General description
Ventus is a wheelchair with rigid frame, which makes it more stable and more efficient in propulsion compared to models with a folding frame. The frame is made of high quality aluminum, which gives the chair a reduced overall weight, but without compromising durability or strength. Thanks to this combination, Ventus is easy to propel, maneuverable on various types of surfaces and easy to load or transport when necessary.
The minimalist design continues in the backrest area, which can be height-adjustable and foldable, thus facilitating storage or transport. Also, the rigid frame and geometry of the chair allow numerous configurations of the wheel position and center of gravity, so that each user can customize the chair according to their specific needs.
