Other adaptions may include wheelchair hoists and a number of variable seat modifications.

The Motability scheme enables disabled people to lease a new car, scooter or powered wheelchair, and as of September 2017, according to the National Audit Office, there were 614,00 lease agreements in place. This represents a valuable and much needed sector of the market, and G.
