Quickie Nitrum

The Nitrum is the newest ultra-lightweight wheelchair from Quickie. The Nitrum features a mono tube design made of a high-end special ovalized 7020 series aerospace aluminum. The mono tube frame design provides frame flexibility while the premier tubing creates an incredibly lightweight frame. The Nitrum is highly configurable allowing you to tailor the wheelchair to your most precise personal preferences. There are 89 seat width/seat depth combinations with widths up to 20”. Three front frame angles are available to accommodate your leg positioning preferences. Frame inset options of 0”, 1”, and 2” allow you to taper the taper the legrests to the openness or tightness you desire. What Makes This Different What Makes This Different The Nitrum brings three new features unique to the ultra-lightweight wheelchair market. There are two position settings for the casters. You can choose to have the casters set close to the frame to increase maneuverability and ability to get closer to objects for transfers. If you prefer a more stable base for your wheelchair, you can have the casters set further out. An optional Twist-Lock bar for the backrest allows you to unlock the backrest and fold it down for transport. A double-locking feature secures the backrest in the down position so you can use the bar to lift the chair into your car. The backrest can lock in the down position without having to remove side guards or a low-profile cushion. Four LED lights per side are available as an option for the caster arms. The LED lights are rechargeable and can provide up to 4 hours of light time. The lights can emit in three modes: high, low, and blink. Why We Like It Why We Like It The Nitrum with its mono tube frame and ultra-lightweight frame make for an easy-to-transport chair with a flexibly comfortable ride. The Nitum’s light weight also helps to minimize the amount of effort you exert to propel the chair. The lighter and smoother your ride, the less force required by your arms and
