Flexor- Active Wheelchair Prototype

All over the world, disabled and paralyzed people need wheelchairs – and often times, these need to be affordable, as traditional wheelchairs can be very expensive.

Flexor’s novelty is that the frame structure, made of bent tubes, incorporates the axle, thus the entire frame is a closed system. The footrest is telescopically joined to the frame. The large wheel’s axle clamps enable the center of gravity to be adjusted. The supports for the small wheels are fixed onto welded plates with bolt joints. The back of the chair is made of a single tube and is connected to the frame by two welded plates. Velcro allows the tension of the back and the seat to be altered as required.

Used fittings:
- Six-Star rear wheels, Petri-Lehr.
- Joy fork and castor-wheel, Meyra.

Flexor is a wheelchair made for everyday use, to enable a more active life. It is an “active wheelchair” that can be manufactured in Hungary, which is affordable and needed on the market.
