of whom just kept coming back... and not just for the sweets.” 
Everyone in the AVC team would like to congratulate Promenix Solutions on the success of both shows and fantastic impact they are already making in their territory.

Quingo Flyte Wins Top International Innovation Award

The Quingo Flyte, AVC’s recently launched, self-loading, portable mobility scooter has just won the best innovation award at the REVA EXPO held in Ghent, Belgium.

The exhibition runs from 23-25 April 2015 and showcases the very latest developments and innovation for the elderly and disabled.

The REVAnueva Award is a contest for the most innovative product or service for the sector and this after being nominated, the Quingo Flyte, we are very please to say, has beome the Expo’s outright winner.

More than 150 exhibitors are a participating at this years REVA and has 15,000 visitors viewing the latest products and services from young to old, from people with a limited disability to those with more profound impairments.

The Quingo Flyte is just one of a range of 5 wheel scooters that offer customers enhanced stability, unequalled agility and full ergonomic posture control that provides improved comfort even on longer journeys.

The Flyte itself is a portable 5 wheel model specifically designed to give those with any kind of walking difficulty the opportunity to take a full performance scooter with them in their car without the need of any heavy lifting.

The Flyte uses a lightweight docking station and ramps to remotely load and unload the scooter in and out of most hatchbacks, estates, SUVs and 4x4s with ease and all in under 60 seconds.

The scooter already enjoying unprecedented success in the UK is now available in several European countries including Holland, Germany, Spain, Sweden and now of course Belgium.

AVC would like to congratulate their exclusive Belgium distributor, Mobiscoot and all its staff for their great success at the show and wish them well for the remainder of the Expo. For more information on distribution opportunities click here  

The Quingo Flyte: The Perfect Half-Term Holiday Mobility Solution

As the October half-term break draws closer, many of us across the country will be busy making plans to visit family, friends and loved ones. While the October break is a great opportunity to bring family and loved ones closer together, the thought of transporting traditional 3 and 4 wheel scooters on long journeys can be a real deterrent for many.

The huge advantage of the Quingo Flyte over other traditional scooters is the ease with which the scooter can be loaded into almost any hatchback, SUV and estate cars. In this post, we take a closer look at why the Quingo Flyte can help make troublesome car loading and car journeys a thing of the past.

Quingo Flyte loading

Overcoming the Elements

Although October may be one of the colder, more challenging months of the year, the Quingo Flyte’s remote controlled docking system makes loading your scooter into your car incredibly easy. For the first time ever, the Quingo Flyte offers a completely portable mobility solution. The remote controlled system is so easy to use in fact that the Flyte can load and unload itself into most small hatchbacks and estate car in less than a minute, meaning you won’t be left struggling in the elements while trying to figure out a solution to load your scooter.

We’re committed to Great Customer Experiences

When it comes describing the superior quality and experience afforded by the Quingo Flyte, you need look no further than our own customers’ testimonials! We were recently contacted by Mrs Anne Wood of Kent, who had taken her Quingo Flyte all the way to Europe’s most northerly point – the North Cape in Norway! In an extremely kind letter, Mrs Wood went on to describe to us that she never would have been able to visit North Cape “with a scooter you had to dismantle to load into the coach”.

Mrs Wood at North Cape, Norway

Mr R. Grenville of Essex, also kindly wrote to us earlier in the year to let us know just how much the Flyte has changed his life. Mr Grenville explained in his letter than his quality of life had been “vastly improved” as a result of the highly versatile Quingo Flyte.
