New to Forbes Rentals: The Shoprider Girona Mobility Scooter

We’re delighted to announce the latest addition to the Forbes Rentals mobility scooter range – the Shoprider Girona, a premium Class 3 road scooter designed to provide excellent comfort, stability and independence on longer journeys. Before any new product becomes part of our rental range, however, there is an important job to do: making sure our team knows the equipment thoroughly. Pictured outside our head office and main depot in Surrey, our sales advisors have been receiving comprehensive hands-on training on the new Girona, getting to know its controls, adjustments, safety features and driving characteristics.

Why product training matters at Forbes Rentals

When someone contacts us about mobility scooter rental, we believe our responsibility goes much further than simply supplying a scooter. Customers rely on us to help them find equipment appropriate for their individual circumstances and to make sure they understand how to use it safely and confidently. That requires our advisors to have comprehensive, practical knowledge of the products we provide. Hands-on training gives our team the opportunity to experience new equipment for themselves, understand its features and learn the details that can make a real difference when advising and supporting a customer.

Safety is also an essential part of our service. Forbes Rentals is a BHTA Approved Provider, and appropriate safety assessments form an important part of our mobility equipment rental process. Combining these assessments with comprehensive staff training and detailed product knowledge helps us provide a professional service focused on finding the right solution for each individual customer.

Meet the new Shoprider Girona

The Shoprider Girona is a top-of-the-range Class 3 mobility scooter, capable of travelling at speeds of up to 8mph with an impressive maximum range of up to 34 miles. Its heavy-duty construction accommodates users up to 35 stone 6lb, while full suspension and pneumatic tyres help provide a smooth and comfortable ride across varying surfaces. The swivel, sliding and height-adjustable seat makes getting on and off easier while providing excellent support and comfort on longer journeys.

The Girona also offers an excellent selection of practical and safety features, including a seatbelt, adjustable tiller, easy-to-use controls and dual-mode wig-wag lever. A full LED lighting system provides excellent visibility, while a convenient USB charging outlet allows compatible devices to remain powered while travelling. Combined with its generous range, substantial carrying capacity and comfortable ride, the Girona is a highly capable mobility scooter for customers looking to enjoy greater independence and confidence when getting out and about.

Nationwide mobility scooter rental with local support

Forbes Rentals provides mobility scooter rental nationwide across the UK, but we have always believed that national coverage shouldn't mean losing the personal service and responsive support associated with a local business. We have an expansive team of in-house engineers which means our customers benefit from the reach and convenience of a nationwide mobility equipment rental provider while still having knowledgeable people available to support them locally.

That local support becomes particularly important if something goes wrong. We provide a same or next-day breakdown response, helping to minimise disruption and get our customers mobile again as quickly as possible. From the initial enquiry and safety assessment through to delivery and ongoing engineering support, our aim is to provide a dependable service throughout the entire rental period.

First two months half price for new mobility customers

There’s also never been a better time to discover the Forbes Rentals service. We are currently offering the first two months at HALF PRICE for all new mobility customers.

Whether you need a mobility scooter for everyday independence, longer journeys, shopping and leisure, or because your mobility requirements have changed, our team can help you find a suitable option from our range. With nationwide delivery, safety assessments, trained advisors and ongoing support from our own locally based engineers, renting gives customers access to the equipment and support they need without having to purchase a scooter outright.

The arrival of the Shoprider Girona gives our customers even more choice, particularly those looking for a substantial and comfortable Class 3 road scooter with an excellent travelling range. And, as the photographs from our Surrey depot show, our team has been busy making sure they have the knowledge and practical experience to provide the advice our customers expect.
