Why is this more than the cheap wheelchairs I see online?
The Freiheit is German-engineered from aircraft-style aluminium, uses quick-release serviceable wheels and dual brakes, and is backed by a 12-month NZ warranty with parts held by Cubro NZ. A budget chair usually can't be serviced or supported once it arrives — this one can.
Can I get parts or servicing later?
Yes — the Freiheit is supplied by Cubro NZ, so spare parts and servicing are available here in New Zealand.
Is the warranty valid in New Zealand?
Yes — a minimum 12-month NZ-backed warranty on every chair, handled locally.
Is this self-propelled or transit?
Self-propelled. Large 60cm (24") rear wheels with hand rims. Attendant push handles also fitted.
How much does it weigh?
16kg (8.2kg with the rear wheels removed).
What is the maximum user weight?
110kg.
What seat widths are available?
40cm, 45cm, and 50cm.
How compact does it fold?
Folds to 30cm width. Fits most car boots.
How do the wheels come off?
Quick-release mechanism — no tools required.
Does it include a seatbelt?
Yes.
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?
