The Panthera S3 is a modern, rigid-frame active wheelchair designed for users who want an excellent balance of lightweight performance and adjustable comfort. Built from strong yet ultra-light 7020 aluminium, the S3 blends Swedish precision engineering with practical, user-friendly features — making it a reliable companion for daily use both indoors and out.
Unlike the U3 Light, the S3 includes built-in adjustability in the seat angle, backrest height and angle, and footrest positioning — making it ideal for those who want a performance wheelchair with a more supportive or rehab-focused setup. This makes the S3 a perfect choice for users with moderate to good core stability, who still benefit from postural support and positioning options.
