A "European basic wheelchair" is a category of manual, lightweight, and foldable wheelchairs that conform to the European Standard EN 12183 for safety and performance. These wheelchairs are designed for everyday use, emphasizing practicality, durability, and a clean, modern design aesthetic.
Key characteristics
Lightweight construction: Many are built with lightweight materials like aluminum, making them easier to maneuver for the user or a caregiver. This also simplifies transport and storage.
Folding frame: The folding design is a standard feature for transportability and compact storage in homes, vehicles, or for travel.
Adjustable components: While considered "basic," these chairs often include some adjustability to ensure user comfort and a better fit. This may include removable and height-adjustable armrests, footrests, and backrests.
Safety features: European safety standards ensure that the wheelchair includes a reliable braking system and anti-tilt wheels to prevent tipping.
Aesthetic design: Unlike older, traditional wheelchairs that are purely functional, European basic wheelchairs are often designed with a sleeker, more stylish appearance.
Distinguishing factors from other types of wheelchairs
Lighter than standard wheelchairs: Standard wheelchairs in other markets often use heavy steel frames, while basic European models are typically lighter due to aluminum frames.
More adjustable than basic transport chairs: Basic transport chairs, often used for temporary transport, tend to be smaller and less adjustable. A basic European wheelchair is more robust and offers more adjustments for daily use.
Not fully custom: While they offer some adjustments, they are not custom-made like high-end "active" or sports wheelchairs, which offer more extensive customization and specialty features.
Compliant with EU standards: These wheelchairs must comply with the Medical Device Directive and specific European harmonized product standards, including EN 12183 for manual wheelchairs, ensuring they meet a high benchmark for safety and quality.
