Proud to be working with so many people

Many seniors will have health challenges, and physical inactivity is often the cause of many age-related disorders, more than age itself. This is especially challenging with regards to the 50 million people diagnosed with dementia, and the 10 million who get diagnosed with this disorder every year. Motitech will address this challenge and help battle inactivity. And we are proud to be working with so many wonderful organisation that share our vision, working together with us in building a community for ageing well. Because we want to build and run a global community for our users, care providers, governmental bodies, and other partners who share in our vision of focusing on abilities instead of disabilities when it comes to aging. Bringing a global community around our users to life as a concept and alliance, will strengthen and grow quality of life for people ageing well around the world.

Client testimonials

"It is amazing. My dad cycled over 7 km he loved it. He thought he was really cycling along country lanes and competed with his cousin on the next bike. It also gave my mum (and me) who was watching, sheer joy just to see her husband so engaged in something even if it was for a short while."
Family member
""It is wonderful, is it just so wonderful! Just wanted to let you know our residents are absolutely loving the Motitech Bike and wanted me to thank you for them as they are reminiscing and also getting them to exercise more than they have! One of our residents have said this bike is something we need and she already does not want to part with it!"
Activity coordinator
"We had a queue of residents waiting to participate yesterday! 34 residents have taken part who were signed up, another 6 have cycled who we didn’t expect to but now want to use the bikes. What has amazed me is that the majority of residents are doing 30 minutes in one stretch."
Care village staff
"You've done what the doctors couldn't," - "my legs feel stronger and more agile than for years!"
Resident, care village
"Having the bikes and Motiview library on site has a created a great opportunity and a buzz around encouraging exercise to promote physical and cognitive stimulation. Some staff have even buddied up with service users to cycle a marathon over the last phase of our test period (over a period of weeks, of course)"
Manager, adult day care center
"They really like the videos and the range of places they can ‘go’ – there are lots of reasons why different places are selected. During the course of the morning we had been to: Glastonbury, Somerset Levels, Montacute House, Lyme Regis, Birmingham Canals and Milan, and it definitely generated conversation. Over the course of a few hours we had talked very naturally about topics such as: how places had changed, where people got married, graduated etc and recollections from the day, places people had lived and worked, picnics on Glastonbury Tor and at the abbey, places people had visited during the war or as part of their jobs, Italian coffee and a trip to Milan. Other topics have been world cuisines, music and instruments we used to play, speaking other languages, weather, the changing seasons, and more."
"We cannot praise this program enough and would want to congratulate you for arranging the trial of such a remarkable product. We know you do so much at Sunrise to inspire the different residents to pursue old and new interests; in our mother’s case, this is the first hobby that has really made an impact on her, giving the opportunity to escape life's trials into real journeys and real physical achievements”.
Letter from relative of resident "
"It feels like I've travelled the world and I haven't even left the day service—I love the music I listen to when I'm on the bike."
User of adult day center
"Wonderful contraption, this! I wish I'd had it some months ago - then I might still have the use of my legs. But I did 10 minutes today, next time I'll do 15 and then 20. After a while, I will hopefully regain the normal use of my legs."
FredFormer Postman
"I’m quite thrilled with it, it’s a really good thing. I try to keep busy and am still quite active, but I think for others who are less mobile it’s really giving them encouragement that they can still do things."
User of adult day care center
"We’ve never forced anyone to go on the bike, they actually ask to do it, and there’s always people there to chat too, there’s usually more chat there than in the main lounge where people tend to just sit quietly. It’s a conveyor belt of one out one in on the bike!"
HelenActivities Co-ordinator
"I've had not seen another project that had captured people at Southlawns the way this one has, and personal wellbeing and building relationships is the biggest thing to come out of it so far. It has given people a focus. One resident who had previously said he had no one talk to has made new connections."
Care Home Manager
"The positive impact of the sense of achievement at being able to increase daily distances, (in our mothers case the ability to cycle over 10km a day when suffering from lung fibrosis )is as good a tonic as any traditional medicine. The fascination of visiting and re-visiting places around the world in such a personal and vivid way provides a daily sense of anticipation and delight."
Family of resident
“My mother was pretty much bed-ridden. To see her now, exercising on a daily basis like this is extraordinary”.
Daughter of resident
“I was in a wheelchair at one point, then I graduated to a walker. The next thing will be the marathon.”

Partner testimonial

"The benefits of physical activity for older people are considerable but often there are limited opportunities, especially for people living in care. We are pleased to have supported Motitech in bringing their innovative concept to the UK and are delighted to now be part of their long term partnership with British Cycling. The project will build a lasting legacy from the 2019 Road World Championships and accelerate access to opportunities for people living in care, across England, to have more opportunities to be physically active as part of their daily lives.” (2019)
Charles Johnston Sport England’s Director of Property
"Having the bikes and Motiview library on site has a created a great opportunity and a buzz around encouraging exercise to promote physical and cognitive stimulation. Some staff have even buddied up with service users to cycle a marathon."
Jaqcui QuirkSedgemoor Day Service, UK
"The benefits were instant. The benefits were obvious. It doesn't matter if we can measure it or not."
David CochranCEO Harbison, Australia
"We know that the appetite is there, at any age, to remain active, but have still been blown away by how so many care home residents have embraced the Road Worlds for Seniors. Activity programmes like this go a long way in showing that cycling is for everyone and can be a real force for good. We’d like to congratulate everyone that took part and cannot wait to hear about the participants’ continued experiences with Motiview."
