Active Rigid Option

During development of the Nitrum series, we made it our goal to optimize weight savings of each component and to achieve maximum rigidity. Nitrum Active Rigid Frames take this principle to the extreme.

Both chairs are based on the same lightweight construction as Nitrum and Nitrum Hybrid, but are characterized by the fixed welded backrest and axle stems which save even more weight, increase frame stiffness, and reduce moving parts.

A simple formula

Fewer moving parts means:

  • Less play
  • Less maintenance
  • Lower weight

The first integrated LEDs with removable battery.

Mounted on both caster arms, the Nitrum`s integrated LEDs will light up your night. The power pack provides up to 4 hours of run time and can be easily detached for recharging or to reduce the overall weight of the chair. How`s that for bright?

  • Composite housing is water- and shock-proof
  • Four LEDs per side light up the area around the caster wheels
  • Three modes: high, low, and blink
  • Control box is mounted inconspicuously on the calf strap and includes a detachable and rechargeable lithium-ion battery

Open Frame Lightest Weight, Simplest Design

The lightest adjustable rigid aluminum wheelchair in its class. A minimalistic open frame design makes it easy to propel, transport, and stow.

Simplicity + Strength

Along with its super clean look, the Nitrum is suitable for users up to 275 lbs. and offers the full range of adjustability and options.

Hybrid Frame
Most Rigid, Still Lightweight

The Nitrum Hybrid offers a reinforced front frame without compromising its proven lightweight construction.

The dual tube design is suitable for users up to 300 lbs. and combines extraordinary stability with durable lightweight construction and full adjustability. This leads to an ultra-stiff frame design and an unrivaled rigid ride.
