Get Outside This Spring!

  Get Around This Spring 1Spring is on its way! Now is the perfect time to make sure you have everything you need to get out and about this season. Maintain or improve your access to the great outdoors with our heavy duty mobility scooters, ramps, and vehicle lifts. Don’t miss out on any beautiful weather or time with your family this springtime. Read on to learn about some of the most essential products for making sure you can get around with ease.

Enjoy Comfort Outdoors on a Mobility Scooter

Travel with confidence over all terrains with one of our durable mobility scooters. The Victory 10 LX w/ CTS Suspension will keep you comfortable in any outdoor setting. The Victory 10’s Comfort-Tract Suspension, CTS, is the next generation of suspension technology and will ensure a smooth ride. Pride also designed the Victory to be very easily assembled and disassembled, making it a breeze to travel with. Another great option for spending time outside is the Pursuit PMW. This mobility scooter features a rugged construction for off-road use and independent front and rear wheel suspension for all-terrain use. The Cobra GT4 Heavy Duty Scooter by Drive Medical is also a great option for exploring the outdoors. The Cobra has an impressive 35-mile travel capacity on a single battery charge, making it a great option for a trip with your friends and family. While durable and heavy duty scooters are great for going off the beaten path, portable mobility scooters are perfect for vacations and road trips! Pride’s Go-Go Scooter Ultra X 3-Wheel can be disassembled into five pieces (the heaviest of which is only 30 pounds) so you don’t need a vehicle lift to take it on the road. Pride also makes the Go-Go Elite Traveller 4-wheel, another lightweight and easily disassembled scooter with the added stability of a 4-wheel frame. The E-Force 1 Airline Approved Scooter is the perfect option for flying. At a spectacular 53 pounds, this scooter can travel 15 miles on a single charge and is airline approved!

Get Outside with the Convenience of a Ramp

Ramps are another essential tool for increasing your outdoor independence this spring. The OnTrac Wheelchair Access Ramp with Handrails is a simple and efficient ramp for your home. At 36” wide, it is perfect for mobility scooters, power chairs, or wheelchairs. For road trips and car travel in general, the MiniFold Power Ramp is a great alternative to a total vehicle modification. Available in manual or electric models, with an optional remote control. This convenient ramp can be installed in any van with a 29” or wider opening. EZ Access made the Transitions Angled Entry Mat out of 100% recycled rubber for easy access through doorways in your home. This threshold mat is perfect for sliding doors, so get out to that deck and enjoy the nice weather!

Hit the Open Road with a Vehicle Lift

Don’t let your larger power chair or scooter keep you from going on a road trip this spring! We offer a wide range of vehicle lifts to make your traveling experience worry-free. The Universal Scooter Lift by Harmar is one of the most versatile lifts on the market. Available in a swing-away option for trunk access, this lift extends only 12” behind your vehicle when folded up. Perfect for taking any travel or full size scooter on the road! The Outlander Vehicle Lift from Pride is built to last, with a durable frame and a weather resistant phosphate undercoating. Measuring 27” wide, it can easily transport most power chairs and mobility scooters. The Outlander is very easily installed and removed, making it perfect for switching from vehicle to vehicle. The Automatic Electric Carrier by EZ Carrier is an economical alternative that maintains the high quality of our other vehicle lifts. Available for Class II and Class III vehicle hitches, this lift is incredibly easy to install and requires literally zero maintenance.
