The most customizable active wheelchair. Modern design and an open frame. The Argon² active wheelchair combines maximum flexibility and adjustability with the advantages of a rigid frame wheelchair. It is therefore particularly suitable for paraplegics and quadriplegics whose requirements change over time, as well as for initial provision.
I have been driving it for 3 months now. After a long search for a medical supply store, I found one that provided me with various wheelchairs for a test drive, and on-site I decided on the Argon. After about 3 weeks it arrived at my home and we discussed every detail, he said what is on the prescription must be there. After an eternity I received it and it is great, I hardly notice cobblestones, it is very easy to drive, this is the best one I've had so far.

Adjustability is great, everything else was difficult
The Sopur Argon2 was/is my 3rd active wheelchair. First of all, I must say that the wheelchair was poorly fitted by the medical supply store and was not changed at all after delivery despite my request, which negatively influenced my experience. But here, as with other Sopur wheelchairs as well, I had major problems with longevity. When I tipped backward for the first time after about 9 months, the backrest brace was bent after the fall; to continue using the wheelchair, we had to hammer it half-straight again with a hammer. I still find the Sopur side guards absolutely terrible when you have a folding backrest; due to this folding function of the side guards, it is unnecessarily complicated to stow the wheelchair because you cannot fold the backrest unless the wheels are removed. In addition, for folding, there have to be over 1cm wide spacers between the side guard and the tubes, which made the effective seat width much too wide; instead of the required 44cm (which were measured incorrectly), it is 47.6cm according to the folding rule. The side guards kept bending anyway and wobbled, and unfortunately I could hear the rattling noises while driving quite well despite my hearing impairment. At least they couldn't be used for pressure relief, but the highlight was when the screws loosened and the side guard fell onto my wheel while driving because it was no longer attached at the back. After 1.5 years of use, hardly any parts are original, the footplate had to be replaced because the old one completely broke through, the side guards jam and no longer fold, and the screws that are still original can be counted on one hand. I am glad as soon as I am rid of this chair!
Pros
very adjustable (if the medical supply store does its job)
good beginner wheelchair if you overlook the constant repairs
