COMPANY HISTORY

Pride Mobility Products Corp. is the world’s leader in the design, development and manufacture of mobility products—power chairs, scooters and lift chairs.

1986 - Evolving from an existing family business, Pride begins focusing solely on the manufacture of lift chairs.

1992 - Pride extends its operation to include scooters. Pride scooters offer an industry first—models not just functional but incorporating sleek styling and offering options and accessories to meet the personal tastes and preferences of potential customers.

1996 - Pride enters the power chair market with the patented and highly acclaimed mid-wheel drive Jazzy…another industry first. The Jazzy is the most stylish, maneuverable and natural feeling power chair ever designed.

2000 - Pride takes the next bold step by forming Quantum Rehab, a division dedicated to those clients with highly specialized and advanced rehab needs. Quantum Rehab combines the existing Jazzy power bases with the most advanced, cutting edge rehab seating and electronics available.

2001 - Quantum launches the pursuit of additional rehab oriented power bases, including the Blast, a very successful rear-wheel drive format power chair, and the
Dynamo, a mid-wheel drive pediatric power chair.

2002 - Synergy Seating solutions, including the Synergy cushion line, is introduced.

Expanding upon the mid-wheel drive power chair design that revolutionized the industry, the patent pending Mid-Wheel 6 design platform is developed. This innovative new design provides maximum stability and true all-around performance.

2005 - Building on the success of Go-Go Travel Scooter, Pride launches a full Go-Go Travel Mobility line of specialty mobility products. This line utilizes compact designs and innovative features that make them easy to transport and even easier for clients to enjoy wherever they go.
The acquisition of Silver Star Mobility, a division dedicated solely to vehicle lift systems, allows Pride to offer clients a complete mobility solution. Silver Star lift systems require little to no vehicle alteration and make it quick, convenient and affordable to take a Pride Mobility product anywhere.
