Looking for a wheelchair that’s easy to push, simple to lift, and built just for you? The QUICKIE Krypton R carbon-fibre wheelchair from Recare is the ultimate lightweight rigid wheelchair designed for independent, active wheelchair users who want effortless performance and total freedom.

Made from advanced aerospace-grade carbon fibre, the Krypton R is one of the lightest rigid wheelchairs available in the UK today, starting from just 3.65kg transfer weight. That means easier car loading, smoother daily transfers, and reduced strain on your shoulders and arms.

The Krypton R isn’t just light – it’s strong, responsive, and completely customisable. With over 10,000 configuration options, it can be tailored to your body, lifestyle and preferences – whether you’re navigating tight indoor spaces or enjoying outdoor adventures.

Service & Maintenance

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your 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.
