Active Wheelchair Push Assist
Manual Wheelchair with Rigid Frame
Quickie Nitrum
The Sopur Nitrum wheelchair boasts a very good strength-to-weight ratio. It uses hollow forged technology and is made of a special aluminium originating from the aerospace industry. This makes the wheelchair durable but lightweight. The organic form of the ovalised frame and the open construction lend it a strong visual eloquence. Special design features also include an integrated LED light, guaranteeing good visibility after dark, and a backrest that can be folded down quickly so that the wheelchair is easily converted into a compact unit.
Statement by the Jury
Its ingenious lightweight construction gives the Sopur Nitrum wheelchair an exceptionally appealing minimalist look and an agility to match.
