FAQs - Your Questions Answered

Why is this more than a cheap online chair?
The X-Lite Transit runs an aircraft-grade aluminium frame with puncture-proof tyres, and it's supplied by Cubro NZ with a 12-month NZ warranty and parts held locally. A budget chair usually can't be serviced or supported once it arrives.

Can I get parts or servicing later?
Yes — supplied by Cubro NZ, so spare parts and servicing are available here in New Zealand.

Is this transit or self-propelled?
Transit. Attendant-operated. Not designed for self-propelling.

How much does it weigh?
10.6kg.

What is the maximum user weight?
110kg.

What seat widths are available?
43cm or 46cm.

Can it be used as a seat in a car?
No — like most folding wheelchairs, it isn't crash-tested for use as a vehicle seat. Transfer to a car seat for travel.

Who supplies this wheelchair?
Cubro NZ.

What warranty is included?
12-month comprehensive NZ-based warranty.

Will this wheelchair fit? Measure first — it takes two minutes

Seat width is the single most common reason a wheelchair gets sent back. Too narrow and it rubs and hurts; too wide and the user slumps sideways and can’t reach the wheels properly. Grab a tape measure and check these four numbers before you order.

Not to scale — use it to find the four measurements, not to judge proportions.

A
Seat width
Sit the user on a firm chair, knees together, wearing their usual clothes. Measure straight across the widest point of the hips or thighs. That measurement is the seat width to order — there is nothing to add. If it falls between two sizes, take the larger one.
B
Seat depth
Sitting, measure from the back of the bottom to the back of the knee. Take 5cm off. A seat that runs right to the knee presses on the back of the leg and cuts circulation.
C
Floor to seat height
Measure from the heel to the back of the knee with shoes on. The footplates need to sit at that height with thighs level. If the user will push themselves along with their feet, you want a lower seat so both heels reach the floor.
D
Backrest height
For a self-propelled chair, the back should finish just below the shoulder blades so the arms swing freely. For a transit chair pushed by someone else, a higher back gives more support.

Quick check: how wide are the hips, sitting down? (cm)

Still not sure? Ring Kellie on 022 022 9956 or send us the measurements and we’ll tell you honestly which chair to buy — or that none of ours is right. This is a general guide, not a clinical assessment: if the user has pressure areas, a spinal condition or sits asymmetrically, please get an occupational therapist involved.

Transit made easy

Have found the chair easy to stall in in car then get ready for use. Small and easy to manure in shops etc. would and have recommended for all to use as and when time requires.

Made my wifes day.

Now able to take my wife the walks she has been missing out on. I'm 83 and no problems pushing the chair around the gardens etc. Recommended.

Great service & Great product. Very easy to put up and down. Even the hospital staff were complimenting how easy it was to use.

well made product , light weight, easy to use.

Perfect lite wheelchair and best service ever

Super easy to order, and communication was personalised and prompt. Arrived really quickly, easy to set up and use (good instructions). Folds to fit in the boot so gives us heaps of freedom :-)

Just what I needed able to get my husband out of our villa. Easy to me to push and very comfortable for him.

XLite Transit Wheelchair

"This wheelchair is a perfect 10/10 from both of us. It's Mum's first, and she's thrilled with how comfortable it is. For me, as her carer, the small wheels and easy-to-push design are a dream. Transporting and storing it is a breeze, making our outings so much more enjoyable."

Freedom

After one weeks use this wheelchair is perfect for the recipient. It is truly light but strong and easy to use, well constructed and has seat belt and other features that make life easier and safer. Best of all the recipient has a new freedom to get around and able to venture to activities further away and so more joy and stimulation in life.
The purchase process was straightforward and the special price was a great bonus.

Awesome seller, Absolutely nice item as described, well packaged, lightning fast shipment, good communication with item informative, highly recommend to all. AAAAA+
