Panthera AB

Panthera X has the chassis and back rest frame made in carbon fibre The carbon fibres fantastic lightness and strength makes Panthera X by far the lightest wheelchair in the world, with a transport weight of incredible 2,1 kg.

With new state of the art technology to place the fibres in the right direction we have increased the strength even more. The lightness and stiffness of the chassis makes Panthera X fantastic to drive and to lift into, e.g. a car.

Panthera X has a built-in rear axle, just like Panthera U2 light, To balance the chair you choose one of the 4 positions of the attachment for the backrest. The angle of the backrest is adjustable and the backrest height can be selected between 22 and 35 in steps of 1 cm. The footrest is adjustable in height.

The U3 light is a wheelchair designed for the experienced active user who can handle a "tippy" wheelchair without anti-tip device.

After long-terme sitting in a wheelchair many people develop problems with neck and shoulder pain. To help them reduce and/or prevent further problems we have designed the U3 light to make lifting and driving the chair as easy as it can possibly be without, of course, reducing the ergonomic features from the U3.

The design is optimized for easy handling in and out of cars and extremely good driving characteristics. The very clean and minimalistic design gives the experienced active-user a big opportunity for improvements in his or her daily life.

In its standard configuration, the U3 light has a carbon fibre rear axle, Spinergy X rear wheels, X footrest in aluminum and X castor wheels and a seat bag with integrated magnet.

The U3 light exists in two different set-ups. "U3 light" with normal balance, and "U3 light L" with a more "tippy" balance.
On the "U3 light L" the rear axle has been moved forward an additional 22 mm.
It's possible to adjust the position of the backrest by +/- 10mm, forward or backward, to calibrate the balance. Standard colour is pearl white or anodic black.

The Panthera U3 is an active wheelchair designed to let you live life as actively as possible. It is characterised by the attention that we have put into all of its details.
Its low weight combined with the stable fixed frame and casters with a unique profile on the tread surface make this wheelchair very easy to manoeuvre.
The chassis’ seating angle, along with adjustable backrest and seat upholstery and the backrest tilt function combine to provide extremely good seating comfort.
The fabric used in the backrest upholstery has also been carefully selected for ergonomic and comfortable sitting.
The chair’s balance point can be adjusted to enable you to find a setting that offers a feeling of security. Accessories such as armrests and side guards have a unique design and you can adjust the height and fore-aft position of the armrests yourself without using tools.
The soft upper section of the side guards fold down when loaded such as when moving into or out of the wheelchair. You can place your hands on the side guards when you lift yourself up or down.
The attractively integrated anti-tip device can be folded in and out by yourself while you are seated in the wheelchair. 

Panthera U3 has a tapered front and a steeper footrest angle that gives a more upright and active drivning position compared to S3.
