My Family and I have known Albert for approximately 15years, we first met when he worked for Sibbings Wheelchairs.
Ten years ago I had the misfortune to have an accident in my then 18mth old chair from another supplier, my back was hurt and I lost all confidence in wheelchairs and their makers, we approached Albert at Sibbings as we knew their chairs were made to Australian standards and were very strong and sturdy, we told him of my accident and my concerns and he at every stage of the process reassured me and made adjustments so that I would feel safe in my chair, that chair lasted nearly 10years and I always felt safe in it.
When it was time to update to a newer chair there was only one person who we trusted and wanted to talk to and that was Albert at Motion Wheelchairs, his own company which he started after Sibbings collapsed.
Since receiving my chair from Motion Wheelchairs almost a month ago my health and general well-being have greatly improved. Thanks to Albert's compassion, willingness and expertise I'm now sitting in a comfortable chair that I can use with ease.Before getting my chair from Motion Wheelchairs I experienced severe sciatica pain daily. Since having my new chair this has dramatically decreased, I'm now able to get out and enjoy myself because I'm not in agony every single day. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to Albert and his team for this new chair nor for their always courteous, insightful, helpful and happy attitudes they are a pleasure to deal with.
Albert and his team always listen to you with an open mind. They make suggestions but in the end it's your chair and they are always happy to make adjustments for your comfort or needs.
I look forward to dealing with Albert and his team at Motion Wheelchairs for many more years to come.

My name is Ryan Jans, I have been a customer of Motion Wheelchairs since the business began. I am very happy with the service l have received in that time. The guys and girls have been great to work with and are totally committed to providing the best chair they can. It's a family owned business so l find it very easy to communicate with them.
I have a movement disorder, (athetoid cerebral palsy quadriplegia) which means I have involuntary movement. My wheelchair was customised by Albert to cater for my special needs. He has many innovative ideas which were absolutely brilliant. l absolutely love my chair.
I use an Omni control and a proportional head control, that means I control my chair with my head. I have the ability to tilt in space, I can stretch my legs with power elevating legrests. My backrest can tilt back so I can do a full stretch (my Orthopaedic surgeon loves that cos l can stretch my hips). l also have extensive pressure care throughout my chair so I don't have any problems with pressure areas any more.
Leon made me a super duper stainless steel drink holder... I love it (and it's never empty!)
My chair is a mid wheel drive and has great suspension so l have the capability to go off road on rough surfaces. I live in the country and we don't have foot paths.

My name is Kim Jago, I am 32 years old female confined to an electric wheelchair, my disability is Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
To be completely honest, I can't remember the first time I meet Albert and Leon, I feel as though I have know them all my life.
Having a disability in life is something you are unable to control and being confined to an electric wheelchair can sometimes make life even harder especially considering my wheels are my legs. Life has always been made easier knowing Albert and Leon. Both of these guys deserve an award for customer service, kindness and willingness. Whenever something goes wrong with my chair (electrically or other) I know these guys are only a phone call away.
Many times I have called Motion Wheelchairs and asked if I can pop down to get the guys to look at my chair and never ever have one of them said, "no I am sorry Kim, we are unavailable or too busy". It is a feeling that no one can describe unless you are in the situation. My worst fear is to get stranded and never in my years knowing Albert has this happened.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Motion Wheelchairs for being so considerate, caring and compassionate. You guys are truly amazing and I always look forward to my next visit.
