Shoprider SA

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!

The innovative and practical design of portable wheelchair ramps has increased the independence, freedom of movement and overall accessibility for wheelchair and mobility scooter users, removing many obstacles and frustrating challenges they have to contend with as part of their daily lifestyle and routines.

Coming in a wide range of sizes, the lightweight design of a portable aluminium ramp makes it easy to use and simple to operate with no electrical or maintenance parts. The strength and durability of these ramps also make them an obvious choice.

Portable wheelchair ramps are a necessary investment and a versatile solution, making life just a little easier and giving wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility relatively unhindered access to homes, cars, and public places. General travel plans suddenly become viable and obstacle-free when factoring in these ramps.

For over 30 years, Shoprider has been one of the leading brands serving the South African market, offering a wide range of mobility scooters, wheelchairs, ramps and accessories to suit your unique and personal mobility needs. Spend some time on our blog page where we explore the exciting and unique benefits of wheelchair ramps.

The overcrowded world of mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs can be overwhelming. So how do you choose the right one? Ordinarily, we wouldn’t advise people to do as others do (because we’re big fans of individuality), but when you are considering a Shoprider mobility scooter or wheelchair, we make an exception. Instead of taking “the road less travelled”, you may want to follow in the footsteps of other buyers – to start, at least. Taking centre stage are 4 of the bestselling Shoprider mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs. They are popular for a reason, so let’s see what the fuss is all about!

Every decision and choice we make in life is preceded by questions and a process of due diligence - especially when it comes to spending money or making investments. Measured consideration is always a wise approach to ensure that what you buy is compatible with your needs. This takes time and research. If you are in the market for a mobility scooter, then searching for ‘mobility scooters South Africa,’ and asking the right questions are the first steps to get you going. We’re here to guide you through this process.

What is your opinion on purchasing a pre-owned mobility scooter right here in South Africa? Of overcoming the challenges that hinder your mobility, and stepping aboard a platform to regain your independence. 

Sunny South Africa is renowned for its diverse coastline (about 2400km), beautiful beaches, and wonderful weather. A day at the beach is easily accessible for most visitors, but not for the mobility impaired — especially those confined to manual and electric wheelchairs. Our constitution embraces complete inclusivity for one and all, and so it is exciting to see innovative measures emerging for wheelchair beachgoers.

At Shoprider we applaud such innovative measures to help overcome challenges that the mobility-impaired face. As suppliers of manual and electric wheelchairs, and mobility scooters since 1988, we are well acquainted with the day to day needs and demands of our customers.
