How to Break a World Record on a Mobility Scooter

Steve Tarrant, 51 from Poole in Dorset, in association with TGA, the leading mobility scooter specialist, is now a new world record holder after travelling the furthest distance ever in 24 hours on a mobility scooter at the 2012 Mobility Roadshow (Peterborough Arena) whilst battling extreme track conditions and weather. Steve Tarrant is an inspirational less able motorsport marshal who survived a highly publicised near-fatal crash incident at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2000. He marshals at around 30-40 motorsport events per year such as the Le Mans 24 Hours, Petit Le Mans at Atlanta and Goodwood meetings. Steve lost a leg above the knee and suffered multiple injuries when an F1 racing car collided with him at over 100mph whilst marshaling on the finish line at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Steve managed to miraculously pull through following this terrible accident and has now just established a new Guinness World Record™ on a TGA Breeze S4 mobility scooter.  Read more here...http://www.tgamobility.co.uk/2012/06/25/tga-and-f1-crash-surviving-steve-tarrant-smash-24hr-scooter-world-record-at-mobility-roadshow-2012

Nominate your favourites for the design zone cool wall!

Mobility Roadshow 2013 is nearly here, and we need YOUR help please with ideas for the Cool Wall product feature at the show. Our interactive Design Zone provides the rare chance for visitors to meet designers, innovators and people who have a bright idea to help make life that little bit easier for those living with disabilities. It’s your chance to have a say about the future design of products for independent living and mobility. As part of this, we’d like to ask you to nominate your favourite or most desired products to go on the Design Zone’s Cool Wall, and we’ll ask visitors to vote for the best. The product doesn't have to be new – it can be something that you've enjoyed for years, or that you bought yesterday, or would love to own to help make day to day living that bit easier. We want to build a picture of the nation’s favourites with your help, and recognise those who come out tops! To nominate your favourite product: email us at [email protected], with just a few sentences about what it is, why you love it, and where you can get it (if known). If you can send a photo, even better. We’ll add them to the Cool Wall at the Mobility Roadshow and visitors can vote for their favourites. The winning company or designer will be announced as this year’s Coolest Design Zone Product winner. The Design Zone at the 30th anniversary Mobility Roadshow is curated by Enabled by Design and Such and Such Design, and sponsored by Autoadapt.

You can also nominate a gadget or product as a note and I will pass it on :-)
