Motability Adaptations
Keeping those with disabilities mobile, the Motability Scheme offers a range of cutting-edge vehicles to lease, along with a host of adaptations to tailor the vehicle to the users exact requirements. This makes driving easier, more comfortable and a lot safer.
Adaptations include hand controls, pedal modifications, stowage systems and access aids. Discover more about these useful adaptations on this dedicated page.
Adaptations
- Ideal for those who find using pedals difficult, due to their disability
- Replaces accelerator and brake pedal with a pull/push device which is operated by hand
- Can only be used with automatic gearbox vehicles
- Steering wheel ball recommended for hand controlled vehicles - making it easier to steer
- Ring or trigger accelerators attached to steering wheel also available
- Remote control devices for wipers and headlights also possible
- Modifications can be made for those who find the standard layout of the car difficult
- If mobility is restricted in right leg for example, a left foot accelerator can be fitted
- Pedal extensions also available for safer and easier operation of the vehicle
- Good for those who need to hoist a wheelchair or mobility scooter into their vehicle
- Either 2-way or 4-way hoists - depending on weight of your mobility aid
- These can take up considerable space, often needing seats to be folded - something to think about when choosing your vehicle
- Rooftop stowage units also available, if you need your boot for other storage purposes
- Transfer plates are available which are operated manually - self strength needed to lift in and out of the vehicle
