Reactive handling and easy transportation
Our vision for the HELIO C2 was significantly reduced weight and greater freedom of movement. Each component was carefully selected and carbon fiber was used for strength and lightness. The result is greater mobility as well as reduced chronic shoulder and joint injuries.
Save your energy to go further
The symmetrical cross brace and rigid unibody frame distribute forces equally throughout the frame for superior energy transfer and propulsion. Our unique Ultrarigid Folding system (UFS) maximizes the chairs overall stability, while the vertical axle plates increase rear wheel stiffness for optimal energy efficiency.
Optimal seat-to-floor height
The frames innovative design allows you to achieve a super-low 12-inch (30.5-cm) front seat-to-floor height. In addition to easier contact with the floor, this feature provides better foot propulsion. Or, move it beyond 20 inches (50.8 cm) to meet your most challenging needs.
Uncompromising reliability
Because carbon fiber is both very strong and very light, it is an ideal material for making wheelchairs. It also has superior fatigue resistance and can withstand extreme temperatures. This ensures exceptional durability, for a chair that will serve you for many years to come.
Carbon seat rail
Fully molded with integrated seat slider for better seat sling support. Reinforced back cane support
For added stability and comfort. SEE THE DIFFERENCE. The Motion Composites Vision Package A revolutionary step forward in wheelchair accessibility. For many wheelchair users, navigating their environment can be more challenging than it seems. Those with low vision or cognitive differences, like dementia, may struggle to locate and operate essential wheelchair components, increasing the risk of accidents and limiting independence. The Motion Composites Vision Package offers a breakthrough solution with high-visibility orange accents. This carefully selected color enhances contrasts and makes key wheelchair parts easier to see and use, providing a safer and more confident experience for a wide range of users. It is available on the HELIO C2, the HELIO A7, the HELIO A6, the HELIO Kids and the MOVE.
(NOTE: The HELIO KIDS and the MOVE are available in selected markets only)
Enhanced visibility Motion Composites' Vision Package uses bright orange accents to enhance visibility and safety. This vibrant color is easily seen in various environments, even in low light, and offers excellent contrast against darker backgrounds. This makes it simpler for users with visual or cognitive impairments to quickly distinguish essential wheelchair components, like the footplates, wheel locks, and armrests. The result? A safer, more user-friendly experience that gives individuals greater confidence and independence.
VISION PACKAGE The Vision Package eliminates clinicians' need to add brightly colored tape to make a wheelchair functional. The overall benefit is that clients are empowered to navigate their world safely and independently. - Shannon OConnor, MS, OTR/L Vision package - wheel lock extensions Newton Wheel lock extensions You can now easily identify where to lock and unlock your wheels with these visually enhanced extended levers specifically designed to be paired with the Newton Push-to-Lock system.
