TGA Mobility launches lightweight and transportable powerchair made from recycled carbon fibre
Mobility equipment provider TGA Mobility has launched a new lightweight powered wheelchair which has been built with an ultra-light 17kg carbon chassis.
The new WHILL C Lite folds effortlessly and is designed for “real life on the move” whilst being comfortable, practical, and considered in its details.
Designed in Japan, TGA Mobility state that the new powerchair keeps with the best features of the WHILL C2 but with new additions.
The compact and light WHILL C Lite includes advanced carbon fibre blade suspension, a fully adjustable seat, one handed folding and a smartphone app, for remote controlled parking and preference settings.
Users can expect confident handling across different terrains, a tight turning radius, and smooth, intuitive movement from the Omni wheels – which offer ‘on the spot’ turning without the need for clunky castors..
Daniel Stone, TGA Managing Director, commented to THIIS: “We are excited to be launching the TGA WHILL C Lite – a new standard in lightweight transportable powerchairs offering more performance, range, comfort and adjustability. It is a huge step forward for end user lifestyles and retailers stocking it benefit from unique commercial advantages.
“Engineered from recycled carbon fibre, this folding 17kg powerchair builds on the successful WHILL concept. Our retailers are already aware the WHILL range is popular, especially with Omni wheels and advanced technology, however this latest innovation promises to increase sales further.”
TGA recently hosted a three-day event at its redesigned mobility product showroom in Sudbury.
