Katie Toft: Life with the Genie Ultralight Mobility Scooter
Monarch Mobility recently caught up with Katie Toft – Paralympian and nine-time Paracycling World Champion – to hear how she’s getting on with her new Genie Ultralight mobility scooter.
As a busy, active and social person, Katie values her independence. She explained how having her own mobility scooter means she can now get out and about without relying on others for support: “Having the scooter means that I can do things on my own without risking getting too tired or falling over”.
First impressions of the Genie Ultralight
One of the first things Katie noticed about the Genie Ultralight was its bold Union Flag design – the perfect match for her incredible spotting achievements! She also highlighted how comfortable the scooter was – especially the compact handles, which she found easy to hold.
And how did she rate her first ride on the mobility scooter? In her words: “Brilliant”. Katie was particularly impressed that the Genie Ultralight managed to climb the hill outside her home with ease – something other scooters had struggled to do.
More freedom, less stress
The new scooter has made a big difference to Katie’s daily life. As well as enabling her to get out more with her family, it’s made her race days less stressful and complicated – incredibly important when you need to focus on winning more medals!
Plus, thanks to its foldable and lightweight design (just 12kg), she’s finding it easy to fold down and pack into the car – giving her true flexibility wherever she goes.
Katie’s Advice
Katie offered some encouraging words for anyone unsure about using a mobility aid: “If it’s going to help you, then use one. Try not to worry about what other people think,” she said.
Her advice is simple: the right mobility aid can give you the freedom and confidence to enjoy life to the fullest.
