The Panthera U3 is a sleek, lightweight, and highly responsive active wheelchair, ideal for users who want the perfect mix of performance and usability. Designed in Sweden with minimalist engineering and built from premium 7020 aluminium, the U3 gives experienced users a smooth, stable ride with just the right level of control.
With a slightly more supportive design than the U3 Light, the Panthera U3 is a top choice for those with good trunk control who want adjustability in a super-light package. It offers subtle flexibility in the frame and seating position to accommodate long days, without compromising on the speed, handling, or reliability Panthera is known for.
