The Newton composite footplate is an angle adjustable footplate with rubber inserts for Motion Composites Helio folding wheelchairs. It comes in three sizes and is sold as a pair or by the side.
The Newton composite footplate is an angle adjustable footplate for Motion Composites folding wheelchairs, with rubber inserts in the surface.
What stands out
The composite footplate is the lower cost way to get rubber inserts under the shoe. The plate is a molded composite, and the inserts across its surface add traction so a foot stays put over bumps and on a wet day. The angle adjusts and the plate moves front to back across about 3". It fits the swing-in and swing-out footrests on the Helio A6, Helio A7, Helio C2 and Helio Kids. Size goes by chair width, and you can order the pair or a single side. A chair 12" or 13" wide takes the 4.5" aluminum footplate instead.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- have a Helio folding wheelchair with swing-in or swing-out footrests
- want traction under the shoe
- want an adjustable angle without the cost of carbon
Look elsewhere if you
- have a rigid APEX or Veloce
- have a chair 12" or 13" wide, which takes the 4.5" aluminum footplate
- want to fit it to a chair that is not a Motion Composites
