The Medicare Enigma Lightweight Aluminium Wheelchair is a great option if you want something sturdy, light, and foldable. The weight is just over 8.5kg without parts, so easy to lift into the car or tuck away when not in use. Despite being so light, it will hold users up to 18 stone and the silver finish gives it a smart modern look that doesn’t feel clinical or bulky.
What really makes this wheelchair stand out is how well it’s been designed for both the user and the carer. The attendant hand brakes means whoever is pushing can easily control the speed, which is especially handy when going downhill or through busy areas. The rear wheels have parking brakes too so that extra bit of security when you need to stop. The padded seat and backrest is covered in wipe clean nylon so comfortable to sit in and easy to clean even with daily use.
It’s also very practical when it comes to adjustments and folding. The backrest folds down half way and the footrests and rear wheels can be released quickly so easy to fold and store or transport. The armrests are full length and have soft pads for extra comfort and the swing away footrests make it easier to get in and out without feeling cramped or awkward.
Safety has been thought of too. The solid rear and front wheels are durable and low maintenance so no need to worry about punctures. The attendant cable brakes are designed to work smoothly even if the person using them doesn’t have the strongest grip. There are also rear stepper tubes to help get the chair over kerbs or doorways and a lap belt to keep the user secure and give everyone peace of mind.
All in all the Medicare Enigma Lightweight Aluminium Transit Wheelchair is a great choice if you want a well built comfortable wheelchair that’s easy to use whether you use it daily or just now and then. It’s great value for money and makes life easier for the user and the person pushing.
