Product Details


The Magnelite Transit Wheelchair is exceptionally lightweight due to its magnesium alloy frame, ensuring adaptability for both indoor and outdoor use. Combining style with practicality, this wheelchair offers a range of features providing confidence and independence for the user.

Designed with comfort in mind, the wheelchair has a cushioned seating area, and folding armrests that allow for swift and effortless side transfers.

This transit wheelchair is equipped with quick-release rear wheels, facilitating convenient disassembly, storage, and transport. Its user-centric design includes swing-up footplates and a straightforward folding mechanism for enhanced convenience.

For maximum safety, the attendant brakes feature a lockable parking function, preventing unintended movement when the wheelchair is stationary. Additionally, a handbrake adds an extra layer of security, ensuring peace of mind for the user.

With the removable footrests, wheels and cushions, along with a foldable backrest and frame, dismantling and storage is a breeze. With the footrests and wheels removed, the carry weight is just 6.2kg making this one of the lightest transit chairs on the market.

    Just what i was looking for

    Review by Ang Posted on 05/04/2026 10:44:13
    I needed a wheelchair for my mam but as it would me that takes her out, I also needed something that was easy for me to fold and use, but mainly I needed it to be light enough for me to lift in and out of my car. This wheelchair has all of those things as well as being sturdy and comfortable for my mam. Definitely a good choice and would highly recommend this wheelchair.
