Ableworld's top tips to ensure maintained mobility and safety this Winter

This entry was posted in General February 7, 2022

This cold weather just keeps rolling in, the cold air just has a habit of coming back around. Winter can bring about times of great concern for your mobility and independence, but here at Ableworld, we have committed ourselves to ensure you have increased independence for as long as possible – even in the winter months.

We have a vast range of products to ensure just that:

Our Hurrycane Wide Base walking stick has a 3-point contact base providing maximum stability on the majority of terrains. The base also incorporates a 360-degree pivot head which allows the user full flexibility ad stability when turning. This cane will help get through the toughest weather and ensure your mobility isn’t tainted this winter.

It’s also important to say visible as the nights close in much faster now - we recommend the hi-visibility slipover scooter bag. This strong and durable bag ensures your visibility isn’t compromised when going outside in the dark. It is even waterproof to protect its contents from the inevitable rain which is a daily occurrence living in the UK.  

Motorised scooters are a highly effective way of staying mobile and not needing extra assistance this winter. And we know nighttime is the hardest time to stay safe – but even if you have to drive at night our recommendation for staying mobile is the Rascal 388XL, and it’s even fully fitted with a lighting kit so you can drive in dark, dull conditions. It’s narrow and compact for ease of manoeuvring. It also comes with a fully adjustable swivel seat which allows you to adopt the perfect seating position for your needs and the lift up tiller allows for easy transfer in and out of the seat. The wider tires allow you to travel more smoothly over uneven surfaces and snowy pavements. 

I hope some of these products and tips will help you through and make this month just a little easier – we have so many more products that can help you too, shop online or pop into your local Ableworld store to find out more, or just to browse our collection. We also have our winter sale on right now – so you can shop your winter mobility products at sale prices. But more than anything check the weather forecast before you venture outside, and plan your journey carefully.

Stay safe.
