TGA are a nationwide supplier of quality mobility scooters that continues to be a leading advocate of the Disabled Ramblers. The Disabled Ramblers are a charitable organisation that co-ordinates over 30 countryside rambles per year, in various locations nationwide and attracts approximately 500 disabled participants per annum. Each ramble is carefully pre-planned and graded according to terrain, so mobility scooter users can chose routes that fall within their own ability. Each ramble attracts around 20+ riders with additional supporters and the TGA Supersport mobility scooter , with its proven off-road capabilities, is a popular choice at these events. Members pro-actively campaign for improved countryside access by encouraging the removal of inaccessible man-made barriers whilst preserving the character of the natural environment.

Father of 10-year-old son Mitchell, Paul found his time in the Army thoroughly rewarding and was a drummer in the Corps of Drums band. However he was forced to take early retirement due to knee problems and subsequently his mobility has become severely restricted from other issues. Paul has undergone several major back operations in an attempt to relieve pressure on his spinal cord however he still experiences continual pain. This coupled with difficulties walking, has led to Paul seeking a mobility scooter that would give him independence outdoors. He was also desperate to access his local countryside once more however with restricted mobility, this was simply not possible without a suitable scooter with off-road capabilities. Plus with his height at 6'6", Paul found it impossible to source a suitable scooter that would accommodate him until he discovered the TGA Breeze.
