Great machine, I am sure that I am not alone when I say many marvel at my Amigo. Just this week at the doctor's office he was surprised that the seat turned. He stated he had not seen that on others.

I received my first "little" yellow front wheel drive amigo when I was living in the UK in 1982. I have lived with MS since 1979, have had 6 Amigos since 1982. Thanks to Al Thieme I enjoy life!

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!

Great Lakes Bay Region Family-Run Companies Have a Unique Resource
Featured in the Saginaw News March 7, 2010, the Saginaw Valley State University’s Center for Family Business has supported local family businesses for the past decade. Amigo Mobility, a family business, regularly attends events.
"It has given us a wonderful network of businesses that we can work and share ideas with," said Beth Thieme, vice president of Amigo Mobility.
Second-generation businesswoman Jennifer Thieme, Amigo's marketing manager, said being a part of the center's Next Generation group — which allows the next generation of family business owners to meet and discuss issues unique to them — will help her throughout her career at Amigo.
"It's been great to find this commonality," she said of the spin-off group. "It's been wonderful to see there are a lot of successful businesses here and a lot of young people that are motivated and love the area."
The article was also featured in the Bay City Times and Flint Journal.

We Extend Appreciation to Amigo Owner, Ron Bachman
As an international champion of diversity, Ron's message of acceptance and tolerance of others' differences motivates change in the lives of those faced with hardships and personal struggles.
The lives of Lewis family siblings, Janna and Adam, are changing direction after hearing Ron speak and meeting one-on-one. Tragic family circumstances left the brother and sister depressed and apathetic with Adam dropping out of school and Janna coping as best she could. Supported by Ron's understanding, encouragement, and "can do" attitude, Janna has a renewed sense of hope and Adam is back to school with a different viewpoint.
Together, the Lewis family is turning a corner and all of us at Amigo Mobility sincerely wish them a bright and successful future.

Mobility Aids and MS: Scooters
Amigo owner Vicki Bridges' article was featured on healthcentral.com. "Mobility Aids and MS: Scooters" included the history about POV/scooters, general information and her own personal experience with her Amigo POV/scooter.
"Al Thieme had a relative with multiple sclerosis who needed a mobility aid. Instead of a standard electric wheelchair, he designed a friendly, easy to use, front-wheel drive model of a scooter. When he began selling the friendly wheelchair, called Amigo, in 1968, the mobility industry was changed."
