Yes and no. Most of our customization options are already included in the base cost of the wheelchair, providing you with a wide range of choices without additional charges. However, some very unique or specialised requests may incur a customisation fee. The cost of such customisations is dependent on the complexity of the requirement and the time it takes for our engineers to develop a tailored solution to meet your specific needs.

The Rove wheelchair's innovative design combines the unique advantages of both titanium and carbon fibre materials for an optimised experience. Carbon fibre contributes to the chair's ultra-lightweight nature, enhancing manoeuvrability, while its strategic placement in protected areas ensures durability. Titanium material placement ensures that the wheelchair is durable, especially in high-impact and wear-prone zones. Users have praised the smooth, efficient ride quality, attributable in part to carbon fibre's stiffness that allows for greater pushing efficiency without energy loss through frame flex. Additionally, titanium 'lugs' or joints serve as cushioning elements that absorb high-frequency vibrations, making the ride more comfortable compared to wheelchairs constructed solely of carbon fibre.

The Rove wheelchairs are generally lighter than traditional wheelchairs. Additive manufacturing - commonly known as 3D printing - grants us greater flexibility in the design process. This allows for optimised material distribution—adding thickness in high-stress areas and reducing it where it's not needed. This design freedom enables the production of frames that are highly optimised for various loading conditions, making the wheelchair both durable and lightweight. Another advantage of using 3D printing technology is the stylistic freedom it offers. This enables us to create unique and aesthetically pleasing wheelchair designs that are difficult for other manufacturers to replicate using traditional methods. The Rove chair blends durability and innovative designs, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a lightweight yet robust wheelchair.

The ROVE wheelchair has been designed with durability as its primary objective. We understand that the longevity and reliability of your wheelchair are crucial for your mobility and overall confidence. We recognise that wheelchairs have a hard life, being used in all situations in a wheelchair users active daily life. That’s why we've incorporated titanium, a material renowned for its strength and lightness, and commonly used in aerospace applications. The placement of titanium in the wheelchair is used in high-impact and wear-prone areas. The material is thicker in spots where it needs to be, adding to the overall durability of the wheelchair. We have conducted numerous tests to understand the limits of our components, ensuring they meet or exceed durability expectations. Our wheelchair has been tested and certified according to Australian Standards ASNZS 3696, which includes a brutal set of tests. It is certified for user weights up to 110 kg.

Our wheelchairs are designed with travel in mind and are built to be as airline-friendly as possible. While we have engineered them to withstand a variety of conditions, it's worth noting that the treatment of wheelchairs in airline cargo holds can sometimes be unpredictable. While our wheelchairs are robust, we cannot guarantee against potential damage that could occur under such conditions. We always recommend taking additional protective measures when flying, such as discussing specific handling instructions with airline staff.
