Amigo Mobility Scooter brand was founded in 1968, and it has been a key player in the mobility scooter industry. This is a family-owned business under the management of its founder, Al Thieme, alongside his wife, daughter, and son.
Initially, Al Thieme was a plumber in Bridgeport, Michigan, but after a family member developed multiple sclerosis and lost his mobility, he was motivated to venture into the scooter industry. Since back then there were a few mobility aids on the market, Mr. Thieme sort to develop a better way to help the relative regain his independence.
Here are some of the most popular Amigo mobility scooters:
