Description
The Nitrum Hybrid is Quickies lightest adjustable aluminium chair with a powerful frame design offering extraordinary stability and a higher user weight up to 140 kg. Raised lower tubes minimise the pack size and improve transportability. All Nitrum wheelchairs are for users who value pushing efficiency and lightweight design. The Nitrum Hybrid revolutionary design minimises propulsion effort whilst maximising movement.
Key features
- One-handed Folding Back Support
- Adjustable Caster System
- Lightweight and open frame

- Compact wheel lock
Specification
Unmatched rigid ride
The Quickie Nitrum Hybrid employ state-of-the-art materials and principles to minimise weight and maximise strength, so you need less energy to propel. The Nitrum Hybrid with a more bold design starts from 8.4 kg.
Patented oval frame tubing
With fewer stress points due to its elongated sides, Quickies unique oval tubing is stronger than round as it's less likely to flex under pressure. It's also lighter as the shape uses less material.
Premium 7020 Aluminium
Sculpted from high-strength 7020 Aluminium, the frame is specially heat-treated using our patented ShapeLoc technology, so the tubing can be significantly thinner and lighter without any sacrifice to its strength.
Hand welded
Frame clamped castor links and cross-tubes can increase weight and cause energy loss through vibration. The Nitrum is hand-welded into one-complete frame, so you get a stiffer, lighter ride.
Backrest bracket
The forged aluminium backrest bracket is extremely stiff, so it's significantly more energy efficient without sacrificing the adjustability of the backrest angle or height.
Patented castor-link
Instead of multiple parts welded, the castor-link is one hollow-forged component. Stronger, lighter and completely adjustable, the castor angle and height can be changed to improve handling whilst you're in the wheelchair. The castor link length and angle are also personally-tailored to your wheelchair, for the very-best handling, turning and propulsion efficency.
The first Integrated LEDs with removable battery
Mounted on both castor arms and with 3 modes (high, low and blink), the integrated LED's will light-up your night. The power pack provides up-to 4 hours of run time and can be easily detached for recharging or to save you 110g weight.
Compact Wheel Lock
Completely redesigned, the compact brake EVO is stronger, more durable and has a great transfer-friendly deign. Looking to save more weight? The direct mount version provides a 180g weight reduction.
Freestyle Back
This back is all about freedom of movement. By providing a 360-degree range of upper body motion, you can freely twist and turn without catching your backrest posts.
Block and Tackle Seat Upholstery
The easy-to-use tension adjustable straps can be easily tightened in one single movement- and remains tighter over a longer period of time.
Pro options for experienced users
During the development of the Nitrum series, Quickie made it their goal to optimise each component in terms of weight savings and to achieve maximum rigidity. The Nitrum Hybrid Pro takes this principle to extremes. Its frame is characterised by the fixed welded backrest and fixed welded axle which save weight, increase the frame-stiffness and reduce moving parts. The formula is simple: Less moving parts mean less play, less maintenance and a lower weight.
