The TGA Minimo and the Minimo Plus are a revolution in compact, lightweight ‘car boot’ mobility scooter design. They are the most advanced, transportable designs that fold and fit into the boot of your car and require no parts to be dismantled for storage.
Whether you choose the highly popular, original Minimo or its more recent Plus version, both scooters can come with a pioneering, lithium battery that is so lightweight, you can literally pick it up with one finger, amazing! Ideal for taking in the car, on the bus or even further afield on a plane, each Minimo folds effortlessly in one, single-handed movement. When folded, the Minimo can be stored in a compact space and strain-free lifting is assured with its lightweight design. The battery can be easily removed for fast off-board charging so you can keep your Minimo in the car when at home for maximum convenience. Being able to take your scooter with your wherever you want, opens up a whole new world of independence. This clever design is also built with all the quality and reliability you would expect from the UK’s leading specialist, so peace of mind is assured. The TGA Minimo has a comfortable top speed of 4mph and a host of outstanding features for a stable and safe ride. It is easy to control and perfect around town with exceptional manoeuvrability in small spaces so shopping is no hassle at all. Despite its sleek compact design, the Minimo has a surprisingly high user weight capacity. It can easily accommodate a user weighing up to 115kg (252lbs) in comfort and the spacious floor well means your legs are not cramped when driving along. The ergonomic tiller means controls are effortless to operate and the orthopaedic seat is very supportive for your back. Travel locally or across the world with your Minimo, its ready when you are! So many individuals living with restricted mobility have already chosen the Minimo and experienced life changing benefits. Susan from Romford said: “What a difference my Minimo has made, I love it. Shopping has always been a big part of my life and now accessing Lakeside and Bluewater is no bother at all. We keep the Minimo in the car and when we go out we simply take it out, unfold and go. Driving around shops is hassle free and being able to go out on your own terms is brilliant.” If you prefer a car boot scooter that has even more features and your budget it a little more flexible, the Minimo Plus is the one to choose. It includes all the amazing Minimo features loved by the nation, however it has larger pneumatic tyres and a more powerful motor for an enhanced driving experience. The Minimo Plus also has an integrated light to keep you safe if venturing out on winter evenings and independent, active suspension for a smoother, superior ride. Both the folding Minimo and the Minimo Plus offer you the best of both worlds – countless big scooter features and top-notch comfort all in a folding, compact design. Wherever you want to go…fold and go, go, go with the Minimo!

Peter has lived in the Burnley area most of his life and before retiring was a successful long distance coach driver. For over 40 years he drove school children and holidaymakers around mainland Europe regularly working in countries such as Switzerland, Austria, Spain and France. He thoroughly enjoyed meeting the challenges of this job role however today he is responsible for managing Burnley's Shop Mobility with several other volunteers. This is a registered charity that provides mobility scooters, wheelchairs and other disability equipment for hire in and around the Burnley area. As a volunteer, Peter spends a large percentage of his time at the loan store providing independence to locals who may need a mobility product for a few hours, a day or longer. This charitable organisation is non-profit and despite his own mobility difficulties, Peter works tirelessly to raise donations so that this essential service can continue. His ability to manage the Shop Mobility store has recently been assisted two-fold by the scooter manufacturer, TGA, thanks to Peter's ownership of a new TGA Vita Lite and donation of free Superlight to the loan fleet.
