Tilite CR1 Carbon Fiber Wheelchair is a lightweight wheelchair. The carbon fiber frame of the CR1 has been built for uncompromising performance and strength, with an aerodynamic tube profile and a foam-filled core. Dual-Angled Front End Users can go up to 2" closer to other surfaces for simpler transfers by adding a bend to the frame's downtube. This bend also allows us to rotate the casters back in space for better access in small spaces.
When compared to prior carbon fibre chairs, the CR1's weight makes it considerably easier to transport into the vehicle, making it easier on shoulders. Furthermore, the chair's light weight and high responsiveness make it considerably easier to push.

I have been using a wheelchair since 1979, during that time I have owned a number of wheelchairs, manual, power as well as handbikes. My current Quickie 2 was almost 20 years old, I am very active, this chair held up very well..but it was time for a new chair. After looking around I decided on another Quickie 2, it's lightweight, foldable and compact, making it easy for me to load up in my car on my own. Sportaid (Gwen) made sure every detail was taken care of and that I was 100% happy with my purchase. I would not hesitate to work with them again.
