TiLite

TiLite has been around for close to three decades. The company just didn't make wheelchairs in the early years. Back then the company made titanium bike frames, golf shafts, motorcycle frames, and a huge variety of custom, one-off titanium projects. The company also made titanium wheelchair parts for a few wheelchair manufacturers. Then, in the lat... e 1990's, the company began to wonder whether it would make sense to apply the company's knowledge of customization to wheelchairs. In other words, would a wheelchair frame that is fabricated to fit a single person make it perform better for that person? The company knew it would fit better and be more comfortable, but would this ergonomic improvement make it easier to push? It turns out that it would. The company now call this process TiFit. And what about aesthetics? Many of the company's bike and motorcycle customers demanded well-built products that looked beautiful too. What if the company applied the same attitude toward wheelchairs? And what would a wheelchair look like if the company placed demands on ourselves to make the company's custom wheelchairs look beautiful? The first customized and beautiful TiLite wheelchair came to life in 1998 as the CrossSport. Redesigned to be lighter and better looking three times since then, the company now call it the TR, the company's flagship chair. The company's mission today is simple: Make the best fitting, best performing, and best looking wheelchairs in the world. The company put the company's hearts and souls into it, and that's one thing that will never change.Read More
