The Day That Changed My Perspective: A Story of Determination and Mobility

A story of inspiration from our customers as told by Avi Lev Ari, who has been with Movinglife since 2016 and is the head of sales and management member for multiple Movinglife locations.

Every day at Movinglife is an opportunity to change lives, but one Friday in 2016 will forever stand out as a moment that redefined how I view determination, resilience, and the transformative power of mobility solutions.

It all started with a phone call. A man urgently seeking a mobility solution reached out on a Friday afternoon. Although it was outside our regular business hours, I didn’t hesitate. I understood just how vital independence is to those facing mobility challenges, so I opened our showroom specifically for him.

When he arrived, he wasn’t alone. Beside him was a friend seated in a power wheelchair. Both were eager but for very different reasons. While the man who called me was there to test our ATTO mobility scooter, his friend remained quietly in the background. Though silent, his gaze never left the demonstration. He watched intently, absorbing every movement, feature, and explanation with laser focus.

As the demo concluded and the first man decided to purchase the ATTO, the quiet observer spoke up, surprising me. “Excuse me, can I buy one too?” he asked, his voice steady and filled with determination.

I paused, momentarily taken aback. The ATTO scooter requires some physical maneuvering, and knowing his condition—he could not use his legs—I felt compelled to ask, “Are you sure you can use it?”

His response was unwavering: “I can try.”

What happened next was nothing short of extraordinary. This customer suffers from torsion dystonia, a disease causing uncontrollable contractions in the legs resulting in uncontrollable distortions, leaving the person wheelchair-bound. Using sheer upper body strength and a will that seemed unshakable, he lifted himself out of his wheelchair. He went down to the floor and opened the ATTO, and then he jumped from the floor to the seat of the ATTO. It wasn’t easy, but he tackled it with a determination that left me awestruck. As he settled into the seat, he turned to me and said, “This device will change my life.”

And it did. From that day forward, he began traveling the world—something he once thought impossible.

The ATTO became so much more than a scooter for him; it was his gateway to freedom, adventure, and a life he had thought was beyond his reach. Over the years, he sent me photos from his journeys. Each picture told a story: cobblestone streets in Europe, bustling markets in Asia, and serene landscapes he had dreamed of seeing. The ATTO had become his companion, enabling him to reclaim his life one adventure at a time.

That day didn’t just transform his life—it profoundly changed mine. It was a powerful reminder that limitations are often what we perceive them to be. With the right mindset and the right tools, even the seemingly impossible becomes achievable. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the unyielding power of determination.

At Movinglife, we believe that mobility is about more than getting from point A to point B. It’s about breaking barriers, embracing freedom, and truly living. Whether it’s exploring new destinations, reconnecting with loved ones, or rediscovering joy in the everyday, our mission is to empower you to move through life without limits.

We’ve been privileged to witness countless stories like his. Stories of individuals reclaiming their independence, seizing new opportunities, and proving that life doesn’t stop in the face of physical challenges. These stories fuel our passion and reinforce our belief that mobility solutions like the ATTO are more than products; they’re lifelines. They’re bridges to opportunity, vehicles for dreams, and tools for redefining what’s possible.

The ATTO isn’t just a mobility device; it’s a symbol of hope and empowerment. Compact yet powerful, every detail reflects our commitment to innovation and the belief that no one should have to compromise their freedom. It’s a reminder that independence and adventure are always within reach.

Stories like his remind us why we’re here. They inspire us to keep innovating and listening to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We’re here for the adventurers who won’t let anything hold them back, for the dreamers chasing what’s just out of reach, and for everyone proving that mobility challenges don’t have to define their lives.

Here’s to living life fully and fearlessly. At Movinglife, we’re honored to help make that possible. Because when it comes to freedom, there should be no limits.

What was once a “hike” filled with uncertainty and limitation became a journey of freedom. I watched with awe as these incredible women zipped down trail and dirt paths bursting with spring flowers and fresh herbs. They followed paths lined with blossoming trees, lavender and sunflowers. They explored an ancient village, learning its history while gliding over gravel and uneven terrain—places that would’ve been inaccessible without the ATTO.
