A WORLD OF INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

An agile, fully adjustable wheelchair with excellent propulsion to take you even further. Sophisticated technology and high-performance 7000-series aluminium alloy give the Helio A7 unparalleled manoeuvrability and lightness.

Motion Composite-Logo

By combining the latest hydroforming technologies with an aluminium alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, Motion Composites has created one of the lightest folding aluminium chairs on the market. Each HELIO A7 accessory and component was designed to reduce weight as much as possible for highly reactive handling.

Ease of propulsion is a definite plus and, with the HELIO A7, you’ll enjoy remarkable agility. The completely symmetrical hydroformed cross-brace, oval tubing and pivot axles work together while the unique folding system maximises the frame’s stability, saving you considerable energy daily.

HELIO A7 is a fully adjustable wheelchair. Maximising stability and reactivity, the forged vertical axle plate offers the industry’s most precise rear wheel adjustability. The composite armrests quickly convert from flip-back to single post for easy configuration. Height can also be adjusted with the flick of a finger.

The frame’s innovative design allows you to achieve a super-low 12-inch (30.5-cm) front seat-to-floor height. In addition to more accessible 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.

Reinforced Back-Cane Support

For added stability and comfort.

Rigid Unibody Frame

A unibody frame is 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.

Aluminium Seat Rail

With integrated seat slider for better seat sling support.

Hybrid Frame Design

Eliminates the need for both hemi and standard frames while providing a complete range of seat-to-floor heights.

Anti-Flutter Caster

Minimise flutter with a simple twist of a screw. Provides a smooth, more efficient ride.

Evolve Caster Housing

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

An aluminium alloy renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio.

Entirely symmetrical aluminium cross brace for reduced torsion and better energy distribution throughout the frame.

Offers the industry’s most precise rear wheel adjustability. The vertical mounting maximises stability and responsiveness.

Easy to adjust and made of composite materials for strength and reduced weight. It is the only armrest that converts flip-back to a single post without tools.

Parts and accessories are designed to be lighter with improved functionality.

Service and Maintenance

Motion Composites recommends regular maintenance using their checklist:

Every Day Manual Wheelchair Checks

Make sure the wheelchair rolls easily and straight.

Check for vibrations, noise or any deviation from normal functioning.

Make sure the wheel locks are working correctly.

Make sure the front stem is perpendicular to the floor.

Visually inspect the tires (front and rear) for debris, low pressure, flat spots or wear.

Make sure the anti-tipper tubes are locked in place (if equipped).

Visually inspect the fabric for protruding metal, rips or tears.

Make sure the handgrips are not loose (if equipped).

Check the hand rims for rough edges and ensure they are free of grease or other contaminants.

Checks for component interference.

Check for irregular noise and rattles.

Weekly Manual Wheelchair Checks

Check the tire pressure with a tire gauge.

Check the tension of the seat upholstery. It should be at a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and set in position.

Monthly Manual Wheelchair Checks

Check the wheel alignment.

Check that the fork bearings are moving freely.

Yearly Manual Wheelchair Checks

Have a complete inspection performed by a qualified technician.

Tire pressure can be adjusted by the owner or an assistant with the proper tools.
