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.

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.

Is your traditional scooter this comfortable?

Here’s another short movie from our ‘Feature Highlight’ series, which focuses on the comfort and posture advantages of the Quingo Scooter range, which combine to make every journey as comfortable and effortless as possible. 

So far we have showcased the agility, manoeuvrability and stability advantages of a 5 wheel scooter when compared to their traditional 3 or 4 wheel counterparts. Independent testing revealed that the 5 wheel Quingo had a smaller turning radius than comparable length 4 wheel equivalents in every case.

In this movie, we look at how adopting a healthy and comfortable sitting position on any scooter is only possible when all permutations of adjustment are available and set correctly for each individual. Whilst many 3 and 4 wheel scooters have some of these adjustments, the Quingo range has them all. This data is backed by the Davis Associates Anthropometric/Posture review. This adaptability means precisely the right scooter for you whether you are 4’ or 6’6” (122cm to 198cm). 

The typical foot area on a traditional 4 wheeler is approximately 33cm (13"). With the Quingo Classic as an example, it is up-to 59cm (23"). A staggering 80% more foot area than on a vehicle of comparable length. The entire range also enjoys 'intuitive feet forward position'. On top of this, Quintell Adaptive foot-plates offer leg independent adjustment in multiple planes to ensure a safe, natural and comfortable ride whatever your dimensions. 

Comfort means having controls exactly where you want them. The Quingo's dampened quick release steering column allows the steering controls to be set at precisely the right angle and distance. The Quingo Vitess and Toura also feature self levelling tiller controls with digital easy read illuminated displays. Release the latch located under the throttle control and the entire steering column smoothly swings away for easy access on or off the vehicle.

The Quingos remarkably smooth ride and dynamic stability is enhanced further on the mid and long range models by two independent suspension systems. The front system complements Quintell’s unique stability technology while the rear arrangement is assisted by a duel spring system fixed directly to the sub frame. The Quingo Vitess and Toura suspension features adjustable settings that can be adapted to users’ requirements. The result is a smooth, cushioned sensation minimizing the lumps and bumps of every day driving.

These are just some of the comfort features of Quingo. Enjoy our short video and if you would like more information about other features or receive a free brochure, please call our friendly team today on FREEPHONE 0800 731 3376.  

The Stig tests Quingo to its limits!

The Mobility Roadshow is now over for another year and in their 30th year, what an event it was! The event once again provided a one-stop shop with a wide range of advice and products for those with restricted mobility and their carers. 

Thanks for everyone who came along to the Quingo/Age UK stand and especially those who participated in our ‘Blue Diamond Driver Safety Campaign’. We hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as the Quingo team did! 

The event has once again been heralded a huge success by visitors and exhibitors alike. This year was Quingo’s most successful show to date, and with Telford proving such a popular location even The Stig was in attendance showing off some of his driving and manoeuvring skills! 

Like so many attendees, The Stig sat his ‘Blue Diamond Driver Check’ –and perhaps not surprisingly passed with flying colours! He can now proudly display his ‘Blue Diamond’ badge on his scooter to prove that he meets the required driving standard. 

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. 

The team showcased the full range of Quingo products and services, imparted valuable advice and tips along with providing test drives and other hands on experiences to aid anyone looking to purchase a mobility scooter. 

 It was very rewarding to see so many scooter users being able to test drive Quingo and experience all the unique 5 wheel features. We know from our customer feedback that this is by far the best way to appreciate the Quingo’s amazing stability, agility and comfort advantages. 

We would like to thank everyone who came to see us at the show, we look forward to reconnecting you to your community, family and friends and we’d also like to thank our colleagues from AgeUK, especially Hugh Forde for helping to launch our ‘Blue Diamond Driver Check’ and everyone in the Quingo team that made it such a rewarding event. 

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.
