Dash Rehab unveils new lightweight powered wheelchair for indoor and outdoor use
Mobility equipment supplier Dash Rehab has introduced a lightweight powerchair with a foldable aluminium frame that is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
The Dashi Lite features extra-wide tyres with anti-skid technology, hill hold assist up to nine degrees, and a reliable electromagnetic braking system providing added reassurance for adventures and exploration.
The 4mph manual-fold powered wheelchair travels up to 12 miles on a charge, with 150W motors and a 12-amp lithium battery which is fitted inside a quick release battery case for easy access.
With comfort integral to the overall user experience the Dashi Lite has fixed armrests made from aerofoil foam and a swing-away leg rest, these offer users a safe and stable resting position. More important, for a comfortable ride, the backrest is designed to fit the body curve offering support for the lower back and helping muscles to stay more relaxed when seated for longer periods. The seat and backrest are crafted from a breathable fabric to aid relaxation.
For flexibility and ease of use, the chair’s intelligent operating system includes a clear display with USB port for smart phones, tablets and aids as well as LED headlights for extra peace of mind, day or night.
The Dashi Lite powerchair is compact and can be folded manually making it easy to transport, with an overall lifting weight of 21kg, excluding the battery. Its maximum user capacity of 100kg.
Brent McIvor, Sales and Marketing Director at Dash Rehab, is excited by the freedom and opportunities this new powered wheelchair offers: “Delivering on performance and ergonomics, we genuinely believe the Dashi Lite is a highly-functional yet practical solution for indoor and outdoor use. It is our entry level model and as such is priced competitively. Users will appreciate the chair’s light weight and easy fold mechanism for transportation.
All these features and benefits factored in with stock availability make this an attractive offer for equipment providers. The Dashi Lite powerchair is available to order now.
