more manageable for car transport etc. With the model »Avantgarde T« with single-panel foot-
rest you can swing away the left part of the footrest with footplate to the outside to reduce the

tach the footrests, thus reducing the overall length of the wheelchair.

cluded in the standard version) (Fig. 6).
Reach into the spokes close to the hub of the rear wheel and press the button on the quick-re-

responding procedure when remounting.
