Lightweight wheelchairs FAQs

Lightweight wheelchairs are perfect for someone looking for a more portable wheelchair. Lightweight wheelchairs are made with different materials than traditional wheelchairs, so they're lighter and easier to push, self-propel or lift. Many lightweight wheelchairs are foldable making them ideal for travel and day-to-day use – they can be folded away easily into a boot or onto a bus or train.

Lightweight wheelchairs come in a range of different sizes and weights. They typically range from 13kg to 16kg. However, you can opt for ultra lightweight wheelchairs which are even lighter.

The right wheelchair or mobility aid can really help you to either continue enjoying your favourite activities or regain your freedom. It may allow you to get around at home more easily or go out to the local shops and lead a more independent lifestyle.

Anyone with a mobility issue that is hampering their everyday lifestyle could potentially benefit from a lightweight wheelchair, especially if they find that standard wheelchairs are a little heavy to propel.
