Sites using Tramper Buggies

The following list is of public sites, stately homes and parks where Trampers can be hired. They were chosen because Trampers are renowned for their reliability, long battery life, and ability to go uphill and down dale. When you have driven one you might think of having your own, so call us on 01794 884766 and we can explain the Tramper benefits. Talking of reliability the Tramper on the left in the picture below was built as a prototype in 1998, but has been in use every day since then! During its lifetime it’s been up a Welsh mountain, the Eifle mountains in Germany, and even round the famous Nurburgring racing circuit. Dunwich Heath (Suffolk) Dunwich Heath (IP17 3DJ) is a National Trust site in Suffolk on the Westleton Heath National Nature Reserve. It currently has 2 Trampers, you can call them on 01728

Which Is Best, Three Wheels Or Four ?

Choosing Between Our Three Wheel Or Four Wheel Mobility Scooters. This really is a matter of individual preference, some people feel at home with three wheels and some feel more comfortable with four. They both have their place. There is a common preconception that all three-wheelers are unstable, but to put this into perspective a bicycle is unstable, it falls over if you do not hold it upright or if it is not moving. So knowing bicycles “quirks”, we adapt and happily carry on riding them. A three-wheeler has its own characteristics. Three-wheelers are more manoeuvrable, have lighter steering, and in the case of the Tramper TWS a better range (because they are lighter and in consequence can carry more batteries). They do require more awareness and care, but in return offer a more spirited and involving, fun drive and they more than equal

Understanding Range

How Far Will A Tramper Mobility Scooter Go On A Charge? Understanding The Tramper’s Range There are several factors that can adversely affect the range of the Tramper These can be divided into two categories: 1. Use of power 2. Amount of power available from batteries Use of power: factors that affect the use of power are: gradient, load, type of surface, tyre pressures etc anything that causes the motor to work harder. Typically a Tramper with a warm axle ( it takes about 20 mins to fully warm an axle) on a flat ideal surface will draw around 15-16 amps. Gradients will have more effect than anything else and this will be coupled to the weight of the user. When climbing a slope the motor still has to propel the machine as if it was on the flat, plus it has to lift

Costs of charging your Tramper

How Much Does It Cost To Charge My Tramper Simple Answer In normal day to day use, not discharging below 50%, it is likely to use less than 1 unit ( Kwh) to recharge the batteries. At 10p/unit this will cost less than 10p. (From your electricity bill you will find the price /unit you pay, probably between 8p-20p/unit, divide this by 10 and then multiply by the 10p cost to arrive at your cost.) Once the batteries are recharged the cost to leave the charger on maintaining the batteries will be equivalent to between one and two watts and over a 24 Hr period that will amount to less than 0.048Kwh so at 10p/unit it will cost 0.48p. (£1.75 / Year!) To achieve optimum battery life it is beneficial not to discharge below 50% routinely. If the batteries are fully discharged it will
