As the name suggests, the Featherweight wheelchair is a very lightweight model that is made with durable components yet only weighs 13.5 pounds. The chair is made with lighter and stronger new materials, which provide strength without heft. This makes it easier to lift the chair into a vehicle or generally move it around.
This is an ideal chair for lighter users. This is the best lightweight manual wheelchair but it does have a fairly low maximum weight capacity compared to other chairs on our list. It can support a body weight of up to 250 pounds, so larger users will not be safe using the chair.
What are its best features?
- What we loved most about this chair is how it can fold quickly and easily into a very compact form. Unfolding the chair takes only a minute, making it very fast and simple to fold up when not in use or to transport. This is a great feature for those with limited space or who need to frequently travel by car. There are also integrated brakes that lock for the ultimate security and safety.
What could be improved?
- The potential downside to this chair is that while it is a premium product, it does have a premium price tag. The manufacturer claims that the materials are brand new and offer strength and lightweight characteristics, but this does come at a cost. So, you’ll need to be prepared for a higher price tag than many other models on the market, but it is well worth the additional cost.
