Carbon-fibre ultra-light easy to push the folding wheelchair for children

The HELIO Kids wheelchair by Motion Composites was designed to keep up with the active lives of children. That’s why we chose a carbon-fibre design that is incredibly light and improves your everyday mobility while being exceptionally strong.

Motion Composite-Logo

Motion Composites HELIO KIDS Carbon Fibre lightweight wheelchair is one of the lightest folding manual wheelchairs for kids. Uniquely a Carbon Fibre wheelchair certified for power add-on devices, including the Benoit Systemes Light Drive Mini². Designed to use high-performance carbon fibre for peak lightness and strength. Each component and accessory was chosen from the flip-back footrests to the forged aluminium axle plates with weight reduction in mind.

Kids grow fast, and HELIO Kids is designed to grow with them. It only takes a few seconds to increase the seat depth by up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) in infinite increments for greater precision. The footplate height can be adjusted quickly and easily so your child is always comfortable.

A highly agile wheelchair is a definite plus, especially for kids. We only included what was essential for even more efficient propulsion. The moulded cross brace, oval tubing and pivot axles work together while the unique folding system maximises the frame’s stability, saving your child energy daily.

T700 carbon fibre is ideal for making high-performance wheelchairs due to its incredible sturdiness and stability. HELIO KIDS has a rigid unibody (single) frame, unlike standard two-part frames, making it much stronger. Kids can be tough on their wheelchairs, but this robust chair was made to last, serving your child well for many years.

Maintenance

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your Motion Composites wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.

Daily Checks

  • Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.

  • Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.

  • Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.

  • Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.

  • Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.

Weekly Checks

  • Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.

  • Check the tension of the seat upholstery. It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.

Monthly Checks

  • Inspect the wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.

  • Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.

Yearly Checks

  • Schedule a complete inspection with Recare's qualified technicians to address deeper maintenance needs and ensure optimal performance.

Tyre Pressure Adjustment

The owner or an assistant can perform Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools. Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.
