Enigma Lightweight Attendant-Propelled Wheelchair

Enigma Lightweight Attendant-Propelled Wheelchair — Details

The Enigma uses a lightweight aluminium frame to balance strength with easier handling, giving carers a chair that is simpler to lift and load. The chair weighs 15 kg, which helps when moving it in and out of a car. The frame folds down with a half-folding back and quick-release footrests so it becomes compact for storage or transport.

Comfort is provided by a nylon upholstered seat and back with padded arm pads, aimed at steady support for everyday use. The seat width of 460 mm (18") and a seat height of 480 mm (19") are practical measurements to consider when checking seating comfort and transfer height.

Practical features include height-adjustable footrests that swing away to make transfers easier and help create extra legroom when needed. The chair is fitted with cable brakes that an attendant can use to help reduce speed while propelling. Front wheels are puncture-proof to reduce downtime from punctures.

The Enigma is intended for attendant use rather than self-propulsion and suits both indoor and outdoor use on relatively even surfaces. It carries a maximum user weight of 115 kg (18 stone) and has overall dimensions that balance user space with compact storage: overall width 610 mm (24"), length 1070 mm (42") and height 910 mm (36").
