My first mobility scooter was a second hand one I bought in 1997. I took good care of it and it took good care of me. Ever since I have always purchased AMIGO scooters, for me there is no other!

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.

Why buy Amigo?
Our customers answer that question best!
“I LOVE IT!” So easy to drive, transport and it’s quiet. Easy to put in the
trunk and does well on wet surfaces, too.” SI
“Since it’s made in America, I can get parts quickly and easily as needed.” TM
“My Amigo is compact, comfortable…and allows me the control I require for
pursuing the fast pace of my professional activities…and the fun pace of my
grandchildren’s adventures. I can’t “go” without my Amigo!” JB
“…very maneuverable indoors.” TH
“I have been using an Amigo for many years. I just purchased my fourth one…and
have been very pleased with the improvements made over the years. My world
would be very small if not for my being able to “get around” in my Amigo.” LK
“Given my height, I wanted a special Amigo with a longer platform…I was pleased
to see Amigo offered the EXT350, a longer version of the Rear Drive Amigo.
Today, I use both my front drive Amigo for indoors and I love my EXT350 for
outside. Thanks, Amigo!” AK
“…Before buying my Amigo, I had been looking at other products, but found the
Amigo to be more practical for me and my Ford Taurus Wagon. With the electric
lift, the Lift-All, it serves the purpose I need. Thank you.” HS
“I’ve seen what an Amigo can do firsthand. It changed my wife’s life
completely…from a hospice patient to a real person.” GM

How do I adjust the seat height on the Amigo if I don’t
have a power seat lift?
To raise or lower your seat height, remove the nut and
screw that holds the seat collar in place on the seat post; then adjust and
reinstall in the desired hole on the seat post.
Should I turn my Amigo “off” when not in use?
Turning the Amigo off will prevent drainage of batteries
and unauthorized use. On Amigo® RD models with a TouchTron Handle, the
Amigo automatically switches to "sleep mode" if inactive for more than 23
minutes. This feature substantially reduces power to conserve battery capacity.
How do I adjust the speed on my Amigo?
If you have a “Hi/Lo” speed knob on your handle, you can
use that. The “TouchTron” Handle has a speed indicator panel. Amigo’s
manufactured since 2001 have a programmable controller, which allows your local
dealer to modify the speed, acceleration, and braking for your personal
comfort.
Can I push/pull the Amigo to get closer to a table?
All Rear Drive models feature a manual brake release
lever. To engage the freewheeling mode, push the brake lever (located on rear
cover) forward. To terminate the freewheeling mode, pull the brake lever toward
the rear of the Amigo.
If you have a TouchTron Handle, you have an additional brake release button on
the handle. To electronically release the electromagnetic brake, push the Brake
Release button twice. To terminate the freewheeling mode, activate any control
button on the TouchTron Handle.
If I have a power seat lift, how often should I lubricate
the post?
Approximately every 3 to 6 months, remove the seat and
activate the seat to the highest position. Using a dry cloth, wipe inner tube
of accumulated grease and dirt. Then apply a very thin coating of grease to
inner tube, except for top inch of the tube.
What is the best way to clean my Amigo?
Clean a fabric seat with upholstery cleaner. Use a damp
cloth to clean the painted cover and protect painted parts with a coat of auto
wax.
How often should I charge my Amigo?
We recommend you charge the Amigo every day. However, if
it is not in use for a long period of time, charge for 24 hours every 30 days.
Extended charging is good for the batteries and will not overcharge them.
Amigos have an overcharge protection feature so that the batteries can be
charged anytime the Amigo is not being used.
Where do I find my serial number?
Having this number or knowing where to find it, is a huge
time saver when calling our Service Department for assistance with Amigo
products. Here are new serial number locations effective September 1, 2004:
RD (Rear Drive Amigos) = 2 locations
-
Below steering handle on tiller
-
Owner's manual, front page
Amigo Classic = 2 locations
-
Below steering handle on tiller
-
Owner's manual, front page
Note: Location Placements Are As Seated On The Amigo.
Why are there flat spots on my foam tires?
Not to worry…Flat spots are normal. You only need to ride
the Amigo for about ten minutes to eliminate them.
My knees keep hitting the lever on the back of the handle.
What can I do about that?
The placement of the spring-activated Adjustment Lever,
itself, can be moved out of the way for your comfort. Pull the Adjustment Lever
straight out. Turn in either direction. Release Adjustment Lever at desired
placement.
