Adaptations | Lancashire | West Riding Hyundai

The Motability Scheme offers many special adaptations ranging from simple driving controls to hoists that lift a wheelchair user into a standard car. All Motability adaptations are designed to help make driving or travelling as comfortable as possible.

Motability adaptations that are available fall into three general categories; Driving, Stowage or Access.

Driving adaptations help a disabled person to drive where it would otherwise not be possible and assist speed control, steering and signalling.

Steering aids
Remote control devices
