A MAGIX CHAIR
At the beginning of our story, there was only Michel Ohruh and the dreams he had for his daughter.

Indeed, the New Live company was born within our family, which was confronted with the world of the handicap following the accident of Mégane when she was 3 years old then of her failing care in IEM. We were plunged into a difficult and unknown world for people who had never been confronted with it.

The conception of an electric wheelchair was born in the mind of Michel (creator of New Live and father of Mégane) during their winter vacations in the mountains.

“As long as Mégane was small, she was in a sled, which was not a problem. But as she grew up we were faced with a dead end. No chair could move forward in the snow, and Megane would get stuck.”

Depriving Megane and the rest of the family of these moments was inconceivable. Mr. Ohruh made a promise to his daughter that he would create a magic chair for her, one that could adapt to her mobility needs. It had to be compact, curb-capable, yet elegant and versatile – in short, Magix.

TRUE TO OUR VALUES
The story of our family and the first prototype of the Magix has been talked about, and in 2010 we were the winner of the Lépine competition. A great victory for the whole family and a reward for the work done.

We are convinced that disability should not be an obstacle. We believe that every person should be able to move around without having to worry about the height of a sidewalk or the dimensions of an elevator.

Unfortunately, the lack of accessibility is no longer to be proven and many electric wheelchair users suffer the consequences every day.

With our 6-wheel drive electric wheelchair, the Magix II, we want to reduce the number of obstacles that get in the way. Its small size and its crossing capacity allow it to go up on sidewalks up to 15cm and to go in narrow interiors (more information).

FRENCH KNOW-HOW AND MANUFACTURING
Thanks to the trust of our users and distributors, the New Live team grows every year and now has more than 15 people on its team.

Advanced technologies, innovations and research are the ingredients we used to develop the Magix II. It is the only 6-wheel drive electric wheelchair manufactured in France.

The production of our electric wheelchairs is made in our French workshop in Betschdorf since 2017. We are convinced that inclusion is the best way to change the way people look at disability, especially in the workplace. This is why our production workshop employs people with disabilities and has been recognized as a “suitable company” since its creation (find out more).

New Live is today a unique company, a human and family adventure, full of pitfalls and beautiful encounters, which participates in its own way in the independence and mobility of its users.
