PLIXA is the first folding wheelchair from Aria, the Italian design studio behind some of today's most admired lightweight wheelchairs. Every PLIXA is made to order: seat width and depth, seat heights, centre of gravity and backrest are set to the user's body and lifestyle.
The welded aluminium frame folds in one smooth movement, yet rides with the stiffness and precision you would expect from a rigid active chair.
Fits your body exactly
Seat width 340–460 mm and depth 380–480 mm in 20 mm steps – no "nearest size" compromises.
Rigid-chair feel
Welded frame with a clean, solid ride – efficient pushing and precise control.
Folds in one motion
Closed width just 350 mm (0° camber) or 370 mm (3° camber) – fits easily in a car boot.
Ultra-light
Around 7.8 kg without rear wheels – easier to lift, load and handle every day.
Your driving style
Centre of gravity set to prudent, standard or active – from maximum stability to maximum agility.
Camber choice
0° or 3° rear-wheel camber.
Backrest options
Backrest height 240–405 mm, angle 80° / 85° / 90°.
Italian design
Clean lines and soft curves from Aria – a chair that looks as good as it rides.
