They say the best things are born of necessity and motivation, and that is the history of Amigo Mobility Scooters. When the founder, Al Thieme started the company, he was motivated to give his loved ones mobility independence.
Initially, he was just working to help a relative with multiple sclerosis regain his mobility, but with time his vision expanded and the Amigo brand was established. Currently, Amigo is one of the top players in the world of mobility scooters.
Here are some of their best products:
