The history of Panthera
Founded in Sweden in 1986 by Jalle Jungnell, Panthera became part of Permobil in 2022. Panthera has always aimed to create the world's lightest wheelchair, and the new carbon fibre Panthera X3, weighing just 2.3 kg, is a testament to that vision.
Panthera's manual wheelchairs prioritise user-friendliness, quality, and lightweight design, catering to both adults and children. Their exceptional manoeuvrability and low weight make them perfect for active lifestyles, while the ultra-light models are specifically crafted for very active users accustomed to handling finely balanced wheelchairs.
