Aixam Range

We are delighted to announce that Berrybrook Compacts are the Main Dealer for the Aixam range of vehicles in the South West.

Aixams lightweight, easy to drive vehicles are currently the only quadricycles to be accepted onto the Motability scheme, which provides personal transport for those in receipt of the higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance or War Pensioners Mobility Supplement.

An Aixam is a distinct proposition from a car, weighing only 500kg, and having an in-line two-cylinder Kubota engine. The body itself is ABS acrylic on an aluminium chassis, so it is dent and rust resistant.This all adds up to a vehicle that feels very different from a conventional car, but which offers a number of distinct advantages that some drivers prefer easy handling and a fuel consumption figure of around 80 miles to the gallon are chief of these.

Aixam describes its appeal to mobility-restricted drivers by saying: "Our vehicles have a lot to offer disabled drivers the doors are large and easy to manoeuvre into and out of, and the latest models also have a hatchback with a low lip which makes it very easy to load mobility aids into the back".
