Lightweight For Greater Freedom of Movement

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 Mini 2.1. 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.

A Chair That Grows With Your Child

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, ensuring your child remains comfortable at all times.

Saves children's energy to go further

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.

Strong and robust to keep up with your child

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

Features

Carbon-Fibre Seat Rail - It is fully moulded with an integrated seat slider for better seat sling support.

Rigid Unibody Frame - Much stronger and requires less maintenance than a standard two-part frame. It also reduces weight while maximising propulsion efficiency.

Ultra Rigid Folding System - High-precision tolerances and oversized pivot axles for best-in-class propulsion efficiency.

Footrest Anchor - The bracket is inserted with an integrated friction plate to protect the carbon fibre.

Evolve Caster Housing - Integrated into the frame for rock-solid durability, the Evolve caster housing offers easy and precise infinite adjustments.

Technologies

T700 High-Tensile Strength Carbon-Fibre - One of the lightest and sturdiest materials available, it is also renowned for its vibration-damping properties.
Symmetrical Moulded Crossbrace 3D - Entirely symmetrical carbon fibre cross brace for reduced torsion and better energy distribution throughout the frame.
Forged Vertical Axle Plate - Offers the industry's most precise rear wheel adjustability. The vertical mounting maximises stability and responsiveness.
Anti-Flutter System - Minimise flutter with a simple twist of a screw. Provides a smooth, more efficient ride.

Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.

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

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.

Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools.

Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.
