Description
Nitrum is the rigid end of the Quickie manual line. There is no cross-brace, so the chair is stiffer and usually easier to push than a folder of the same size. Travel means removing the rear wheels and folding the back, not closing the chair like a lawn chair.
It is the right quote when propulsion efficiency matters more than a one-piece fold. It is the wrong quote when a partner needs to throw a closed chair into a back seat several times a day. We build the quote from the current Nitrum order form and we do not invent a chair weight, because wheel and side-guard choices move it.

We confirm the current manufacturer specification for the size you need before the order is placed. A different seat width, wheel, or option changes the weight.
Rigid chairs are less forgiving of a wrong centre of gravity. A seating note or a previous chair’s setup saves a revision.
A wheelchair has to match the person. Weight capacity includes the rider and anything carried on the chair. Complex rehab chairs should be sized with an occupational therapist or seating clinician. Figures on this page come from the manufacturer’s published materials and can change. The order form for your configuration is the one we follow.
Configured chairs are built after you approve the quote. Once a manufacturer has started a made-to-measure frame, that build usually cannot be cancelled. Boxed retail chairs are different, and we say so on the quote.
