MEYRA NANO R Rigid Active Wheelchair
Lightweight. Responsive. Built Around You.
The MEYRA NANO R (often marketed simply as the MEYRA NANO) is a premium rigid-frame active wheelchair designed for people who demand exceptional performance, efficiency and everyday independence. With its sleek mono-tube frame, lightweight construction and extensive adjustment options, the NANO R delivers excellent driving characteristics while being tailored to the individual user.
Whether you're navigating busy streets, commuting to work or enjoying an active lifestyle, the NANO R offers outstanding manoeuvrability, comfort and reliability.
Why Choose the MEYRA NANO R?
Unlike folding wheelchairs, the NANO R features a rigid frame, providing greater stiffness and more efficient power transfer with every push. Less energy is lost through frame flex, making propulsion easier and helping reduce fatigue over longer distances.
The clean open-frame design also makes the wheelchair simple to lift into a vehicle while maintaining the strength needed for everyday use.
