Fritidsbanken's basic idea is based on everyone having the opportunity for sports and outdoor activities, regardless of financial or physical conditions.

"It's a democracy issue. And electric vehicles to get out into the terrain is a common desire among disabled people, says Henric Byström, communications manager for Fritidsbanken Sverige.

The activities of Fritidsbanken are based on those who want to donate sports and leisure items that can then be lent out. But some are more difficult to get yourself donated, not least things that have been specially adapted for people with disabilities.

"They are often very expensive and are rarely given away," says Henric Byström.

Tested in several locations

The two electric off-road vehicles that are now on loan for two months in Karlstad will then roll on in other Leisure Banks in the country in a test round to find out how much interest in borrowing them is.

"We are currently borrowing them from the manufacturer," says Henric Byström.

But can you afford to buy if the interest is great?

"No, then we have to hope that the municipality is prepared to step in and support.

Happy for the opportunity to borrow

One who was quickly on site to test the off-road vehicles was Elin Hård. She was thrilled at the opportunity to borrow a vehicle that could help her get out into the woods more easily.

"I'll borrow as often as I can, go camping and hang out with the kids out in the woods," she says.
