The Firefly can reach speeds of up to 12mph but we can limit this for you to suit your child’s abilities and circumstances.

The Firefly is great fun and young people in particular get great enjoyment from the freedom and independence it can provide and the fact that wheelchair use can become fun is a unique novelty.
