Finding the right wheelchair is more than choosing a mode of transport—it’s about selecting a tool that enhances independence, comfort, and daily life. Active Mobility’s Atmos Ultra-Lite Wheelchair Range stands out with its shared features of lightweight design, portability, and user-focused ergonomics.
The range offers two models tailored to different needs: the Self-Propel Wheelchair for independent users and the Transit Wheelchair designed for assistance. While the features are almost identical, the difference lies in how these models meet distinct mobility requirements.
Let’s dive into the benefits and features of our brand-new, super light, affordable wheelchairs.
A Shared Foundation of Excellence
The Self-Propel and Transit models share features that prioritise safety, comfort, and practicality. Before diving into their strengths, let’s explore what makes the Atmos Ultra-Lite series a standout choice for all users.
Key Features
Ultra-Lightweight DesignBoth models weigh less than 8kg, making them easy to maneuver, lift, and store. This lightweight build is especially beneficial for travel and daily use. |
Crash-Tested SafetyThe reinforced frame is tested to support up to 136kg, ensuring durability and reliability without adding unnecessary bulk. |
Compact PortabilityA one-touch collapsible frame folds both models into a compact unit, perfect for storage in car boots or tight spaces. Meanwhile, a folding lock strap secures the wheelchair in place when folded, preventing unnecessary movement during transit. |
Comfortable SeatingCushioned seats and backrests are designed to distribute pressure evenly, assist with posture, and enhance user comfort. These cushions are removable and washable for easy maintenance. |
Ergonomic DetailsComfort hand grips conform to the natural shape of the user’s hands, reducing fatigue. A large rear pocket and a mesh armrest pocket provide storage for essentials like mobile phones and personal items. |
Safety & StabilityBoth models feature anti-tip wheels, which can be removed or flipped away for added flexibility. Swing-away leg rests and flip-up footplates with integrated heel loops make it safe and easy to get in and out of the wheelchair. |
Quality TyresThese tyres are made from solid plastic for longer use, minimising maintenance requirements. |
Choose Your SizeBoth models cater to various users in 16”, 18”, and 20” seat widths, ensuring a perfect fit. |
Optional Add-Ons & Accessories
The optional add-ons and accessories for the Atmos Ultra-Lite Wheelchair Range ensure that every user can customise their wheelchair to better suit their needs. Whether adding comfort with a headrest or addressing specific medical requirements with stump supports, these enhancements make the Atmos range even more versatile and user-friendly.
Walking Stick HolderThis practical accessory is perfect for those who use a walking stick alongside their wheelchair. The holder securely attaches to the wheelchair frame, keeping your walking stick accessible yet out of the way. |
Headrest KitsDesigned for additional neck and head support, this headrest attachment enhances comfort for users who need extra stability during long periods of sitting. These headrest kits are also essential for transport — the mounting bracket folds with the chair without disassembling. |
Stump SupportsThese supports are designed for users who require specialised positioning for residual limbs. Available for both left and right sides, the stump supports provide comfort and reduce pressure on sensitive areas. |
Leg RestsThese optional leg rests support the lower legs and feet, offering additional comfort and posture alignment. Like the stump supports, leg rests are available for both the left and right sides. |
