Wheelchair Components

Newton has been making aluminum angle adjustable footplates for some years. Now we’re upping the ante with a composite footplate engineered to be even lighter than our best-selling model.

We added rubber inserts for greater safety and traction and a new look for a refreshed appearance. Newton Composite Footplates. Step up to higher performance componentry.

Designed for the ultimate in COMFORT and PROTECTION and can AID in HEALING existing sores and/or abrasions. These arm rest pads are GEL on a wood base with neoprene nylon cover and plastic base guard. They bolt on and hardware is provided.

The Light Drive can be used by nearly all wheelchair users. It turns your manual wheelchair into an ultra-light, high-performance electric wheelchair in a matter of seconds.

The Light Drive is controlled with a joystick and yet remains as manoeuvrable and as easy to use as a manual chair. By releasing the clutch you can free wheel giving you the freedom to choose when to use it.

Installed in about 20 seconds, the speed is controlled with a twisting accelerator handle mounted on one of the rear handles. Safety is improved as the Light Assist holds the chair back when going downhill.

(Contact us for more complex wheelchairs) Can be transported by plane (12 Ah lithium battery) Removable Discreet and unobtrusive design Colour of your choice Tackles almost any terrain Indoors/outdoors

The NEW SmartDrive MX2 +  now with the PushTracker wristband makes the already award-winning wheelchair power assist even better—it will truly change your life. It can power you up steep hills and through thick carpet. It's intuitive to use and will go for miles on a single charge. Turn on, get out there and rediscover your independence!

Why should you have to wear gloves or endure the cold and slippery feel of a bare metal handrim? Why accept repetitive stress injuries to your hands? Your wheelchair should be easy to manoeuvre in all situations: handrims should provide a comfortable, effective hold at all times. Why settle for a standard, anonymous style? Your wheelchair should reflect who you are as a person. Find your place, make an impression, and assert your style.

When it comes to overall energy efficiency and comfort, every detail counts — especially where the rubber hits the road. This is why we engineered the Newton Ultracaster for reduced rolling resistance, giving you greater speed, comfort and mobility. Plus, it’s a Newton component, which means sleek design and flawless functionality. Newton Ultracasters. Available in durable and lightweight composite or aluminum.

Turn your manual wheelchair into a compact electric wheelchair with the Alber E-fix add-on drive. The E-fix drive can be individually programmed and can therefore be adapted perfectly to your personal needs. The E-fix add-on drive is the simple way to increase your freedom of movement. The E-fix also allows you to cover greater distances and handle slopes effortlessly.

Conventional grips will only get you so far. Standard plastic coating adds weight and heats up easily with friction. And if the coating cracks and peels, it can injure hands. Plus, conventional grips…all look the same!

Enter the Newton Airgrip. Our coating is engineered to reduce overall weight by a remarkable 1 lb. It won’t peel or crack, so it’s safer. And our coating will reduce hand-burning heat as you stop or slow down. Best of all, Newton Airgrips are available in a range of eye-popping colors. Plus standard black, of course. Newton Airgrips. Lighten up!

With repeated use, standard wheel locks will eventually loosen and fail. Not ours. Newton Wheel Locks feature an ingenious spring mechanism that’s significantly more durable and functional than a standard wheel lock. Plus, they’re engineered from composite materials, so you save 1.3 oz compared to their aluminum counterparts.

Because they’re Newton components, they offer awesome aesthetics. Newton Wheel Locks. The lighter, more secure, more durable solution.
