ECO TRAVEL MAKES A DREAM HOLIDAY A REALITY
Guido Le Lorrain recently returned from the holiday of a lifetime which was made possible thanks to his Rehasense Eco Travel. Following neck surgery in September 2023, Guido had a fall at home which resulted in a spinal cord injury and today he can walk short distances with the aid of crutches but still uses a manual wheelchair when out and about.
It was at an Invictus Active roadshow that Guido first discovered the Rehasense range of powered add-ons when he saw the Eco Assist and he was immediately impressed. “The Eco Assist is a great piece of equipment and the new independence it gave me combined with being able to enjoy trips to the local shops and days out with my wife Zuzka and friends without anyone having to push me was great” commented Guido.
Guido and Zuzka had always dreamt of a holiday in Thailand and when they were told about the launch of the Eco Travel, they immediately placed an order. “As a wheelchair user travelling abroad can have its challenges, but the Eco Travel changes everything. The transportation case is brilliant as it completely protects the unit, and the air safe battery means the airlines have no issue with it”. Guido and Zuzka spent a week in Bangkok where they visited the Grand Palace, Icon Siam shopping mall, Space and Time Cube, the Digital Art Museum and the Chao Phraya River Hop-On Hop-Off boat, to name a but a few. This was followed by a week in Hua Hin. “It was very hot and pushing a wheelchair is no fun for anyone but with the Eco Travel, we didn’t have to worry about that, and the impressive battery range meant I only had to charge once during the entire trip.
“Both the Eco models have made a real difference to my day-to-day life. The Eco Assist is great for getting out and about around the local area and can deal with different road surfaces with ease. Thanks to the Eco Travel, going on holiday is now stress free and I also use it a lot at home as it is so lightweight and can be easily put in the car. Both models are extremely well designed, and I would certainly recommend them to other wheelchair users looking for a powered add-on to help them live more independently at home or when travelling abroad” concluded Guido.
