Cairns is the Far North's main regional service hub and the tropical climate here is a real factor in equipment choice - batteries and controllers work harder in Cairns humidity than they do in southern cities and the annual wet season from December through April changes how equipment gets stored.
The flat Cairns Esplanade boardwalk and the Cairns Central precinct are genuinely well-suited to daily scooter and power-chair use. Further out, Trinity Beach and Palm Cove are flat coastal estates, Kuranda and the Atherton Tablelands sit up on the range and are much cooler and hillier.
Because our closest full-service base is in Melbourne, all Far North work is a delivered, in-home service - a technician brings the equipment, assembles it at your home, runs the handover on your own paths and takes the packaging away.
