Vela Tango 100
Walkable Indoor Activity Chair
The Vela Tango is a functional indoor activity chair that gives people with disabilities who have limited movement more independence. Vela Tango appears like an office chair with brake and electric lift, but it has much more on offer, and it’s so much more practical for inside chores than a wheelchair or walker.
With a central brake, this adjustable mobility chair is walkable and secure. The gas height adjustable feature and 360° rotation seat, allow for greater function, reach, and easy transfers to another seat or bed.
The Vela Tango 100 has a low backrest supporting the lower back and allowing free movement of the back, shoulders and arms. It is tilt and height adjustable.
Product Code: XVE6021

My wonderful kitchen help. The Vela Chair!
I have multiple sclerosis which has caused me the need to use a Vela Activity Chair in my kitchen. I met Ian Wylie (M&P Acccount Manager) the day he brought my Vela Chair. Such a great knowledgeable man who showed me all the functions of the chair. It really surprised me on how easy it is to use. It tilts me towards towards my bench, will go up and down, swivel around and has a break to safely stop and keep the chair in place. I couldn’t be happier with my wonderful kitchen help the Vela chair!

The Vela Chair Allowed Leanne to Continue to Work
“I have been using this chair in an office setting since early 2020. The difference this chair has made to me is between continuing to work or having to leave my job. That to me is a big deal, as it is hard enough to find employment when you have a disability. Prior to having this chair my legs and feet were extremely tired and sore by the end of the day and then very restless at night making it hard to sleep. The ability for the chair to lower right down to nearly the floor, has been very helpful to get to the bottom draws of the filing cabinets etc.
I no longer have to ask someone for help all the time. Being as independent as possible is a big plus.”

I regained my independence
It means a lot to me to be able to carry out the daily tasks that I’ve always done my whole life. Now I can happily prepare food for several days and it makes a world of difference that I can peel the potatoes myself. Good food means a lot for living well with arthritis – and it boosts my desire to do other things.
