These awards recognize manufacturers and industry leaders’ dedication to the community, and encourages them to continue looking for ways to make their products better, in the service of all wheelchair users.
Since the launch of the Mobility Product Awards in 2019, five different Motion Composites products have been honored with this distinction! (Click here to see the 2021 & 2022 Motion Composites’ products that won).
Everyone at Motion Composites is incredibly proud that two of our products have been selected this year. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to understanding the needs of the wheelchair community and our dedication to delivering innovations that address long-overlooked challenges in the Complex Rehab Technology market.
Motion Composites winning products include:
The Motion Composites’ Vision Package in the wheelchair accessories category
Not all disabilities are obvious. Users with low vision or cognitive differences, like dementia, can have trouble finding and using essential wheelchair components, making it more dangerous for them and limiting their independence.
Motion Composites’ Vision Package offers a new solution for wheelchair users with vision impairments or cognitive disabilities specifically designed to enhance the identification of some key features of a wheelchair.
This package is composed of bright orange components that significantly increase the wheelchair’s visibility, ensuring safety and ease of use for those with vision impairments, cognitive disabilities, or when environmental factors hinder sight. This carefully selected color enhances contrasts and makes key wheelchair parts easier to see and use, providing a safer and more confident experience for a wide range of users. It is available on the HELIO C2, the HELIO A7, the HELIO A6, the HELIO Kids, and the MOVE.*
* The HELIO Kids and MOVE wheelchair models are not available in the USA.
More on this product:
- Parts that feature the Vision Package: Newton Wheel lock extensions, footrest latch system, footplate rubber knobs, and armrest caps.
- Retrofittable: It is also possible to order replacement parts specifically to upgrade an existing chair.
- Even more possibilities: When the user's condition permits, the Vision Package can be paired with our Newton Air Grip handrims in Sunkissed Orange, making it even more visible.

EVO Rigid, A Part of the Evo Program in the Wheelchairs, Manual: Ultralight, Growth Category
Wheelchair users often experience changes in their condition, which can affect their needs and requirements over time. These changes can be influenced by a variety of factors. Motion Composites is committed to ensuring that wheelchair users maintain their mobility, comfort, and independence.
A user whose condition has changed can use the EVO Program to get a perfectly adjusted base frame replacement, ensuring optimal fit and ride efficiency. Motion Composite’s EVO Rigid Program gives wheelchair users peace of mind, knowing that any change in their condition won’t leave them with an ill-fitting chair. Everyone involved in the process can confidently choose a chair that meets the user’s current needs, with the confidence they will be covered if there are any changes.
By prioritizing comfort, functionality, and independence, our EVO Program allows you to select a wheelchair that fits perfectly today, with the peace of mind that Motion Composites will support you as your needs evolve. Motion Composites has your back!
More on this product:
- EVO Rigid can also be purchased at any time a need is detected. No need to order the program when ordering the wheelchair.
- It can be used as a growth kit for pediatrics. The EVO Rigid Program allows the frame to evolve with the child.
- There is no need to ship the wheelchair back to Motion Composites. Once ordered, the new frame and parts are shipped directly to the dealer, who can meet with the client to reassemble the wheelchair and ensure proper fit.
