Ultra-lightweight wheelchairs · Made in Italy
A wheelchair made for you – so you can move freely
Aria Wheels designs and builds ultra-lightweight active wheelchairs in Italy, with aluminium and magnesium frames. OrthoHouse represents Aria in Cyprus: we assess, measure and configure every chair around your body and lifestyle – and the fitting is free.
“Movement is a right – and everyone should enjoy it equally.”– The idea behind Aria Wheels*

Less weight. More life.
Aria's ultra-light frames cut the overall weight of the wheelchair significantly. That means easier pushing and easier transport – and an easier everyday life.
Easier to push
Less mass means less effort with every push – and less strain on shoulders and arms, day after day.
Easier to transport
Easier to lift into the car – by yourself or by a carer. PLIXA even folds to just 37 cm wide.*
Agile & responsive
A light, correctly set-up chair turns easily and responds instantly – at home, at work and outdoors.
Italian design
Clean lines and many colour and equipment options – a chair that expresses who you are.
Your made-to-measure wheelchair in 4 steps
An active wheelchair is only as good as its fit. That is why we guide you from the first meeting until long after delivery.
