Amigo changed my life. When I bought my first one I became "a real person" with the same possibilities of every one to live in freedom: I could find work, study, go out with friends, etc. Because I became independent.

In 1975, Al Thieme picked us up at the Bridgeport airport, treated us to dinner, then helped load Betsy's first Amigo into our plane. Talk about service!

| 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
