Though the corporate doesn’t specify that the TECTUS is just for seniors, Avvenire made a number of references to that facet not too long ago, saying:

“With the growing old inhabitants being the biggest demographic, there’s a rising want for year-round transportation. Nevertheless, mobility scooters have lagged behind different autos by way of innovation over the previous 20 years. Avvenire is revolutionizing the mobility scooter trade with its cutting-edge Tectus Mobility Scooter.”
