Vela Tango 500
The Vela Tango is a unique indoor mobility chair that creates independence for anybody with a disability who has reduced mobility. Vela Tango looks like an office chair with brake and gas lift but it’s more functional than a wheelchair or walker for indoor tasks.
This adjustable chair is walkable and offers stability, with a central brake. The 15cm gas height adjustable feature allows for a greater reach and functionality. The seat can rotate 90° LH and RH. A quick release button will fold back the armrests to accommodate easier transfers to another seat or bed.
The Vela Tango 500 has a 2 part ALB backrest with adjustable lumbar support, including tilt and height adjustability.

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!
