Hi All,

Im thinking of buying a heavy duty mobility scooter for 'off road' rambling. Ive used a Beamer Tramper, but have been looking at a TGA Breeze or the 3 wheeled TGA. Does anyone have any experience of these? Is it really worth paying about £2000 more for a Tramper?

any advice would be great, thanks,
shirley

    This is what you [ and every other right minded person ] needs, this particular one for the upcoming winter when wheelchair users are housebound [ed] by the English winter Shirl :D - one for each different need ! - Yeh ! I know OTT but any baghead taking the **** out of the disabled is easy meat & easily flattened.

    I have the Breeze 4 and I love it. I rented an older Tramper at Bedgebury (because I had heard they were good) but I still prefer my Breeze. I go over rough ground and hilly places no problem at all. People stop me all the time because they don't often see one and ask me lots of questions about it. I'm afraid it was the light blue colour that helped me make the final decision.

    I've also had a Breeze 3 before but I found it wasn't as stable as the 4 wheel version, especially if you are going 'rambling'..

    TGA often have some good offers on the Breeze, ex show models, and they will bring them to you and let you try them out.

    Can reccomend you speak to a guy called Steve at
    Mobility-Shops .Com , brilliant firm who supplied my wifes Scooter after talking through the various reasons she needed one for !
    And it was not the dearest , in fact , Steve saved us about £250 on our scooter chosen against a local shop !
    Highly Reccomended ! :money:
