Our congratulations go out to Steve Tarrant after completing his 24 hour world record for the longest distance on a TGA Breeze mobility scooter. Before starting, the tyres were filled with TGA’s brand new puncture sealant, then pierced and remarkably Steve managed to achieve the distance with the tyres intact.

Steve Tarrant, 53 from Poole, riding the TGA Breeze S4 at Goodwood 2014 and meeting Lewis Hamilton at The Speedway Ring at Peterborough Arena 2012
Steve Tarrant, 53 from Poole, is a remarkable disabled motorsport marshal, who has achieved a new World Record at Goodwood Motor Circuit, Chichester, by driving a TGA mobility scooter the furthest distance ever in 24 hours.
Steve became disabled following a serious motorsport accident in 2000 that resulted in the loss of a leg and multiple injuries. He has managed to rebuild his life after this near tragic experience and continues to marshal internationally at events such as Le Mans 24 Hours and Petit Le Mans, Atlanta. Steve was also a medal bearing Games Maker during the Olympics and Paralympics that led to a Big Society Award from David Cameron.
Steve completed his epic world record challenge on Sunday 18th May at 6pm following 24-hours of driving a TGA Breeze S4 GT mobility scooter around a pre-determined course at Goodwood. Steve achieved a world record-breaking distance of 190.2 miles (306.1km) by driving through the night and completing over 1,800 laps of a 167m circuit, only stopping briefly for battery changes. Pending ratification, Steve will have smashed the current distance of 170.63 miles (274.60km) to officially hold a new Guinness World Record™ for ‘The Greatest distance covered in 24 hours by a mobility scooter’.
This awe-inspiring effort by Steve in terms of his determination and stamina, has been heightened further by the engineering achievement of TGA. Not only did the TGA Breeze deliver 100% reliability and extraordinary battery range, it completed the course with purposely-punctured tyres to demonstrate the effectiveness of TGA’s new sealant system. This pioneering solution can be pre-injected into any scooter with pneumatic tyres and seals the majority of punctures up to 6mm in the tread area. This optional protection system can be specified on all TGA scooters with pneumatic tyres and is available free to A-Class retailers.
Steve comments: “Firstly, I would to thank TGA Mobility and its onsite engineers for all their outstanding support; Goodwood Motor Circuit and Lord March for hosting the event; and all my dedicated pit crew. I am also appreciative of all the donations that have been received for my designated charity during the challenge – Macmillan Cancer Support. The last 24 hours have been truly unforgettable for me and ever though it was grueling at times, I never had any doubts that I would achieve this new world record.”
Steve continues: “This is the second time I have attempted the record and this experience has once again been a test of endurance. I have to say though the overall comfort, performance and stability of the Breeze scooter was impeccable as ever and the puncture sealant is absolutely unbelievable. To have driven over a bed of nails before the start and not experienced any loss of tyre pressure in 24 hours, proves how outstanding the TGA puncture sealant system is on many levels.”
Steve concluded: “After now completing the further distance ever for the second time, I am done with this world record. In the words of Steve Redgrave after winning his fourth rowing Olympic gold medal: ‘If you ever catch me near one of these again, shoot me’ – only joking! I now intend to focus on continuing to talk, present and educate regarding motorsport and disability whilst potentially planning a new world record attempt in 2015 – John O’Groats to Land’s End in the shortest time ever. I am currently looking for commercial sponsors so I can develop my plans further that ultimately are designed to raise awareness of disability and enhance equality.”
Daniel Stone, TGA’s Managing Director added: “On behalf of TGA, I would like to thoroughly congratulate Steve on this monumental achievement. Once again Steve has demonstrated steely determination whilst highlighting the market-leading reliability of our Breeze S4 mobility scooter and the phenomenal effectiveness of TGA puncture sealant. Thanks to Goodwood for working with us on this and I’m sure Steve will now go onto even greater success in terms of promoting achievement with disability.”

