Quickie Nitrum Everyday Lightweight Wheelchair

The Nitrum is the lightest adjustable aluminium chair on the market at just 5.2kg lifting weight. Combines weight rigidity, custom fit and fine tuning to offer the most energy efficient chair QUICKIE have ever produced. The Nitrum is for users who value pushing efficiency and lightweight design. A revolutionary chair that minimizes propulsion effort whilst maximizing movement.

The original QUICKIE is an icon that’s influenced wheelchair design for over 40 years. What made it so special? A revolutionary design principle that minimized propulsion effort whilst maximizing movement. 

With fewer stress points thanks to its elongated sides, QUICKIE’s unique oval tubing is stronger than a conventional round tube. Less likely to flex under pressure, the eloquent oval frame is also lighter as the shape uses less material. But that’s not all - frame clamps can’t rotate on an oval shape, so there are less moving parts too!

Increasing strength doesn’t always mean increasing weight. That’s why the NITRUM’s oval frame is sculpted from aerospace-grade 7020 Aluminium. Boasting exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio, we specially heat-treat the 7020 to unlock its true potential. The result is a hardened frame that can be significantly thinner and lighter without any sacrifice to strength.

A unique-twist to backrest folding with one hand, simply grab the (optional) Twist-and-Lock backrest bar and twist it to release, fold and load the NITRUM into your car. With double-locking, you can also use the same bar to lift the chair. It’ll also lock without removing your sideguards or low-profile cushion too.

The NITRUM has two ergonomic grab bars (complete with rubber grip pads) on the backrest and cross-tube for lifting. Helping you to grip and balance your wheelchair, it’ll also reduce the strain on your wrists (particularly during repetitive daily-lifting)
