Luxury Mobility Vehicles

Although minivans are a popular choice among mobility vans users, a full size van can provide more interior space and headroom. For those that have specialty equipment or just want extra space, the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon Denali, Mercedes Benz or Cadillac Escalade full sized mobility van could be the perfect option. These mobility vans are considered luxury vehicles due to its customization, maximum space and variety of interior options. The Chevrolet can be equipped with leather seats, overhead cabinets, sofa, walnut dash trim and other features to meet your stylish needs.

Luxury transportation is not something you should have to give up when it comes to purchasing a mobility van. It is important that you keep your style. These stretch conversion vehicles are known for their extravagant features sparing no expense. They are completely customized for those who like to indulge. Some of the many optional features include moon roofs, captain chairs, satellite TV, special lighting, Xbox 360, granite counter tops and the list goes on. You don't need to give up the leather seats, tinted windows, or superior performance to have wheelchair accessibility. Live a life without limitations.

The customized features aren't the only things that make them unique they also come with a variety of lift options to make your life easier. The Ricon Slide-Away Lift is known for its strength, safety and accessibility. When not in use the lift travels to the back of the vehicle providing optimal interior space and prevents obstruction from the side doors. The mobility van can also be equipped with the Ricon Uni-Lite. This is one of the lightest, smoothest and quietest lifts on the market. Its ease of use also makes it one of the most popular. The Ricon Reliant and Ricon KlearVue are other options suitable for the luxury mobility van. While the Ricon Reliant is known for its compact design and reliability the KlearVue offers a unique folding design that eliminates blind spots and obstructed views leaving them both excellent additions to the mobility vehicles.

What about mobility trucks? Your mobility dealer should understand that a wheelchair accessible van may not be for everyone. They can provide both trucks and SUV's which have already had a conversion or we can modify your existing Truck or SUV to make it fully wheelchair accessible. Why would you drive a mini-van when you could drive a truck? For years, wheelchair users have not had the option to drive a 4 x 4 truck.

Various Hand Controls For Disabled People Part I

For disabled drivers, the ability to get back behind the wheel is an important part of restoring the sense of freedom. Finding the right hand controls for cars or handicap vans can help you get back on the road safely. With a little time spent shopping you can end up with the ability to go where you want to, when you want to. 

Menox Hand Controls

The Menox Hand Control is specifically designed to give physically limited drivers the benefit of control and ease when driving a vehicle. Driving becomes an easy and enjoyable experience with Menox. The hand control is designed to be used by the right hand as in traditional shifting. The Hand Control operates in one straight and ergonomic range of motion so that accelerating and braking are distinctive and easy to use in the flow of traffic. Pushing forward engages the brake and easing back accelerates. Thanks to Menox's advanced design, each control is ergonomic, conforming to a person's natural hand-wrist arm motion. The function buttons are situated in a logical safe place and engineering has simplified the range of the Menox Hand Control; pushing forward to brake, pulling back to accelerate.

MPS Hand Controls

The MPS-1A is often recommended by rehabilitation driving specialists because it uses a natural method for brake and accelerator movement. It is almost a "must" for a person with severe hand and wrist weakness. The MPS Monarch-1A is a smooth operator, offering miles and miles of relaxed driving. The brake is applied by pushing the operating handle toward the brake pedal. Moving the handle toward the driver seat activates the accelerator. The brake and accelerator may be operated separately or simultaneously. Installation of the MSP-1A requires a minimum modification to the vehicle. It may be used for either right or left hand operation. It does require an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes.

906GVQR Quick Release Electronic Accelerator Ring

The new Guido simplex Detachable Quick-Release Accelerator Ring hand control mounts easily over any steering wheel, and with a push of a button, detaches just as easily. Gently push the ring towards the steering wheel to accelerate. The pressure remains constant at any speed. The 906 Accelerator Ring allows you to keep your hands on the wheel in a comfortable and natural position requiring very little effort and will not interfere with airbag deployment. An incredibly convenient switch provides power to either the accelerator ring or the gas pedal, allowing able-bodied drivers to drive the vehicle. All installations are performed with minimal intrusion to the vehicle's operating systems.

907FV Mechanical Brake

This new Long-Arm 907FV brake lever incorporates a new revolutionary ergonomic system of mechanical braking. Made entirely of aluminum and coated with embossed rubber the 907FV brake lever perfectly integrates with the mobility vehicles interior without altering the look of the car. The forward braking functionality movement was ideally designed not to encumber and/or touch the legs of the driver. The rods to the brake pedal follow the contour of the console with no intrusion on the ingress or egress from the vehicle. This innovative design also features a "slide button" that will automatically lock the brake so hands are free to operate the gear lever. The additional two buttons on top of the lever are for the horn and for the adjustable idle parking navigation system.
