Helio A7 Aluminum Folding Wheelchair
The Helio A7 Aluminum Folding Wheelchair is an ultralight mobility aid featuring a rigid unibody frame, hydroformed crossbrace, and 7000-series alloy.

The Helio A7 has the lightest starting frame weight for an aluminum folding frame wheelchair at 5.00 lbs (2.27 kg), less than any competitor’s aluminum folding frame weight. The lightweight comes from using an aluminum alloy – 7005 T6.
Helio A7’s innovative frame design allows for a seat-to-floor height range that can be as low as 12.00 in (30.48 cm) and as high as 20.50 in (52.07 cm). The A7 is adjustable in increments of 0.25 in (0.64 cm) for the perfect height. It utilizes Motion Composite’s Symmetrical Hydroformed Cross Brace for reduced torsion and better energy distribution throughout the frame.
