The Helio A7 has the lightest starting frame weight for an aluminum folding frame wheelchair at 5 lbs. less than any competitor’s aluminum folding frame weight.  The light weight comes from using an aluminum alloy – 7005 T6.  The light weight does not mean anything is forfeited on this chair.  The Helio A7 has great adjustability for those seeking their ideal set-up.  All this makes the Helio A7 one of the lightest, push efficient folding aluminum frame wheelchairs in the industry. The 7000 series aluminum creates a more rigid frame for push effectiveness and a more energy efficient ride.

What Makes It Different:

Helio A7’s innovative frame design allows for a seat to floor height range that can be as low as 12” and as high as 20.5”. The A7 is adjustable in increments of 1/4 inch for the perfect height for users who want to perfectly tune thier chair with their body. The Helio A7 uses Motion Composite’s Symmetrical Hydroformed Cross Brace for reduced torsion and better energy distribution throughout the frame. The Rigid Unibody Frame is just as the name implies – a one-piece frame.  Most folding frame chairs utilize a two-piece frame which increases the weight and requires more maintenance.  The Unibody frame also maximizes your propulsion or pushing efficiency.  A Symmetrical Hydroform Crossbrace allows for reduced torsion and better energy distribution throughout the frame.  A forged vertical axle plate offers the most precise rear wheel adjustability in the industry.  The vertical mounting maximizes rigidity and responsiveness.

Why We Like It:

A great range of adjustability at a very low weight for a folding frame chair makes the Helio A7 a great option for any user that either knows exactly what they want for a set-up or the user who is still looking for the perfect fit.  A vertical axle plate offers multiple center of gravity settings and maximizes lateral stability of the chair itself.  Motion Composites offers their high-quality Newton armrests, casters, rear wheels, and handrim accessories.  An Ultrarigid Folding system incorporates high-precision tolerances and oversized pivot axles provide for a best-in-class propulsion efficiency.  Motion Composites has developed an Evolve Caster Housing which is embedded inside the frame to enhance durability and makes for easy and precise adjustments.  The premier attraction of the Helio A7 is still Motion Composite’s symmetrical cross brace which provides the efficient, lightweight, sturdy feel of a rigid frame chair with convenience of a folding frame chair.
