Hero Medical Carbon Lite Wheelchair – Transit & Self-Propelled

The Hero Medical Carbon Lite Wheelchair combines lightweight carbon fibre construction with a sleek, modern design for everyday mobility. Whether heading out for the day, visiting family, or travelling, its compact folding frame and half-folding backrest make the wheelchair easier to handle, store, and transport.

Available in both Transit and Self-Propelled versions, the Carbon Lite allows users to choose a configuration that suits their mobility needs. The Transit version features smaller rear wheels for attendant-propelled use, while the Self-Propelled version includes larger rear wheels with pushrims for independent mobility, along with quick-release wheels for easier transport.

Both versions feature removable swing-away footrests, height-adjustable footplates, and padded seating for everyday comfort and easier transfers. Removable upholstery simplifies cleaning and maintenance, while attendant brakes, anti-tip wheels, a seat belt, and a rear storage pocket add practicality for daily use.
