The TGA Minimo Plus is a compact, folding ‘car boot’ mobility scooter that includes a high level of specification for advanced transportability, flexibility and comfort. It can be folded single-handedly in seconds and does not need any dismantling for simple lifting and storage. When levering on a car boot bumper, users only need to lift 9.9kg so strain-free handling is assured for owners or carers. The folding seat can be removed if preferred and an optional lifting handle helps with faster and easier loading into a car boot. It includes an ultra-lightweight lithium battery as standard so off-board charging is strain-free. Its larger wheels with pneumatic tyres deliver a smooth and stable ride across more challenging terrain. As with all TGA products, the well-designed and engineered Minimo Plus delivers exceptional performance, assured reliability and utmost comfort.

The awards dinner was held at the prestigious 155 Bishopsgate Conference & Events Centre in The City of London. Read more.....
