We've put together a checklist below of some of the things you should consider before and during a vehicle demonstration, to help you decide whether a particular WAV is right for you.

Request a demonstration

    When choosing your next vehicle, you should think about any changes over the next few years which could affect the suitability of the vehicle and consider your ongoing needs and requirements.

    It goes without saying, but it's essential that the wheelchair user is present at the demonstration itself. You'll want to assess the suitability of the restraints, the comfort of the ride and the entry height - and of course make sure it meets your needs and preferences.

    It's also a good idea to have as many people present as possible who will be using the vehicle to get a feel for the vehicle's functionality, space and convenience.

    What do I need to know before my WAV demo?

    • Including height, width, depth and weight.

    Wheelchair weight can have an effect on the type of wheelchair restraints you will require, which may also impact the type of WAV that will be suitable. Do not worry, our sales team will do all of these calculations for you once we have established your requirements.
