Description

Posture support, built in

The STRONGBACK 22S is different: its patented ergonomic backrest is contoured to align the spine and encourage an upright seated position, which can ease the back strain of long hours seated. It's light at 11.6kg, folds for the car, and is backed by a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns from a Kiwi family business.

FAQs - Your Questions Answered

Why choose this over a standard budget wheelchair?
Only the STRONGBACK has patented posture support built into the frame. A flat-back budget chair offers no spinal support, which can lead to slouching and back fatigue over long periods.

What makes the STRONGBACK different?
A patented ergonomic backrest that supports the natural curve of the spine, encouraging an upright, aligned seating position instead of slouching.

Is it self-propelled?
Yes — it has rear push rims so the user can self-propel, and it can also be pushed by an attendant.

What is the maximum user weight?
136kg.

Do the footrests come off?
Yes — they swing away and detach for easier transfers and storage.

Does it fold?
Yes, the frame folds for transport and storage.

What is the 3-position rear axle for?
It lets you tune the balance between stability and manoeuvrability to suit the user.

What warranty is included?
12-month warranty, plus 30-day returns.
