Afikim Electric Vehicles

What Afikim Electric Vehicles does

Afikim Electric Vehicles, doing business as Afikim Mobility (legal entity AFIKIM MOBILITY LTD), designs, manufactures, and supplies electric mobility scooters from its headquarters in the Jordan Valley, Israel. Founded in 1978 by Kibbutz Afikim — which remains its sole owner — the company pioneered the world's first fully suspended and folding mobility scooters and has focused exclusively on this category for over 45 years. Its product portfolio spans three lines: the Afiscooter S series (S3, S4, SOLAR, plus wide-seat variants) for outdoor heavy-duty use with 24V DC motors and adjustable suspension; the Afiscooter C series (C3, C4) for mid-size indoor/outdoor applications with orthopedic seating; and the Afiscooter SE, a classic 3-wheel retro model. A differentiated niche product is the Shabbat System, developed with the Zomet Institute, which provides Halacha-compliant operation for Orthodox Jewish users.

The company sells exclusively through authorized dealers and regional distributors, with named US partners including Mobility Scooters Direct, Electric Wheelchairs USA, Marcs Mobility, MedMart, and SpinLife, plus European and Oceanic distributors (TGA Mobility in the UK, Topro Mobility in Germany, Preston Ability in the Netherlands) and Kalnoit in Israel. Pricing is quote-based through dealers, with revenue derived from hardware sales of scooters, a wide accessories catalog (canopies, seats, tires, storage, safety belts), and a long-tail spare-parts business that supports models up to 15 years post-retirement. All products are FDA-approved, CE-marked, EN-12184 compliant, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems. The company is led by CEO Adi Maor, operates with 11-50 employees, and reports tens of thousands of scooters in daily use worldwide.
