This wheelchair is NOT available to people over 80kg.
The Melrose Cobra is an everyday lightweight wheelchair designed and built to provide a comfortable ride by reducing jarring and vibration. We have achieved this by utilising
the low elastic modulus (springyness) of the titanium frame.
This is our lightest wheelchair made from titanium, the light weight reduces stress and wear on your arms and sholders.
The design also has no underframe, this assists when lifting the wheelchair over yourself - for example: when getting in a motor vehicle with out a hoist.
There is also a small amount of camber bar position adjustment so you can change your wheelchair balance position.
