Free wheelchair and rollator check scheduled at Rotkreuzplatz

Munich's Mobility Department scheduled a free wheelchair and rollator check at Rotkreuzplatz for Wednesday 14 October, from 10am to 4pm. No registration was required and there was no charge.

The check was intended for anyone whose wheelchair or rollator was not running smoothly or needed air in its tyres. Tyres, brakes and settings were to be checked for roadworthiness, with minor faults fixed on the spot. Staff were also to answer questions about individual wheelchair and rollator models. All models were welcome, including electric wheelchairs.

The Mobility Department's established bike check was scheduled to take place at Rotkreuzplatz on the same day.

The wheelchair and rollator check is a new service from the Mobility Department. It aims to promote safe, independent mobility and to support people who rely on wheelchairs or rollators. The department said that being mobile means being able to take an active part in city life.
