The Invacare Action 5 is a modern, highly adjustable active wheelchair available in both folding and rigid-frame formats. It’s designed for medium to active users who want a chair that delivers excellent driving performance, tailored comfort, and transport convenience — all in one package.
With its sleek hydroformed frame, optimised geometry, and ability to fine-tune almost every setting, the Action 5 gives users a ride that feels intuitive, light, and agile. It also folds down compactly (folding version), or stays rock solid (rigid version) — the choice is yours.
