SPECIAL OFFER ultra lightweight wheelchair

Product Details

The Ultra Lightweight Self-Propelled Wheelchair offers an exceptional combination of strength, comfort, and portability, making it an excellent choice for both occasional and everyday use. Weighing just 13kg (2 stone), its robust aluminium frame delivers impressive durability while remaining easy to lift, fold, and transport — perfect for car journeys or compact storage.

Designed for independent mobility, this self-propelled model features 61cm (24") quick-release rear wheels with easy-grip handrails, allowing the user to move smoothly and confidently. The lightweight design ensures effortless manoeuvrability, while locking cable brakes on the attendant push handles add safety and control when required.

Comfort is built in, with a flexible, breathable seat fabric, padded armrests, and swing-away footrests that make side transfers easier. The armrests are a practical ‘desk-style’ shape, allowing the user to roll up close to tables or work surfaces without obstruction.

With a folding frame for portability, puncture-proof tyres, and a choice of seat widths, this wheelchair delivers the versatility, reliability, and ease of use that make it one of the most popular models in its class.

Free Insurance Cover for a month

This Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair comes with an optional FREE one-month, worldwide insurance package that includes 24/7 breakdown recovery as well as protection from accidental damage. You'll also be covered should you accidentally injure someone or damage their property when using your Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair and protected from theft and vandalism.

After you complete your purchase, we'll tell you more about the cover and offer you the chance to activate your free month of insurance with no obligation and no payment details required.
