<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 />

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 />
