  • Baths and Helpful Products for Bath Time!
  • Stair Lifts – don’t feel cut off from half your house
  • Cosyfeet – New on More Than Mobility

Baths and Showers

We all know that the world divides into Bath people and Shower people.  As mobility becomes restricted many people sadly think that the days of a nice soak in the bath are over.  But before you go down that route have a look at the wide range of products that can help you keep on enjoying the tub.  If it’s just a bit more support that is needed then have you considered installing grab rails or perhaps a bath lift?  Bath Lifts come in lots of options from ones that don’t need any installation right through to full installation models. 

If you need a Walk in Bath then we have a quality range for you to consider and if you haven’t looked at them before we think you will be surprised at how much the walk in bath designs have come on in the last few years.  There are even ones that really take into consideration households with both shower and bath lovers by providing a low entry door (Duet Walk In Bath).  The Duet Walk in Bath even comes with an optional 16 jet spa system!

There is a wide range for you to have a look at by clicking here.  Once you have had a look just call one of our team for advice – we’ll be happy to help. 

Stair Lifts

We often chat with customers who are considering installing a stair lift at some point in the future. The stair lift prices we show on our website are illustrative as each installation has to have a site survey before we can issue a firm quote – all stairs are different and your home has to be surveyed in order to ensure that the right model and installation can be quoted.  Our free quotes are on a no obligation basis.

If you want a quote now, even if it will be a while before you want to go ahead that is absolutely fine – we understand that these are large purchases and it is helpful to have a proper quote to help you make a decision or plan your budget.  So do call if you would like a quote – just talk to the team on 0800 046 3949.  The good news is that when you want to go ahead we are usually able to arrange very quickly – our record is same day – or settle on a date in the future that works for you.

Cosyfeet – Now Live on More Than Mobility

Extra wide, extra deep and extra roomy shoes, boots and slippers from Cosyfeet.

We are delighted to announce that we have become a Cosyfeet stockist.  You can order directly through MoreThanMobility.com by clicking here. 

We have chosen Cosyfeet because their products are high quality and they offer a great service.  We first encountered Cosyfeet when one of our team was ordering for her mum who had an attack of gout and Cosyfeet were a real life saver.  Mum, who is a smart dresser, absolutely did not want to have to go out in slippers but her normal shoes were just too painful.  With a set of Cosyfeet slippers for indoor and boots for getting out and about she was able to get around much better and with a lot less pain. So if you need a wider fitting shoe or straps with extensions to cope with bandages etc., then Cosyfeet is a great range to consider.  They have really considered how to make their shoes comfortable whatever options you might need.  And it’s hard to feel good if your feet are hurting.

Mobility Roadshow + NEW improved Insurance & Extended Warranty Products

Monday, August 23rd, 2010 by morethan

Firstly, sorry for the delay in updating our blog but what with summer holidays things have been a little busy.     We promise going forward to keep you up to date on a more regular basis.

Mobility Roadshow – New Products

As we put on our blog last month, we thoroughly enjoyed our busy few days at the Mobility Roadshow in Peterborough on 1st – 3rd July.  I was there on Friday 2nd July, which was apparently quieter than the first day and I had some opportunity to wander round.

Two of our main suppliers had stands, Electric Mobility and Roma Medical.  Electric Mobility’s founder, Mike Flowers, was over from the US – he has 27 years of experience of the industry which comes through clearly in the care they take with their product design – for him (as for us) , the show is a great opportunity to find out from customers what they want from the products and as an example he explained how a discussion with a customer last year, who had tipped over on a three wheel scooter, had led to the introduction of the Balance and then the new Micro Balance.  These two mobility scooters benefit from the manoeuvrability of three wheelers but have the added stability of two additional stabiliser wheels.

Roma Medical had their stunning new Sorrento mobility scooter on display – this is again an interesting insight into the product development process.  At Naidex in April, Roma showed samples of the Sorrento, which is a stylish new 4 mph mobility scooter with a 20 mile range and dismantles easily for transportation.  It got a great reception but Roma found a couple of little niggles so whilst they really wanted to get it to market, they had delayed full production of the Sorrento until they were happy that these niggles had been resolved.  The Sorrento is now available to buy -  please call us on 0800 046 3949 for our special launch price offer!

As it was a mobility show, there were a number of stands demonstrating all the different ways cars can be re-designed to take wheelchairs.  It was a pleasure to meet James from Adapted Car Hire (www.adaptedcarhire.co.uk/) – based in London, they offer a country wide car hire service for disabled drivers and passengers.  With a variety of different cars and minibuses, this seemed a very useful service for people coming either from overseas or for people wanting to take friends or relatives with special needs on trips.  Prices are apparently competitive with other (non-adapted) hire companies.

NEW improved Insurance & Extended Warranty Products

Now onto some of our news…..We are now offering 3 months FREE mobility scooter insurance whenever anyone either buys a new mobility  scooter or powerchair from us or when they take out a mobility scooter insurance policy for a year or more – so you get 15 months cover for the price of 12!  At just £65 a year for mobility scooter insurance (that’s less than 18p a day or just 13p when you add in the extra three months) we would highly recommend that you all take this offer.

