Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Ultra Lightweight Aluminium Self Propelled Wheelchair suit you?
A smart pick for an active user who wants a chair that is light to load into the car. The aluminium frame folds, the backrest folds in half, and the 24 inch rear wheels and footrests release quickly. Desk-style armrests let you pull in close to a table, and there is a choice of 17 or 20 inch seat.
With two seat widths to pick from, the sensible plan is to sit in both at a showroom, try wheeling yourself, and practise taking it apart and lifting it. Call ahead and we will have the right one ready.
