Atom Propel Wheelchair

The Atom Propel is a lightweight folding wheelchair, available as a self-propelled chair or a transit chair. The self-propelled version weighs just 9.1kg, so it's light enough for most people to lift into a car boot, and it's easy to wheel yourself or to be pushed. The Transit is made from the same lightweight alloy and weighs just 7.5kg, so it's a good choice when a companion will be doing the pushing.

Both versions have a high-strength aluminium folding frame with a cross brace, a padded breathable mesh back and seat, mesh pockets on the sides for small belongings, swing-away footrests with heel straps, attendant handles with brakes, anti-tip wheels and Atom branding. The self-propelled chair has large spoked rear wheels with push rims, so you can propel yourself. The transit chair has smaller rear wheels and is designed to be pushed by a companion.

It's easy to take with you. Fold the backrest down, then pull up the middle of the seat, and it packs down to a compact size. Elevating leg rests are available as an optional extra at £41 each, for more comfort and support. The Propel is crash tested to current standards.
