Safety
The MV-1 is the safest decision you'll ever make.
For your protection, safety features are integrated throughout the MV-1, starting with the anti-slip surface that covers the ramp and interior floor to give wheelchairs and scooters increased grip. While on the road, the MV-1 has Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to keep your ride steady. With passive and active safety features, it offers unprecedented peace of mind for mobility vehicle passengers and drivers. The MV-1 meets all applicable U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS).
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control reduce the chances of spinout or rollover.
- 1:6 or 1:4 ramp slope (power ramp) for ease of wheelchair and scooter entry and exit.
- Anti-slip surface on the floor and ramp.
- Four-wheel, power-assisted, anti-lock disc brakes (ABS).

Adaptive Equipment
Customize the MV-1 to fit your needs.
While the MV-1 is produced with mobility in mind, it was developed for passengers who use mobility aids, not the driver. However, VPG has reached out to several specialty equipment installers to have any necessary equipment installed to suit the needs of each individual. These options can be discussed with your MV-1 Dealer or your local mobility specialist. VPG supports special applications by publishing the MV-1 Special Applications Reference Guide. This guide will assist installers with a wealth of technical information, such as wiring schematics, harness routing and locations, technical measurements and weights and balances.
Examples of personalized solutions
Warranty maintained in most cases (subject to T&Cs)
- Hand controls on steering wheels
