Helio A6

At 13.1 lb, the Helio A6 is light enough to lift into your trunk yourself — no help needed at the curb. Fold it down without pulling the wheels off, then push off knowing the unibody frame won’t flex and waste your energy with every stroke. Configure it below — every choice updates the running weight, the estimated overall width, and the price in real time.

Motion Composites Helio A6
Roll further on less energy, without paying for it
A 7005-series aluminum frame makes the A6 the value entry point into the Helio folding line — you still get the fold-without-removing-wheels convenience the whole Helio family shares.
A fit built around you, not the nearest notch
Seat-to-floor height adjusts across a wide range so the chair can be dialed to your exact measurements instead of picking from a handful of preset heights.
Upgrade a part later, not the whole chair
Wheels, casters, handrims, and backrests use the same option set as the rest of the Helio line, so upgrading a component later doesn’t mean replacing the frame.
Room to grow, without starting over
The HD frame option raises capacity to 350 lb for a modest weight and price increase, without moving to a different model.

Body-Fit Dimensions

These measurements set how the chair fits your body. Most are fixed at build time — take a minute to get them right.

Seat Width16"

The internal frame width — the single dimension that drives overall width.

How to measure / choose

Sit on a firm, flat surface and measure across the widest point of your hips or thighs. Add ½–1" of clearance. Too wide forces an inefficient, shoulder-stressing push arc; too narrow causes pressure at the outer hips. This is fixed at time of build — get it right.

Frame CapacityStandard — 265 lb

The standard frame is rated to 265 lb. The Heavy-Duty package reinforces it to a 350 lb capacity.

Seat Depth16"

How far the seat extends under your thighs.

How to measure / choose

Sit with your back against a wall and measure from the wall to the crease behind your knee, then subtract 1–2" of clearance. Too deep cuts off circulation behind the knee; too shallow tilts the pelvis forward and puts too much pressure on your sitting bones.

Front Seat-to-Floor Height16"

Front seat height — sets whether your feet rest flat with thighs parallel to the seat.

How to measure / choose

With your shoes on, measure from the floor to the back of your knee while seated, then account for cushion thickness. Too high lifts your thighs off the seat and increases pressure on your sitting bones; too low lets your feet drag. Adjustable in fine increments, so small corrections are easy to make.

Rear Seat-to-Floor Height15"

Rear seat height — combined with front height it sets the seat slope ("dump").

How to measure / choose

Usually set 1–3" lower than the front height to create rearward seat slope ("dump"), which improves pelvic stability and propulsion. Constrained by rear wheel size and axle position — if your chosen combination isn’t achievable, I’ll flag it before your chair is built.

Seat to Footrest14"

Sets which footrest hardware range fits — defaults to 2" less than your front height, editable.

How to measure / choose

Measured from the seat surface down to the footplate. As a rule of thumb this defaults to 2" less than your front seat-to-floor height, but you can change it — get up in your existing chair or a fitted one and measure directly if you have one. This measurement, together with the footrest angle you pick under Footrests & Front Frame, determines the specific hardware built for you. The 90° (most tucked) angle has a notably narrower achievable range than the swing-away angles — about 8"–14" versus 14"–20" — since the foot sits higher and more upright under the seat.

Qué sucede después de ordenar
  • Daryl revisa tu configuración exacta. Antes de fabricar nada, una revisión clínica confirma que la configuración tiene sentido para tu cuerpo y tus objetivos — y te contactamos directamente con cualquier inquietud o ajuste sugerido.
  • Se fabrica según tus medidas. Debido a que cada Helio A6 se fabrica a medida por pedido, no admite devoluciones. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los parámetros siguen siendo ajustables después de la entrega, y la silla se puede mejorar con el tiempo (ruedas, casters, respaldo y más).
  • Incluye una llamada de seguimiento. Después de que llega tu silla, tienes una sesión por video o audio para ajustar la posición del eje, la inclinación del asiento y el ajuste general — para que la silla funcione bien desde el primer día.
  • El peso y el ancho mostrados aquí son estimados. El peso del marco (13.1 lb) y los precios de las opciones son exactos; los pesos de los componentes y el ancho total son estimados claramente indicados. Confirmamos el ancho total final con la calculadora oficial de Motion Composites antes de colocar tu pedido.
