Overall weight is a large factor of consideration if the wheelchair is going to be carried in a car trunk, backseat, or propelled by an individual. Some standard steel framed chairs can weigh as much as 50-lbs. and can be too difficult to push, propel, carry, or lift. More popular lightweight wheelchairs range in weight from 28-lbs to 36-lbs and are easier to lift into a car trunk.
A person's condition may determine the weight of a chair too for example, if a patient has suffered a stroke, has limited mobility, arthritis,etc they may not be able to propel a heavier chair. However, this same patient may be able to propel a lightweight wheelchair.
