When you live with any mobility impairment, basic accessibility – which would otherwise be taken for granted – becomes a key concern. At Shoprider, we have always taken this concern to heart. We’ve hunted down wheelchair-friendly destinations in Joburg and Pretoria and given you advice on how to make your home more wheelchair-friendly. But knowing places to go with an electric wheelchair is one thing; getting there can be another challenge altogether.

The hassle of climbing in and out of a vehicle can be a tricky experience - tempting even the bravest of hearts to stay at home! But take heart – with Shoprider’s car accessories, the world is freely open to you!

Having an electric wheelchair should not hold you back from living and exploring. Browse our vehicle products below and find the best solution for your mobility needs!

Hydraulic Lifts

Fitted at the back of a van or a bus or at a side sliding door, this Hydraulic Lift enables those with limited mobility to get into the vehicle without having to get out of their electric wheelchair. View here.

Simply park your wheelchair and let the hydraulic system lift you into the vehicle so that you can ride in easily. In case an electrical problem occurs, it comes with a manual override, making it a reliable travelling companion that will be there for you all the way!

Steering Wheel Spinner

A steering wheel spinner is your driving co-pilot, helping those with limited upper body strength or dexterity issues to manoeuvre the steering wheel with ease. Motorists can be free to drive comfortably and safely. View here.
