Benefits of an Active Wheelchair

Active wheelchairs are designed for users who require a lightweight, highly maneuverable wheelchair to aid their active lifestyle.

Active wheelchairs are meticulously manufactured to ensure that they are lightweight, robust, and transportable - as well as comfortable and supportive.

Unlike basic manual wheelchairs, an Active Wheelchair is designed for users who spend most of their day in the wheelchair - and it's critical that this wheelchair is set-up exactly to their needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Active Wheelchair?

Active Wheelchairs are lightweight manual wheelchairs that offer a high-performance and responsive ride.

Active Wheelchairs are ordinarily 'made-to'measure', resulting in a wheelchair that meets the exact dimensions of the user.

An Active Wheelchair is ordinarily used by somebody that uses a wheelchair all-day, and supports an independent lifestyle - not only that, they offer unparalleled support and style.

Why are Active Wheelchairs So Expensive?

Active Wheelchairs use the highest grade materials in their design, and are usually bespoke wheelchairs that are made to measure - and specific to each individual needs.

Alongside this, there are a lot of hidden costs related to building an active wheelchair - such as;

  • Research and Development
  • Supply Chain
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Insurance
  • Shipping and handling costs
  • Demonstration model costs
  • Assessment costs
  • Warranty costs

These are all costs that are incurred by the manufacturer or supplier of the Active Wheelchair, and mean that you are not necessarily paying a cost for 'time' and 'materials', but more for a valuable service that is designed to enhance your independence.

What is the lightest Active Wheelchair?

The Lightest Active Wheelchair is undoubtedly the Panthera X - with a transport weight of just 2.1kg!

What is the difference between a standard wheelchair, and an Active User wheelchair?

Standard Wheelchairs are often an 'out-of-the-box' product - offering a lack of comfort, support and quality.

Active Wheelchairs are specifically made to each individual user requirements, offering high levels of performance, support, functionality and quality.
