Ki Mobility Ethos Rigid Frame Manual Wheelchair
The Ki Mobility Ethos is the ultra-lightweight custom ride that feels as though it floats beneath you.
The Ki Mobility Ethos uses scientifically proven vibration damping technology diminishes vibrations received by the body during normal use. The result is a ride so smooth that cracks and crevices disappear in the wake of every push. Acting in unison the seat frame isolation technology shields the rider from the unceasing onslaught of high frequency vibrations. By isolating the seat frame from the base frame and not connecting the caster wheel to the front end you get a whole new ability to control ride experience. Now every bump and jar that the caster wheel sees is not immediately transferred to your feet and legs.
For any individuals that experience pain and discomfort due to vibration when propelling, the Ki Ethos might be just the wheelchair you’re looking for.
More Information

Navigate city streets, cruise the backroads or tackle cobblestones. No matter where you go, let the Ethos take you there. The Ethos delivers unrivalled ride quality and performance packaged in a strikingly sculpted design that is unlike anything you have ever experienced.
Features:
Iso tech
Iso Tech (Isolation Technology) is a patent pending method of isolating the seat frame from the base frame using vibration damping polymers. These act in unison to significantly reduce vibration that has been linked to pain and fatigue in studies. Also, the casters are no longer attached to the frame you sit on, so vibrations from the casters are not transferred to the footplate and your body.
Whole body vibration
Research has shown that whole body vibration from wheelchair use can be linked to pain and fatigue. Iso Tech significantly reduces the vibrations you feel from rolling over everyday surfaces. No other chair can give you a ride like this.
Performance frame
The base frame has been engineered with incredible rigidity for optimum performance. Its front caster design provides just the right amount of flex to smoothly navigate bumps and cracks. Its also the only rigid frame on the market that lets you independently adjust your wheelbase for increased stability and performance.
Optimisation
The Ethos was designed to make optimisation easy. You can easily adjust the centre of gravity, seat depth and front and rear seat heights to achieve the optimum set up for maximum performance.
Style
Choose from a combination of 21 frame colors, 8 highlights and 8 anodized options. Make it as bright and bold as your personality or make a power statement with a more subtle and sleek design.Technical Specifications
