Description
The Helio C2 Carbon Fiber Ultralightweight Wheelchair by Motion Composites provides the ease of portability of a typical folding wheelchair with the great benefits of ultralightweight rigid chairs. Highly configurable, ultralight and super-adjustable, the Helio C2 Ultralightweight Wheelchair can be easily customized to fit your active lifestyle.
What Makes This Different
The Helio C2 features a rigid unibody frame, which provides added strength and durability to a standard two-part frame while also cutting down on maintenance. This tough, high-end design allows for the chair’s reduced weight while maximizing the chair’s propulsion efficiency. In addition, the symmetrical cross-brace of the Helio C2 is made of ultralight carbon, which increases the energy distribution of the chair and reduces the torsion, allowing you to spend less effort on the go.
Why We Like It
The 12-pound transport weight and 28 pounds starting weight, ultralight carbon frame of the Helio C2, is built to last with its high strength-to-weight ratio. Designed with weight reduction in mind, every Helio C2 Ultralightweight Wheelchair component is made to be as light as possible while maintaining high performance. The C2’s castors feature a durable, embedded caster housing, which allows you to make simple and precise adjustments to your casters. In addition, the Helio C2’s HD package raises the chair’s weight capacity to 350 pounds while adding just 6 ounces of overall weight to the trim frame.
Complementing the Helio C2 is the array of Motion Composites’ Newton Accessories, including the Newton One, spoke wheels and Newton Gravity ultralight wheels.
