Precision-engineered to turn your energy into motion so you can go further, faster, and for longer.

Elevate your ride to a whole new level! The QUICKIE Nitrum is engineered to efficiently convert your energy into motion, allowing you to propel with the least amount of effort.

QUICKIE's decades of experience developing high-end manual wheelchairs coupled with feedback from wheelchair users drove the design of the Nitrum. For active users who are looking for unmatched driving performance, innovative details, and a large variety of options, the Nitrum creates the perfect match for fit and performance.

Performance and style

We don't compromise; you shouldn't either.

Modern Design With its striking design, smart details, and unbeatable performance, the Nitrum elevates your ride to a whole new level. We are convinced you deserve a wheelchair that meets your individual needs; a wheelchair that takes you further. This is why the Nitrum has greater configurability to help achieve your perfect fit.

Agility Highly flexible and strong. Each chair is made by hand in California and is unique, just like you. Individually position your feet, lower leg, and pelvis to optimize performance, improve handling, and maximize propulsion efficiency.

• Three frame angles: 75°, 80°, 85°
• Three frame insets: 0", 1", 2"
• 89 seat width / seat depth combinations, up to 20"
• Lower leg length selection
• Two caster positions

Configurable In configuring the Nitrum's frame to your unique needs, we're able to balance your center of mass over the chair's center of gravity. This, in turn, provides you with the stability you need to complete everyday tasks and move safely and comfortably in your environment.

Lightness Experience the lightest in its class: the QUICKIE Nitrum translates your energy into motion. When designing the lightest rigid wheelchair without compromising stability or performance, several components must come together: innovative development, leading-edge technology, as well as high-end materials.

The minimalistic open frame design is made of a special ovalized 7020 series aerospace aluminum that has been heat treated using ShapeLoc technology. Together with the hollow forged caster link tubes, we've minimized the total weight and therefore total energy expenditure needed for propulsion. Drive further and faster without getting tired.

Choose Your Frame Type

Open Frame

Lightest Weight, Simplest Design

The lightest adjustable rigid aluminum wheelchair in its class. A minimalistic open frame design makes it easy to propel, transport, and stow.

Simplicity + Strength

Along with its super clean look, the Nitrum is suitable for users up to 275 lbs. and offers the full range of adjustability and options.

Hybrid Frame

Most Rigid, Still Lightweight

The Nitrum Hybrid offers a reinforced front frame without compromising its proven lightweight construction.

The dual tube design is suitable for users up to 300 lbs. and combines extraordinary stability with durable lightweight construction and full adjustability. This leads to an ultra-stiff frame design and an unrivaled rigid ride.

Active Rigid Option

During development of the Nitrum series, we made it our goal to optimize weight savings of each component and to achieve maximum rigidity. Nitrum Active Rigid Frames take this principle to the extreme.

Both chairs are based on the same lightweight construction as Nitrum and Nitrum Hybrid, but are characterized by the fixed welded backrest and axle stems which save even more weight, increase frame stiffness, and reduce moving parts.

Lifting

A unique twist to backrest folding.

Just grab the patented Twist-Lock bar with one hand and twist it to release, fold and load the chair into your car. With double-locking, you can use the same bar to lift it. It'll also lock without removing your sideguards or low-profile cushion.

The standard option is a release bar (push up to fold) for an ergonomic and quick release of the folding mechanism. You can also choose a lightweight version of the backrest and our proprietary, stylish Freestyle^® backrest.
