Spring is fast approaching and as the days grow longer and warmer, now is the time to start your search for a new mobility scooter. We have some excellent new models this year to tell you about and several are just perfect for some springtime adventures.
Living with osteoporosis can be challenging and it can quickly reduce your mobility. It can also lead to an increase in risk of falling. Fortunately, there are now many mobility aids that help improve comfort, safety and independence for those with the condition.
CareCo is not part of the Motability scheme. The UK Motability scheme is a government-backed initiative designed to help people with disabilities gain access to mobility aids and vehicles, enhancing their independence and quality of life.
The Maximus delivers the very latest mobility scooter technology in a sleek design and with comfortable features, but can still be folded and carried in the boot of a small car. It offers complete independence and freedom to those living with a range of mobility challenges.
One of the most common questions customers ask about mobility scooters is whether or not they can cope with steep hills. All scooters differ, so it is never possible to give a standard reply. However, scooters are tested by manufactures and slope and gradient information is usually given in the product manuals, which we share on our product listings.

The two most important joints to keep mobile and strong are the knees and ankles, as these support your whole body and are vital for walking mobility. As soon as these weaken, we tend to reduce activity levels dramatically, and this creates a downward spiral of reduced mobility.
Daily living aids make the world of difference to an individual’s day to day life, and can be the crucial factor when it comes to living independently, without being reliant on the assistance of others.
A good armchair is one of life's little luxuries, and while all our chairs are made with comfort in mind, we know that everybody has a different opinion of what makes the perfect armchair.
We all have a favourite chair, somewhere we can sit and feel both physically and mentally relaxed, whether it is to chat with family, to read a book or perhaps to settle in front of the TV and let our eyes drift closed for a few minutes. However, if you have limited mobility, the act of settling into or getting up from your seat can be a real challenge.
when it comes to buying a mobility scooter, you can buy a brand new one, complete with warranty for as little as £500. It means there is not the demand for used ones as there is for second hand cars. On the other hand, that lack of demand means there are bargains to be had out there. The question is, are they worth it?
We have the cheapest entry level mobility scooters on the market and with a growing selection of high-end scooters available, people often forget that we started out as the discount mobility experts. So let's look at our cheap mobility scooters in each category.
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of reduced mobility, and because it often affects the hands, shoulders and elbow, it can make every day tasks so much more difficult, and sometimes, impossible. Fortunately, we have been able to develop several mobility aids to help you to live a more independent and pain free life. Here are our newest and most popular arthritis support aids.
The biggest challenge during this outbreak will be for those who currently require regular home visitors from care workers and family members to help with every day tasks from dressing and washing, to cooking, cleaning and dealing with letters and helping with medicine and doctors appointments.
If you tend to travel far and take your mobility scooter on the road then you need not only a comfortable class 3 mobility scooter, but also one that will go the distance. Here are our best performing mobility scooters.
Without doubt, a good riser recliner armchair is one of the best mobility products for the home - being able to sit comfortably and not struggle to get into or out of a comfy chair is a godsend for many people.
