Product Description
U3 Light
The U3 Light is a variant of the adjustable U3 that makes significant weight savings through its welded frame. This makes the chair far more efficient to propel, as well as being easier to lift, although it removes the capability to make adjustments to its setup. This means the U3 Light is best suited to more experienced wheelchair users who already know their ideal setup.
Various frame options are available, including Low and High variants, ideal for shorter and taller people respectively. A compact tapered Y-front frame is also an option.
As you would expect from a Panthera chair, the U3 Light features their typical dual-tube box frame manufactured from chrome molybdenum, providing unrivalled strength and rigidity, for an extremely responsive and manoeuvrable ride.
Options
While it is a welded chair, the U3 Light can still be built in a selection of seat widths, and with a range of personalisation options, such as sideguards, push handles and handrims. However, there is less customisation than other wheelchairs, although this is partly because it has several premium lightweight options such as a carbon fibre axle tube and Spinergy X wheels included as standard.
While Panthera chairs are configurable to suit a wide variety of body shapes and sizes, as well as practical needs, they don’t have the same level of customisation as most other configurable active wheelchairs, which will often have tens of thousands of different combinations of options.
