We were delighted to hand over the keys to the Dawson family today! After months of hard work, their newly modified van is ready to provide better mobility and comfort. Wishing them many happy and safe journeys ahead!

We certainly had an absolute blast at Show Your Ability Christchurch and Dunedin!

It was awesome connecting with so many of you and hearing your stories. We received lots of positive feedback about the Motom, which was fantastic - but more than anything, we genuinely love getting out there, meeting you all, and having those real conversations.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and made it such a memorable experience. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

We’re hitting the road!

Come visit us at Show Your Ability events next week:
📍 Christchurch – Tuesday 31st March
📍 Dunedin – Wednesday 1st April

We’ll have our Motom with us, so you can come check it out, have a chat, and see what we’re all about.

Whether you're curious, keen to connect, or just want to say hi—we’d love to see you there!

Bring your friends and spread the word.

Such awesome news - what a great step forward for accessibility on the trail!
We love that what we do can help more people experience something like this. It’s been really rewarding to be part of the process - huge credit to everyone who helped bring it to life!

Fantastic News for the West Coast Wilderness Trail!
Thanks to the incredible support of Te Matapuna Waiora a Io Trust and a generous grant from a private trust, we’re delighted to announce that a Motom has been purchased for riders with accessibility needs on the West Coast Wilderness Trail. This will open up our trail to so many more people who otherwise may not be able to experience this amazing environment.
The Motom will be managed and cared for by Trustee, Cindy Hopper, and her family—right on the trail at West Coast Scenic Waterways.
We’ll be holding a special launch and christening this Tuesday. If you’d like to be part of this celebration, please send us a private message.
A huge shout out to Natalie Gauld and Cindy Hopper, who have championed this project every step of the way. Sincere thanks also to Natalie’s father Brian and the Trust that funded the purchase, to the Te Matapuna Waiora a Io Trustees for their support in applying for the funding, Mitre 10 Greymouth for helping with the storage shed, and Vehicle Adaptations, who manufactured the Motom, helped get it here and have been incredibly supportive throughout.
Details on how to book and use the Motom will be available soon via Cindy at West Coast Scenic Waterways.
We can’t wait to see this making the trail more accessible for everyone!

Say hello to Kyle and Wiggles!

Can you spot the hidden mods in Kyle’s car?

That’s right… there are indicator buttons hidden in his headrest!

Pretty clever, right?

Check out Charlie and Tilly test driving the Motom!

We recently had the privilege of helping the beautiful Swart family — and we’re so appreciative for their kind words:

“Grateful for the team at Vehicle Adaptions, approachable, creative, open to our requests and with their experience installing a system that will have longevity.”

Thank you for trusting us! We’re passionate about creating practical, lasting solutions tailored to every family’s needs.

One of the perks of sharing a workshop with Freedom Mobility
Teamwork!
They’re brilliant at mobility rental vehicles – and often help our clients with short-term rentals while their own vehicles are being worked on.

We loved helping Hayley recently by fine-tuning her boot lifter setup so her wheelchair fitted perfectly, just in time for some summer camping.
