Move Folding Wheelchair by Motion Composites

The Motion Composites Move Folding Wheelchair is an aluminum folding manual wheelchair from Motion Composites of Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan, Quebec, built to order for an adult who sits in a wheelchair every day and pushes it themselves. Its hybrid frame sets the front of the seat anywhere from 12.5 to 20.5 inches (31.8 to 52.1 cm) above the floor, low enough to reach the ground and push with the feet, with no separate hemi frame. With the rear wheels, armrests, cushion, anti-tippers and footrests off, a 16 x 16 inch Move weighs 16.1 lbs (7.28 kg) to lift into a car.

Description

The Motion Composites Move is a folding 6061 aluminum wheelchair built to order for an adult who self-propels.

What does it do and how does it work?

  • Extruded 6061 aluminum side frames with a black cross-brace; the hybrid frame gives low seat heights without a hemi frame.
  • Rated 265 lb (120 kg), or 350 lb (159 kg) with the heavy-duty kit.
  • Front seat height 12.5 to 20.5 in (31.8 to 52.1 cm), set by caster and fork; rear 12 to 20 in.
  • Transport weight is 16.1 lb (7.28 kg) at 16 x 16 in without rear wheels, armrests, cushion, anti-tippers and footrests; complete, it weighs 26.4 lb (11.96 kg).

Who is it for, and who should choose something else?

  • An adult who sits in a chair every day and pushes it, with the seat low enough to reach the ground.
  • Not for a child under 23 kg (51 lb).
  • Every depth step or a 7005 frame: the Helio A7 or Helio A6. Tilt: tilt-in-space. Over the HD kit: bariatric.

Will it fit?

  • Seat width 14 to 20 in (35.6 to 50.8 cm); 21 and 22 in need the heavy-duty kit. Depth 16, 18 or 20 in (40.6, 45.7 or 50.8 cm).
  • Back height 16, 18 or 20 in fixed, or 21 to 24 in; the adjustable back sets 90 to 110 degrees.
  • Overall width 20.75 to 33.5 in (52.7 to 85.1 cm), depending on the seat and wheels.

Using it day to day

  • Fold side to side by pulling up the seat handle; footrests swing away.
  • Rear wheels come off only with the quick-release axle option; fixed axles are also offered.
  • A technician does the first setup and yearly inspection; keep fingers clear of the pivot links.
  • Wheel locks hold a parked chair and do not slow it; a quick-release wheel is locked when the detent balls stick out.

What does it work with, and what are its limits?

  • The rider and anything carried must total no more than 265 lb (120 kg), or 350 lb (159 kg) HD.
  • It has an unoccupied tie-down and an optional WC-19 occupied tie-down, not offered with the heavy-duty kit.
  • A cushion and elevating legrests are separate choices.
  • Warranty: frame and cross-brace 5 years; components 1 year; tires, upholstery, cushions, armrests and grips 30 days. See the Warranty tab.

Which version should I choose?

  • Frame colour: 19 colours with a black cross-brace, Black standard; custom paint on order.
  • Quick Ship: black, 16 x 16 to 20 x 20 in, three front heights, seat upholstery but no back or cushion.
  • Armrests 6 to 14 in, footrests at 60 or 70 degrees, wheels and casters are order choices.
