For most of modern history, wheelchairs have been a critical tool for enhancing quality of life for individuals with various limitations. From their early stages as clunky wooden chairs to the streamline, hightech wheelchairs of today, wheelchairs have undergone an incredible transformation. This evolution has been driven by upgrades in materials, design, and the desire to provide users with greater comfort, dependability, and peace of mind. Among the latest innovations, the carbon fiber wheelchair stands out as the top of modern mobility options.

From Covered Wagon To Rocket Ship

The history of the wheelchair starts back in the 5th century B.C. with simple, yet revolutionary,  wheeled furniture being used in multiple different countries. The first recognizable wheelchair didn’t come to fruition until the 16th century when King Philip II of Spain utilized a custom rolling chair. In the 18th century, the “bath chair” was first built, allowing individuals with mobility issues to move about more freely, albeit with the help of an attendant.

The 20th century saw the introduction of foldable wheelchairs, in 1933. This innovation changed personal mobility forever by making wheelchairs more portable and accessible to the general public. Over the following years, aluminum and steel became popular materials, making wheelchairs lighter, stronger and more durable. With each new upgrade, wheelchair technology became easier to use and more affordable.

The Move To Lightweight And Performance Wheelchairs

As wheelchair technology has gotten better, so has the options for performance, comfort, and modularity. The demand for ultra-lightweight, strong materials led to the widespread adoption of aluminum and fiberglass frames. These materials have helped to improve durability while lowering weight, making wheelchairs easier to carry and travel with. However, the quest for the best combination of strength, light weight build, and easy to use design led to the next breakthrough in wheelchairs: carbon fiber wheelchairs.
