Benefits
Lightweight For Greater Freedom Of Movement
HELIO KIDS is one of the lightest folding manual wheelchairs for kids on the market. We use high-performance carbon fiber for peak lightness and strength. From the flip-back footrests to the forged aluminum axle plates, each component and accessory was chosen with weight reduction in mind.
A Chair That Grows With Your Child
Kids grow fast and HELIO Kids is designed to grow right along with them. It only takes a few seconds to increase the seat depth by up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) in infinite increments for greater precision. The footplate height can be adjusted just as quickly and easily so your child is always comfortable.
Saves Their Energy So They Can Go Further
A highly agile wheelchair is an undeniable plus, especially for kids. We only included what was essential for even more efficient propulsion. The molded cross brace, oval tubing and pivot axles work together while the unique folding system maximizes the frame’s stability, saving your child energy on a daily basis.
Strong Enough To Keep Up With Your Child
T700 carbon fiber is an ideal material for making high-performance wheelchairs, due to its incredible sturdiness and stability. Unlike standard two-part frames, HELIO KIDS has a rigid unibody (single) frame, which makes it much stronger. Kids can be tough on their wheelchairs, but this chair was made to last, serving your child well for many years to come.
Technologies
T700 High-Tensile Strength Carbon Fiber
One of the lightest and sturdiest material available, also renowned for its vibration damping properties.
Rigid Unibody Frame
A unibody frame is much stronger and requires less maintenance than a standard two part frame. It also reduces weight while maximizing propulsion efficiency.
Symmetrical Molded Crossbrace 3D
Entirely symmetrical carbon fiber cross brace for reduced torsion and better energy distribution throughout the frame.
Ultragrid Folding System
High-precision tolerances and oversized pivot axles for best-in-class propulsion efficiency.
Forged Vertical Axle Plate
Offers the industry’s most precise rear wheel adjustability. The vertical mounting maximizes stability and responsiveness.
Evolve Caster Housing
Integrated into the frame for rock-solid durability, the Evolve caster housing offers easy and precise infinite adjustments.
Anti-Flutter System
Minimize flutter with a simple twist of a screw. Provides a smooth, more efficient ride.
Newton Accessories
Parts and accessories designed to be lighter with improved functionality.

Warranty

Unlimited lifetime warranty on all Motion Composites carbon fiber frames!

Carbon fiber has superior fatigue resistance compared to metals. This means that components made of carbon fiber will resist the repetitive stress of everyday use. During the NSI/RESNA* fatigue strength test of durability, Motion Composites’ carbon fiber wheelchairs withstood double the minimum number of cycles required!
