I first met Amigo in a park in New Orleans. I tried someone else’s wondrous machine and my friendship with Amigo began. I'm certain Amigo is the best, as I am now using my 7th, always faithful Amigo.

I have had many Amigos over the years. Amigo is making these better and improving them every year---it has never let me down. Great engineering!

| Welcome
To Amigo Mobility International, Inc.
|
| Improving Lives
Through Mobility®...
|
The “friendly wheelchair” first came to life in a
homeowner’s garage in Bridgeport, Michigan in 1968. Founder, Al Thieme, was
personally motivated to create this product in order to help a family member
diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The Amigo, as it was brand-named, initiated
the entire “scooter” industry. Since then, thousands of people with mobility
limitations around the world have experienced personal freedom and independence
on their USA-made Amigo power operated vehicles (POVs).
Today, Amigo Mobility International, Inc. continues to provide innovative
products of engineering excellence. Amigo POVs are recognized for their:
-
Compact durability
-
Unique customization options
-
User-friendly features
-
Easy serviceability with easy access replacement parts
-
Simple maintenance
-
Dependable operation
The Facts Speak For Themselves...
99% of warranty card registrants respond yes on recommending Amigo POV/scooters to others. We're proud of that statistic!
