Enigma Super Deluxe

I have an Enigma Super Deluxe. It is nice and light, with some nice features. Very comfy! and pretty manoeverable.

Only slight quibble I have, and it is only a very teeny tiny problem, when you fold it you have to take the seat cover off, this means putting it on every time you get it out the car, which is fine, except on windy days when the velcro sticks itself in all the wrong places, but other than that it only takes seconds to put together. My son doesn't take the wheels off to fold mine, it is plenty light enough for him to lift in and out with them on, and will fit either in my boot or behind the seats.

It doesn't automatically come with a cushion either, but then people want different things from a wheelchair cushion, so if you want one you can go ahead and choose your own.

It all works very smoothly and with flip up arms gets nice and close to desk etc. and makes transferring easy.

The wheels are adjustable easily, it comes with the tool to do them, there are a few other adjustments you can make too. The seat cover incorporates a deep pocket at the back, I'm not keen on using a bag on back of seat, hard to reach for a start, and there's the security, but it has really strong velcro on, no chance of anyone getting in there without me hearing the ripping sound!!! (good to keep your pump in if using 'air' tyres) some suppliers seem to offer it with mag wheels.
