Scooterpac reveals new range of “extremely robust” lightweight magnesium wheelchairs
Mobility manufacturer and distributor Scooterpac has revealed a brand-new range of industry leading featherweight wheelchairs.
At only 7.2kg, the Feather Propel is the lightest self-propel on the market, according to Scooterpac. The wheelchair features swing-away footrests, quick release wheels with an option for integrated elevating leg rests. A transit version is also available, weighing in at just 5.9kg.
Scott Lawrence, Sales Director at Scooterpac, commented: “One thing we were constantly asked for by our customers over the last few years, was a genuinely lightweight product.
“By introducing the lightest wheelchairs on the market, we feel that we are starting to deliver on this. Developed on a magnesium alloy platform, the Feather Wheelchairs are not only incredibly lightweight, but they’re also extremely robust and offer fantastic all-round performance.”
The introduction of the wheelchairs is part of Scooterpac’s ambitious expansion strategy focused around delivering a broader portfolio of both exciting and innovative products. In January, the company reported a growth of over 30 per cent in 2022.
Scott Lawrence continued: “Initial product feedback from our dealers has been absolutely awesome. It’s been a real pleasure seeing the reactions as our customer’s lift the wheelchairs for the first time.
“We really are incredibly excited to bring these remarkably lightweight wheelchairs to market, helping to elevate people’s everyday lives.”
Suffolk based Scooterpac have been previously known for launching products including the Ignite range, the first mobility scooter to include a heated seat, and the Invader, an off-road mobility scooter.
Feather is now available to pre-order with deliveries starting in March and will be showcased at Naidex 2023, taking place from 22-23 March at Birmingham’s NEC. Visit Scooterpac on stand F50.
