British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) member TGA, which supplies a wide range of mobility equipment, will be unveiling a new mobility scooter at Naidex 2024, the WHILL R.
This year’s Naidex takes place on 20 and 21 March at the NEC in Birmingham. TGA will be exhibiting on stand H110, where attendees will be able to get a first look at the new scooter.
The WHILL R is available in a smart scooter package with three- or four-wheel versions. It is designed to enable a diverse range of indoor and outdoor activities with a “fresh look”.
Inside, zero turn technology is a big plus, and outside, active suspension and high ground clearance mean stable driving over kerbs, grass, and gravel.
If owners use a car, then WHILL R quickly dismantles for the boot, and the lithium battery can be charged separately. Travelling by bus, train, or plane is equally as straightforward.
On arrival, there is10 miles of range with battery levels that are easy to see. The WHILL R further incorporates responsive controls and supportive seating.
Alongside launching WHILL R, TGA will also be demonstrating a selection of its established products on the stand, with new indoor and outdoor rollators. Scooters, powerchairs, wheelchairs, and wheelchair powerpacks will be available for test drives.
Visitors will also be able to try TGA’s new range of rise and recline chairs, Retreat and Retreat Plus. There will also be launching the latest walking aids range, including rollators Rollbuddy and Seata.
