FAQs - Your Questions Answered

Why is this more than a cheap online chair?
The X-Lite runs an aircraft-grade aluminium frame with quick-release serviceable wheels, 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 self-propelled or transit?
Self-propelled. 60cm (24") rear wheels with hand rims. Attendant push handles also fitted.

Does it have attendant brakes?
No. It has user-operated wheel-lock parking brakes, reached from the seat. Cubro fits the push-handle attendant brake to the X-Lite Transit rather than this self-propelled model. If a carer needs braking control on slopes, look at the X-Lite Transit or ring us on 022 022 9956.

How much does it weigh?
11.4kg. With rear wheels removed: 7.6kg.

What is the maximum user weight?
110kg.

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

How compact does it fold?
Folds to 30cm width. Fold-down backrest reduces storage size further.

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.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Print the measuring sheet

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.
