LIGHTWEIGHT FOLDING WHEELCHAIRS
MOVE
MOVE - Starting at $1425
When we sat down to create the Move, we began with our usual accept-no-compromises goal — to build the lightest, most efficient wheelchair in its category. Period. That’s how we created the Move. It offers the design ingenuity you’d expect from Motion Composites. And it adds something new — accessibility. We’re now proud to bring Motion Composites superb quality to the standard wheelchair category.
Features
Rigid Unibody Frame — A unibody frame is much stronger and needs less maintenance than a standard two-part frame. It also reduces weight while maximizing propulsion efficiency.
Ultrarigid Folding System — High-precision tolerances and oversized pivot axles for best-in-class propulsion efficiency.
Vertical Axleplate — Offers two center of gravity positions, both in front of the back post, for optimal efficiency. Vertical mounting maximizes rigidity and responsiveness.
Flip-back Convertible Armrest — Easy to adjust and made of composite material for strength and reduced weight. The only armrest that converts from flip-back to single post without the use of tools.
Newton Accessories — Parts and accessories designed to be lighter, with improved functionality and awesome style.
Anti-Flutter System - Minimize flutter with a simple twist of a screw

HELIO A7
HELIO A7 - Starting at $2845
When it comes to lightweight performance, Motion Composites is unrivaled. Take the Helio A7, for example. Our engineers’ cutting edge design, paired with the outstanding properties of 7000 series aluminum, have produced a standard configuration Helio A7 that weighs up to 5 lbs. (2.2 kg) less than any other wheelchair in its category. That’s top of the class.

HELIO C2
HELIO C2 - Starting at $3995
Look closely. From frame to materials to componentry, every detail of the Helio C2 is optimized to help you go farther. We’ve ratcheted up performance and brought down weight so you actually expend less energy to propel the Helio C2. Result? You gain in mobility while reducing the risk
of chronic shoulder and joint injuries.
The Helio C2’s innovative engineering begins with its symmetrical crossbrace and one-piece side frame. This reduces weight and distributes forces equally throughout the frame for superior energy transfer and propulsion efficiency. And, with a vertical axle plate to shave even more grams and decrease wheel flex, you gain further dividends in energy efficiency.
So whether you’re pushing it forward or lifting it into a car trunk, the Helio C2 means more freedom. Like we said, it’s what a folding wheelchair should be.
