We did some pretty amazing things in 2025. From helping people get back on the road with custom vehicle adaptions to launching the new Vehicle Adaptions made Motom.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who trusted us along the way!

Now we are all geared up to make 2026 even better! 🚗

We specialise in modifying vehicles - but it's about more than just the vehicle. It's about what it makes possible.

In this video, Cecilia shares her journey back to the outdoors - from the beach to the mountains - thanks to a customised solution we developed with her and her occupational therapist.

Take a look at what we did to Cecilia's Ford Ranger and hear what this new freedom makes possible for her.

Today, we’re proud to hand over a specially adapted Ford Ranger to someone truly inspiring – Cecilia Dalrymple from Bulls, New Zealand.Cecilia’s new Ranger f...

From prototype to production - it's MoTom time!

After a year of collaboration with NZ engineer Andrew Nash, countless hours refining the prototype, and a whole lot of fun test rides....we're proud to annouce that the Vehicle Adaptions team is now producing the MoTom.

The MoTom is a three-wheel electric device built to help people continue enjoying the great NZ outdoors - with stability, power and pure fun rolled into one tidy machine.

Dr Natalie Gauld, who has MND, shares how life-changing her MoTom has been: "The MoTom has been wonderful for me, giving me lots of adventures, and a dopamine and serotonin hit from being outdoors, and enabling rides with friends and family which is so important to me. I've ridden over 5,000km in it. I take it out six days a week now"

MoTom Time at Adapt MTB

Rotorua and the Adapt MTB team really turned it on this weekend! We brought our freshly built MoTom along and it was awesome seeing riders give them a go on the trails.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by and had a chat or a go.

Glen's got that handover day feeling! ✨ 🔑

He handed Nadia back her keys this week, her 6 way seat van, now fitted with a side entry hoist, hand controls, full drive-from-chair capability, and with room for all her outdoor gear.

We have loved working with you Nadia - thanks for letting us be part of your mobility journey.

Nothing beats seeing someone drive off in a van that's built to work for them! We love hand over days! 🚐

We’ll be at the Adaptive Mountain Biking Give it a go Day next Saturday, November 15th, in Rotorua!

Come and see the new Motoms we’re building – designed right here in New Zealand, by Andrew Nash, to make off-road adventure accessible for more riders.

If you’re around, drop by and say hi – we’d love to show you what we’ve been working on.
