<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ugly</strong> <strong>Duckling</strong><br />

<strong>by</strong> <strong>Hans</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Andersen</strong><br />

In 1843, Denmark’s best-loved and best-known writer <strong>Hans</strong> <strong>Christian</strong><br />

<strong>Andersen</strong> (1805-1875) wrote the story of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Ugly</strong> <strong>Duckling</strong>.<br />

This poignant tale tells of the duckling who grew up <strong>by</strong> a duckpond<br />

and endured so much misery because it was different from the<br />

other ducklings. But it had other<br />

qualities and <strong>by</strong> the end of the<br />

story had turned into a beautiful<br />

swan – the best of all birds,<br />

the storyteller says.


»Looks shouldn’t<br />

make a difference…«<br />

<strong>The</strong> first <strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong> electric scooter came to the world in 1980, and<br />

was certainly no swan to look out. Its friends and relations could only<br />

shake their heads and sigh, »Whatever next?« But the ugly duckling<br />

proved to be strong, stable and safe – and laid the foundation for<br />

new and unimagined freedoms for the physically disabled.

Since 1980 <strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong> has been producing electric scooters and<br />

wheelchairs for the elderly and the disabled. <strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong>’s vision is<br />

to offer solutions for the walking-impaired, enabling them to keep<br />

up an active, socially-grounded life, and as far as possible without<br />

the help of other people.<br />

<strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong> is particularly noted for its smart designs, manoeuvrability<br />

and powerful motors. This last has made <strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong> extremely<br />

popular in countries with steep slopes and hills. Even ice<br />

and snow cannot stop these all-terrain vehicles – for of course, <strong>Mini</strong><br />

<strong>Crosser</strong> is also available with studded tyres.

Over the years <strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong> has acquired all the knowledge and<br />

expertise to secure users the maximum pleasure and benefit from<br />

their electric scooter or wheelchair. And when standard solutions<br />

– as supplemented <strong>by</strong> our wide range of accessories – are still not<br />

enough, a special adaptation can be developed in close consultation<br />

with technical aid centres, institutions and the disabled organisations.<br />

<strong>The</strong> current <strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong> range includes some 20 models and a<br />

wide selection of accessories – including other life-enhancing disabled<br />

aids.


»How large the world is…«<br />

said the young duck<br />

Based in Denmark <strong>Mini</strong> <strong>Crosser</strong> is today market<br />

leading in Scandinavia where we supply<br />

users and communities directly though<br />

our salesmen and technicians. We train<br />

and support the local dealers who<br />

represent us all over the world.


»<strong>The</strong> new one is the most beatifull<br />

of them all…«<br />

And the old swans bewed their<br />

heads before him.<br />