TGA is delighted to unveil the larger 4-wheel version of the pioneering ‘Minimo’, with the new folding 8mph ‘Maximo’! Thanks to our excellent continuing relationship with TGA we are now able to provide you with their newest mobility scooter.
The new Maximo promises to deliver even higher levels of consumer interest than those associated with its smaller predecessor, the Minimo. Introduction of the Minimo represented the beginning of a new genre of compact, folding car boot scooter that provides greater levels of transportability and flexibility. Its optional lightweight lithium battery (only 2.65kgs) is a true groundbreaking development that can be lifted by a single finger and continues to be available with the Maximo. The Maximo now builds on these outstanding fundamentals to provide a larger, 4-wheel version with greater 17.5 stone (115kg) user weight capacity and an even better driving experience. With more range, features and comfort, the Maximo now combines all the benefits of a collapsible car boot scooter with a larger standard 8mph model. The TGA Maximo can be folded into a compact size with a single, one-handed operation and requires no parts to be dismantled for storage. Despite its larger size, the Maximo can be easily stored in the boot of an estate car or 4×4 for wider owner freedom with no hassle at all. From high visibility, low energy LED lights to a fully adjustable, folding orthopedic seat, the Maximo combines an impressive range of characteristics – all engineered with a precision, quality finish.
The TGA Maximo will be available to customers this summer, prices to be announced soon!

After the launch of the TGA Minimo compact scooter at our showroom in Poulton le Fylde, we are delighted to announce a huge interest resulting in a press release to a local newspaper and THIIS trade magazine:
Fledgling Poulton-le-Fylde business ‘MobilitySure’ bucks challenging economy thanks to revolutionary TGA Minimo scooter
MobilitySure, a recently launched mobility showroom near Blackpool, continues to go from strength-to-strength despite tough times for retailers thanks to the new, innovative Minimo mobility scooter from TGA.
Guy and Anita Jenkinson established MobilitySure in Poulton-le-Flyde during March 2013. Both Guy and Anita are well known and respected in the local area as they were previous managers of Rawcliffe Hall Caravan Park and Country Club and a highly successful French catering outlet. Two years ago they started to search for a new commercial challenge and decided to set up a retail business that would support the local community. As the Lancashire region has an ageing population, the provision of mobility equipment seemed ideal. They spent several months researching the sector to find proven and trusted suppliers and concluded TGA was the leading brand for mobility scooters. Since introducing the TGA range of cutting edge scooters alongside their comprehensive selection of independent living aids, MobilitySure has managed to grow quickly and establish itself as a leading local specialist. The new pioneering, foldable Minimo mobility scooter from TGA has added to this success and ‘re-kindled Guy passion for selling.’
Guy explains: “We have been involved with businesses in the local area for nearly 20 years and are really enjoying our latest venture. It was always our aim to provide a service that gives something back to the community over and above selling products. Our range of TGA scooters will now help people regain their independence outdoors with the peace of mind that comes with choosing a proven, reliable brand. The new Minimo that TGA has just launched is a really cracking compact scooter that folds and fits into the boot of a car. This means people with restricted mobility can have freedom further afield when out for the day which not only assists users, but also helps family members too. It has an optional lithium battery that is so lightweight that lifting and storing the Minimo couldn’t be easier. Stocking other TGA models such as the Vita and Breeze has definitely helped our business get off the ground. TGA only supply products that are far better than competitors with design that’s one step ahead. Financing the launch of MobilitySure wasn’t easy despite our superb credit rating and reputation as banks are still reluctant to lend even after all the government initiatives. Having TGA onboard has given us the peace of mind that we have products that sell well and that our business will continue to grow.”
Guy continues: “We have always been passionate about looking after our customers. We thrive on spending time with them and chatting things through, as I think this is even more important these days with the Internet being so impersonal. Only by actively listening to customers during a conversation, can a retailer truly understand what is needed to improve a person’s lifestyle. Despite being so cutting edge, the new Minimo retrospectively reminds us of products from the ‘good old days’ that were built well, designed with real thought and use robust, strong parts. Seeing customers regain their independence on a Minimo is priceless to us and has definitely got us fired up! We have been shortlisted for a local business award and thoroughly look forward to working hard for the local community in the years to come.”
The 700sqft MobilitySure showroom stocks quality mobility product that are supported by professional advice and guidance. Guy and Anita work with an Occupational Therapist so that the correct product is always recommended to meet individual customer and they have a highly skilled engineer onsite for repairs and servicing.
Daniel Stone, TGA Managing Director concluded: “We congratulate Guy and Anita on their recent success. It is not easy to establish a high street business in these tough economic times and we are delighted to support them with our UK leading range of mobility scooters. They are clearly committed to caring for their customers thorough a personable approach, which is an attitude we encourage with all our nationwide retailers. We wish them good luck and as their chosen specialist scooter supplier, we will continue to develop pioneering products such as the Minimo so that future generations of end users regain care free independence.”
