Lightweight Manual Folding Wheelchair - Reference Sheet Revision

 

There was an error in the reference sheet width for the Helio A7. The maximum width of this chair is 22" with a 350 weight capacity. Using a 4" front caster, the seat to floor of 13.5" makes it one of the lowest heavy duty lightweight manual wheelchairs on the market. Sorry for the original mistake on the reference sheet.

 

The comparison sheet with the Helio C2, Helio A7 & QXi had the correct width.

Q&A with Sarah Matson, OT and Clinical Educator at Motion Composites, about the Veloce

The Veloce is the world's lightest folding manual wheelchair (as tested at RehaCare, Germany). The transport weight  is 5.1 kilograms (11 lbs.) and the complete chair, depending on the components selected, averages 17.6 lbs. We had a chat with Sarah about the Veloce and found out a few things of interest. 


Questions:

  1. What needs to be observed in a demo of the Veloce?
  2. Which clients would benefit from the Veloce ultralightweight, folding wheelchair?  
  3. Is the ultralight weight the only benefit of the Veloce?
  4. The Veloce has optional Newton Infinity wheels - are they worth the extra $350 upcharge?
  5. How do you pronounce Veloce?

Answers:
