The team and I look forward to discussing all aspects of mobility with Naidex visitors this year and feel proud to be launching the new Minimo and debuting the Vita X at this year’s event.”
The impressive portfolio of mobility scooters that will be on display from TGA includes –
NEW TGA Minimo
Responding to a market trend towards smaller, more compact models, TGA is introducing the new Minimo mobility scooter at Naidex National 2013 that will deliver pioneering levels of transportability, comfort and safety. The new Minimo is a revolution in compact, collapsible ‘car boot’ scooter design and has been developed in close collaboration between TGA and its specialist manufacturers. It represents one of the most advanced designs that folds and fits into the boot of a car and requires no parts to be dismantled for storage, with an overall weight of only a mere 27.3kg (60lbs). This revolutionary and straightforward folding mechanism is simply activated by a one-handed operation that requires the minimum of effort and is completed in seconds. This radically lightweight, yet robust mobility scooter combines the benefits of strain-free lifting for end users whilst providing impressive drivability and rider comfort. The ‘touch-contact’, optional lithium battery only weighs 2.65kgs (5.85lbs), which ensures users can offload it for charging with genuine ease.
NEW Vita X
Building on the significant success of fellow Vita models, the Vita X is a highly robust and reliable 8mph scooter with independent suspension on each front wheel. This delivers increased stability and safety when users are mounting pavements at angles or driving off-road, as each wheel can react independently to changes in ground surface. Exclusively available as the sporty black Edition with striking red flashes, the Vita X incorporates:
• Independent front suspension for even road surface contact and increased stability
• 28 stone user weight capacity
• Upgraded performance: 900w motor, 200amp controller and HD 75Amp batteries
• Ergonomic tiller with Delta handlebars
• Racing leather seat
• Robust, high-grip pneumatic off-road tyres and strengthened alloy wheels
• Energy saving mode
• Rear storage pocket and carrying bracket
• Anti-tip wheels and emergency braking
• Highly visible, tinted LED head lights, indicators and hazard warning lights
TGA Breeze S3 and S4
The Breeze brand from TGA has an established and respected reputation for providing exceptional reliability, comfort and build quality. Both the latest 3 and 4-wheel 12km/h (8mph) Breeze S3 and S4 models continue this superb heritage with the additional of several new features. These have been made possible by the latest advancements in TGA scooter engineering and include a unique, ‘BMW motorbike style’ optional rigid canopy. Modern aesthetics reflecting the direction of automotive design can be seen throughout the chassis mouldings and their full round suspension and shock absorbers have been re-engineered for an even smoother ride. These deliver industry-leading levels of stability and will ensure users weighing up to 130kg (330lbs) remain comfortable and in complete control even over uneven terrain. Similar to the technology incorporated in the Breeze Midi models, the Breeze S3 and S4 encompass energy absorbing bumpers for added safety and to minimise lateral movement whilst driving. The rear transaxle motor delivers all the power and performance expected from a TGA Breeze and can tackle a 9.5o slope with ease, which was clearly demonstrated in the BBC Top Gear extreme mobility scooter challenge.
TGA Breeze Midi 3 and 4
The Breeze Midi 3 and 4 encompass many impressive design features that provide market-leading comfort, reliability and safety. Building on the proven heritage of the popular larger Breeze models, these Midi versions incorporate eye-catching looks, a disc braking system, fully orthopaedic seat and energy absorbing front and rear bumpers. Their tillers include Delta ‘Wig Wag’ control levers and a gas sprung actuator which is easily adjustable for optimum ergonomic positioning for owners. For fast status recognition, the easy-to-read LCD control panels display all the relevant information users require in a simple format and a water-protected ignition switch enhances safety. If technical updates need to be uploaded or parameters change, then the onboard computer can be accessed via the charging socket.
The easily manoeuvrable Breeze Midi 3 encompasses full front and rear suspension which delivers a smooth, sturdy ride across both even and rough surfaces whether travelling at slow speeds or its top limit of approximately 12.8km/h (8mph). Powered by 2 x 50A batteries, the Breeze Midi 3 has a range of 50–55km (31.1–34.2miles), can drive safety up a 9.5% incline and an impressive ground clearance of 90mm (3.54”) which is ideal for driving off road in a more rural location.

All controls and handgrips are ergonomically designed and the luxury, padded seat provides daylong comfort.
