Sjoerd has been riding in his Bi-Go since this spring. The perfect solution for him, but the municipality thought differently. “The municipality wanted to stick strictly to their policy and the Bi-Go was not included. I was told to settle for a heavy, cumbersome, and clunky electric wheelchair that barely fit in the bus and only went ten kilometers per hour. If the chair turned out not to be satisfactory after a month, I would have to get in touch again. Ridiculous, especially when talking about budget cuts! After six months, we had made no progress and resorted to the TV program Kassa.
When we knocked on the municipality's door with the camera, we received one of those standard stories, but the next day we got a call. We – my mother, the presenter without a camera, and I – were invited for a meeting with the alderman. In half an hour, the alderman concluded that the Bi-Go was indeed a total solution, for the same price or even a lower price than the electric wheelchair. I received a personal budget, including an amount for maintenance. Three weeks later, I had my Bi-Go. It has exceeded my expectations more than I could imagine. I am now almost pain-free and I no longer take any medication!”
