The following overviews and tips should answer some queries or questions that you may have and help get you on your way.

Rigid Ultra lightweight Wheelchairs
Rigid wheelchairs are by far the most popular choice in ultra lightweight wheelchairs. The rigid frame eliminates the additional hardware and mechanisms of a folding frame and therefore enables a lighter weighing which will increase the response and performance. These wheelchairs have a long list of options including the basics like push handles and flip-up armrests to Spinergy SPOX wheels and light-up front casters.

Folding Ultra lightweight Wheelchairs
This style of wheelchair is ideal for transporting your wheelchair behind the seat of your car or can’t live without swing-away leg rests but don’t want to sacrifice weight or performance, then a folding ultra lightweight wheelchair is the choice for you. These wheelchairs offer all the options of a rigid ultra lightweight wheelchair with the benefit of being able to fold up with a tug on the seat upholstery.

Titanium Ultra lightweight Wheelchairs
Titanium is the material of choice these days for its strength,lightness, durability and the built-in shock absorption of the metal itself. The wheel chairs come in both folding and rigid titanium chairs. Titanium wheelchairs are generally more expensive and may take a little longer to custom build.
