Cycling testimonials from families:
Isobel's mum: "Just to say thank you
for the Colt Bike you sent to my daughter Isabel, she has had great
fun trying it out and now plans to take it to school so she can
catch up with all the other children. She uses a Kaye Walker most
of the time, but tires very easily, now she will be able to get to
all the difficult places with the help of her carer. A big
thank you for making my little girls life a little bit easier."
Ella's mum: "My daughter Ella is 3 ½ years old and
has a rare chromosome disorder called Angelman Syndrome. Amongst
other things, she has very low tone and is very floppy. Currently
she cannot walk although she can crawl and is starting to weight
bear. We have been out several times now and Ella
can't stop smiling whilst she is on it. Another
element of Ella's condition is that she is very
sociable - she loves to be out and about mixing with
other people. This tricycle is perfect for Ella in that it allows
us to take her out safely, allows her to have great exercise and
allows her to enjoy everything that is going on. We look forward to
the many years of pleasure we know we will have with Ella on her
Colt tricycle."
The D'Alesandro Family: "We would just like to
thank you so much for the trike. We were thrilled when we received
it, it is so beautiful and great care has been taken in making it,
right down to the bag on the back, the bell and the streamers on
the handlebars whicj makes it so specoal fo our daughter. We are
also so appreciative for the brilliant service we received! We will
definately recommend you as well as purchase our daughters bikes
from you in the future."

Rebecca's mum: "We have eventually christened
Rebecca's wonderful tricycle. She absolutely loves it. We would
like to send our thanks to everyone who made this wonderful gift
for Rebecca. It is doubly special now as Rebecca is having growth
problems which is making her mobility more difficult, so cycling is
wonderful physio as well as great fun. Thank you all again."
Testimonials from organisations
"When we launched our East Hampshire Cycling for All project, Quest
88 were incredibly helpful.
Neil and Rob assisted at our launch event by bringing along a
variety of Draisin demonstration models so we could decide which
cycles from the range would best suit our diverse range of
cyclists, some with learning difficulties and some with physical
impairments.
Our
users love the range of cycles we obtained from Quest 88. In
addition the guys at Quest 88 are always available to help with
advice on any issues that arise with our equipment".
