Why Afikim?
Because no one knows mobility scooters like Afikim!
With tens of thousands of our scooters in daily use worldwide and a proven track record of lasting performance, the Afiscooter brand has become synonymous with quality, reliability, and high performance.
We take pride in knowing that Afikim Electric Vehicles positively impacts our customers’ independence, peace of mind, and overall quality of life.
The first Afikim scooter was designed and manufactured in the mid-1970s by Kibbutz Afikim to provide disabled members of the kibbutz with greater mobility and independence.
Realizing the significant difference these self-made scooters made to the lives of their users, the kibbutz decided to invest further in the product, refine its design, adapt it for mass production, and distribute it more widely both within Israel and internationally.
Thus, in 1978, Afikim Electric Vehicles was officially founded. Since then, the company has consistently worked to improve its products, expand its range, and set the highest standards of innovation, design, comfort, and safety in the mobility scooter industry.