The cover it gives you includes:

  • full public liability insurance, so that if you were unfortunate enough to damage someone or someone else’s property, whilst on your scooter, you will be free of any risk
  • you can leave your scooter unattended for up to an hour (as long as you take the key out) and you are covered in case of theft (so if you want to leave it outside a shop and walk round the shop, you can do so)
  • you have access to a recovery service, which is free for all faults except battery or tyre problems (if you take the Plus Insurance at £90 a year, that includes free recovery in all circumstances)

and of course it also includes all the standard protections from accidents and theft.

Discounts are available for policies of more that one year – see our insurance pages for more details or call us on 0800 046 3949.

We are also offering extended warranty cover – all our new scooters come anyway with a full 12 month cover in case of mechanical problem and you can extend that for up to 4 more years so that in case of breakdown or mechanical failure you can easily get help – see our extended warranty pages for more details or call us on 0800 046 3949.

Finally we are now offering insurance for manual wheelchairs for just £20 a year.  This gives you the peace of mind that you are covered for any accident you are involved in, whilst in your wheelchair.  For full details please click here.

Best wishes

Peterborough Mobility Roadshow

Friday, July 9th, 2010 by morethan

More Than Mobility had a stand at the Mobility Roadshow which was held last week in Peterborough.  We knew it was going to be big but were still overwhelmed at just how much was on show.  The organisers say that it is the “world’s most comprehensive event of its kind” and it really did seem that way.   With over 150 mobility related exhibitors it was a fantastic opportunity to contrast and compare features and pricing.

The range went from every possible type of mobility daily living aid right through to mobility specialist cars with mobility scooters, power chairs, beds and rise and recline chairs in between.

When the show opened our stand, which had been lovingly set up and laid out by Elaine, the neat freak of the More Than Mobility Team, were suddenly 10 deep with people and the whole first day passed by at incredible speed.  The stand never looked so neat again with mobility scooters and powerchairs often having groups of customers trying them out and discussing the finer points together.   For us it was fantastic to meet with so many people, discuss their needs and have the opportunity to have such a wide range on display.  As always in the mobility sector everyone was sharing their experiences and preferences with us and with other customers so it was hugely rewarding.

We were selling all our products at the same price as our Internet prices – obviously our costs are higher when we attend an event because we have transport and stand fees to add on.  We know that our mobility products at More Than Mobility Everyday Internet prices are keenly priced and we had great feedback from people visiting the stand – can we also just say thank you to the customers who have written with such nice comments – our team really appreciated the positive feedback which is such a motivator for all of us.

We also had quite a few people saying that there was not enough seating around the show so we are passing on that feedback to the organisers for future shows.

If you are thinking about attending a mobility roadshow in the future here’s some thoughts.  It was incredibly busy on the first day so although everyone did get to see what they wanted it was busy and crowded on the stand.  It was a great buzz but you might want to come day 2 or 3 if you prefer it slightly less noisy!  Remember too if there is something specific you want to see or you want to collect a previous purchase on the day we are always happy to reserve a slot for your demo or take a purchase to the show ready for you to collect at an agreed time.  Just give us a call on 0800 046 3949.

Popular Products

For the More Than Mobility team it was the debut of the Micro Balance portable mobility scooter priced at £550.  It was so popular we even sold out of our entire stock!   But don’t worry there are more Micro Balance portable mobility scooters coming so if you would like to order just give us a call on 0800 046 3949

Our Managing Director David will be in touch soon with some updates on other products that we saw at the show.   But for now a big thanks to everyone who visited the stand and made our three days there so busy and interesting!

And finally we ran a prize draw on the stand and £50 of M&S vouchers are winging their way to one of our visitors who is a local to Peterborough – congratulations!

Best wishes

Our New Website

Sunday, June 20th, 2010 by morethan

Welcome to More Than Mobility.  Our website has recently been re-designed to make it easier to view our wide range of mobility products and equipment.  We hope that you will find the new layout easier to use and we have included more information and photographs to help you get to see more of the mobility product ranges.

Product Ranges

Our aim is to bring you all the large products you might need such as mobility rise and recline chairs, mobility scooters, wheelchairs or electric adjustable beds but also to build up a range of daily living aids that can make a difference to everyday life by helping with the little things that can reduce the niggles that we all feel when what used to be easy is now much more of a hassle. 

From overbed tables, reachers to swivel pads to pop into the car for easy getting in and out – we actually source over 4,000 items.  With the new website however we have drastically reduced the range on display so that the most popular items are easier to find. 

We’ll be adding to the range of daily living aids over time but please do call us if you have a particular item in mind or a problem that needs solving – the team are used to sourcing just the right daily living aid so just call on 0800 046 3949.

To celebrate the launch of the new website we have some great offers:-

  Wizzard Mobility Scooters in stock now – £379 if you purchase online, £399 by phone).  Easy to store as it has a stand for storing on its end.

  Strider ST 1  Portable Mobility Scooter – brand new and just in stock  for just £399. Amazingly this portable mobility scooter disassembles into 5 pieces – unheard of at this price!

  One of our best sellers – the Sterling Diamond 8mph road legal mobility scooter – such a favourite with customers – still only £1,299.

  Lars Leather Rise and Recline  – lots of colour options available in stock now for only £549!

And finally,  if you find any problems with the site or have suggestions please just give us a call on freephone 0800 046 3949 or email us on info@morethanmobility.com. We will really appreciate any ideas, feedback or error finding!

With very best wishes
