TGA , the trusted UK specialist in mobility scooters, will be introducing its new compact Zest and Zest Plus car boot mobility scooters as part of its largest product launch ever at  Naidex  (Stand A59 and Test Track, 28-30 March 2017).

The latest evolution in pioneering folding mobility scooters from  TGA , the new faster 6mph Maximo Plus, will be launched alongside four other new TGA products at Naidex 2017 (Stand A59 and Test Track, 28-30 March 2017).
