A New Lease On Life: The Motability Scheme

The Mobility Centre is about all things mobile, and the Motability Scheme allows wheelchair users to lease a wheelchair or mobility scooter at a fraction of the cost.  A new exciting option has been released on top of the standard Motability Scheme that allows customers to have a lightweight wheelchair in combination with their mobility car.

Having a lightweight secondary wheelchair will have significant benefits to your day-to-day life, especially when it comes to transporting your wheelchair in the car. Read on to understand the details of this new option, or if you are new to the scheme, you can find introductory information on the Motability scheme here. If you’d like to make the most out of your Motability Scheme car, let’s find out how this new wheelchair plan works.

How Does the Motability Scheme Work?

We offer the Motability Scheme because we understand how important being mobile is to our customers. There are two different manual wheelchairs that you will be able to choose from, both of which come with a self-propelled options. However, if you would prefer someone to push your wheelchair, you can opt for the assistant-propelled versions of the two wheelchairs.

Both wheelchair options are extremely lightweight and easy to transport, allowing for hassle-free mobility in and out of your Motability car. If you’re interested in leasing a wheelchair to accompany your new Motability Scheme car, please speak to your car dealer who will place the application for your chosen wheelchair at the same time as your car.

How Much Does It Cost To Lease A Wheelchair?

Leasing a wheelchair through the Motability Scheme requires the full payment cost up-front at the beginning of the car lease. However, you can rest assured that the full cost, in this case, is only £100 compared to the average full price of around £500 per wheelchair.

The cost of the wheelchair will be paid upfront to the car dealer and will then be delivered with your new car. Both the wheelchair and the car will be covered for any maintenance problems during the lease period and once the lease has terminated, you simply return the wheelchair along with the car back to the dealership.

Using the Karma Ergo Lite 2 Manual Wheelchair

Of the several wheelchairs that you can lease with the Motability Scheme, the Karma Ergo Lite 2 is one of the popular choices that we stock. Weighing just 10.5kg, the Ergo Lite 2 has detachable footrest hangers which will provide a safer journey for the user.

With the Karma Ergo Lite 2’s endless benefits, it’s easy to understand why it has become so beloved by our customers. To discover the marvels of this wheelchair for yourself, visit the Karma Ergo Lite 2 store page and apply for a test drive today.

  • Ordered a folding shower seat with 2 grab bars in the morning and these were delivered to me in the afternoon of the same day - that is what I call service. However the following day a further 2 Grab Bars were delivered and the co said that they would collect these the same day - still waiting after 1 week and another call - not so good and still waiting. A point that the co should consider is that we are finding it difficult to get someone to fit the shower seat and they are unable to provide any guidance or help. would suggest that they collect names and telephone numbers of local tradesmen who are trusted to fit their mobility equipment and provide guidance on fitting

  • Called into the shop for a shower chair for an elderly relative. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They didn't have the one I needed so I was offered the option of ordering in store or online. I ordered on line and the chair was delivered 2 days later. Fabulous service.I would recommend the Mobility Aids Centre. Thank you!

  • Fantastic service, I order a Bathmaster Deltis bath chair lift on the 18/08/2015 and using the standard delivery system it was delivered to my house the following day. The chair works very well, it comes packed in the manufactures original box, battery ready charged for instantaneous use and at a very competitive price. Very good performance all round.

  • I was looking for a buggy for adults and the one I purchased named Troy. was excellent, I can put it up & down in seconds. The wheels are superbly easy to turn with. My husband says it is very comfortable and the black leather with red piping is very smart. When folded up there is a padded grip in the middle of the frame, which is perfectly balanced to lift it in and out of cars etc. a wonderfully strong but light wheelchair.
