FAQs - Your Questions Answered

Why is this more than a cheap online chair?
It's German-engineered on an aluminium frame, uses solid puncture-proof tyres, and is 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?
14kg.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?
Yes — at 56cm overall it's one of the narrowest chairs in the range.

What seat widths are available?
40cm or 45cm.

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. Measure straight across the widest point of the hips or thighs. Then add 2–4cm. That total is the seat width to order — the extra allows for winter layers without letting them slide about.
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.
