Despite his target audience, Dr. Theodore Geisel (aka Dr Seuss), manages to teach us adults much about travelling and following our dreams. The wanderlust to travel, explore foreign lands and appreciate the world around us is an innate necessity. And wheelchair ramps make this an exciting possibility for anyone with restricted mobility.  ‘You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...’ [Dr Seuss] A physical disability, or being confined to a wheelchair, should never disqualify you from Dr Seuss’ sentiment or invitation for an adventure. Furthermore, restricted mobility should never be a reason or excuse to stop travelling. Lightweight and portable wheelchair ramps have completely transformed travel plans for those who are wheelchair-bound or have mobility limitations. Shoprider’s mobility scooters,...

‘The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one.’ [Erma Bombeck] Most women will understand Erma Bombeck’s sentiment. That is the point of retail therapy. And when it comes to Hardware shops, men, too, can relate. This is where a SHOPRIDER mobility scooter makes life easy and convenient.

In the words of C.S.Lewis: ‘You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.’ But perhaps living your life has nothing to do with age. We believe that life can begin with a mobility scooter. Life has a peculiar way of unexpectedly throwing unwelcome challenges along our path. But these challenges can often become the opportunity to adapt, grow and keep moving forward.
