The second short video in our “Feature Highlight” series focuses on the agility and manoeuvrability advantages of Quingo scooters and how these features benefit our customers.
In our last post, we highlighted how Quingo is able to adapt to suit the user for both best posture and comfort, and how five wheel scooters adapt to allow more space when you need it and occupy less space when you don’t have enough.
In our latest video we look at how Quingo five wheel scooters offer up some clever features to help when a tight turning circle is vital.
Most three wheel scooters have far better turning circles than four wheelers, but often fall short when it comes to stability. Four wheeled scooters generally offer less agility, and when we tested the five wheeled Quingos against four wheelers of comparable length, the Quingo turned tighter than its four wheel equivalent in each case.
Agility and stability at the same time means safer, easier and tighter turning for you at home, in the shops or just out and about with your family.
We understand that choosing the right scooter among the many available can be a daunting task but don’t worry! Our friendly experts are on hand to help answer any questions you may have and will happily demonstrate all the advantages of Quingo at your home or on your local roads and pavements.
Enjoy our short movie! And for more information on the manoeuvrability of Quingo five wheeled scooters, or if you’d like a free brochure, give our team a call on freephone 0800 731 3376 and we’ll be happy to help.
The first video in our new “Feature Highlight” series focuses on the adaptable features of Quingo scooters and how these features benefit our customers.
There are so many mobility scooters on the market these days it can be a daunting task selecting one that suits you. Fortunately we can make that task a little easier for you. In addition to the numerous stability, agility and comfort advantages, Quingo 5 wheel scooters have a unique collection of technologies, which allow it to adapt to you, the user.
For example all but the entry-level model come with Quintell Adaptive Footplates, which ensure each of your limbs are fully positioned and supported independently and precisely. So, whatever your height, size or shape, your Quingo is able to place you in the best possible anatomical driving position. This in turn means maximum comfort for all your journeys short or long.
Only Quingo offers more space when you need it...and takes up less space where you don’t: Our extended access seat slide not only allows for precise fore and aft positioning but also provides significantly increased access on and off the vehicle. This is especially useful if you suffer with stiff joints.
On selected models, the ‘fold-flat’ seat mechanism means that the high back seat can be folded without having to remove it; ideal for fitting in storage or for when transporting your scooter.
This is just a glimpse of how the Quingo range of 5 wheel scooters can help you safely and comfortably reconnect to your family, friends and community.

Vascular Disease Awareness Week 2013 takes place this year between the 11th and 17th of March. The week aims to highlight the importance of looking after your legs and make sure occurrences of vascular diseases, one of the UK’s largest killers, are minimised.
With the aim of Vascular Disease Awareness Week in mind, it’s important to remember how Quingo mobility scooters can help those who have experienced problems with their legs and are stuck at home. Exercise is key wherever possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle but longer trips for some can become difficult. In these circumstances a Quingo is a good option to get you out of the house to make those essential trips to the shops or visit relatives and friends. It will keep you active and keep you connected to your community.
However, when deciding which scooter to purchase, it is important for mobility scooter users to source the safest, most comfortable and most suitable scooter for their needs.
Although most mobility scooters can have advantages for people suffering from problems with their legs, it’s worth noting that the Quingo five wheeled mobility scooters offer significantly greater leg room than their three or four wheel counterparts: in most cases up to 80% more foot area. This ensures that Quingo drivers experience the best anatomical driving position, improved circulation and crucially, easy access on and off the vehicle.
Additionally, all Quingo scooters offer adaptive floating foot plates. These allow the Quingo user’s legs to be individually adjusted to ensure hips, legs and feet are precisely where they should be for best posture and circulation. These adjustments are vital if you have one stiff leg and more movement in the other. Quingo’s adaptive footplates are also sprung loaded which allows the user to independently exercise ankle joints while on the move. Even moderate exercise while driving a scooter could make all the difference.

A recent episode of BBC1’s ‘The One Show’ featured a sequence on the importance of safety, training and insurance for drivers of Mobility Scooters.
The episode quite legitimately highlighted some of the negative consequences that can occur when a scooter is mis-sold, misused or sold with inadequate or no training. Thankfully, accidents are rare and most users enjoy the benefits a scooter offers without incident. However, when accidents do occur, as they do in all modes of transport, they attract more than their fair share of headlines.
The show highlighted the importance of insurance, which although is not mandatory, is highly recommended by the Department for Transport and the entire Quingo Team. Insurance is not expensive and gives you real peace of mind if anything should ever happen.
With all this in mind, the importance of sourcing your scooter from a company that provides comprehensive training and a safety test to ensure that users are capable and safe to drive a scooter is highlighted.
It goes without saying that only after completing the safety test and training that our customers go on to select the safest, most stable and reliable scooter you can get. Collectively, these simple steps go a long way to ensuring both user and public safety.
Here at Quingo, we get many letters from people we have assessed and their siblings thanking us for our honesty when a test has highlighted that certain individuals would not be safe to use a Quingo.
When choosing a company to purchase your scooter from, it’s well worth noting that while safety, stability and comfort are all paramount, that is not the end of the story. The pre and after sales services are just as vital, and in many instances make all the difference when it comes to getting genuine value for money and ensuring user suitability and safety.
‘The One Show’ feature asked the question of whether more legislation would help or hinder the ability of genuine users to access products. The programme summarised that as long as customers purchase from good, reputable companies offering comprehensive training, testing and insurance, the current legislation should be sufficient enough to make sure incidents remain rare.
For many people, a Quingo is literally a replacement for their legs and it’s vital that those in need can access these essential devices with appropriate training without excessive fuss and additional paperwork. Quingos make a vital difference to our customers’ well-being and quality of life.
If you would like more information on our unique 5 wheel range, to discuss your free assessment and test drive, or if you just want a brochure, please call 0800 0857 555 and we’ll be waiting to help.
