Most lightweight wheelchairs weigh approximately 30 pounds, and they are designed to be easy to operate by the person inside the chair. Of course, the light weight of the chair also makes it easier for another person to operate and maneuver the chair from behind. These chairs are available in either rigid or folding styles and are ideal for indoor use on smooth surfaces.

Options for the chairs

There are many different options available to customize a lightweight wheelchair:

• There are a variety of choices for the style of frame for the chair. This includes the actual frame design, color scheme, and type of material used to build the frame.
• The backs of the chairs can be designed to be adjusted to most any angle the rider prefers.
• Upholstery for these chairs is usually available in several different materials.most commonly vinyl and nylon.
• Each chair offers options in terms of the type of wheels that are installed. They can be anything from the standard plastic wheels to air-filled wheels that offer a smoother ride.
• Both the height and size of lightweight models are very adjustable in order to suit the owner's personal preferences.
• Most any other part of the chair can also be customized, including the armrests, height of the chair, leg rests, etc.

Ultra lightweight wheelchairs

People who intend to do a very large amount of traveling in their chair may prefer the benefits of an ultra-lightweight model. They come with the same options listed above, but they are designed to weigh as little as 14 pounds, which makes them exceptionally easy to operate on a regular basis. There is no style of chair available that is lighter than this model.

Lightweight chairs offer a large amount of freedom and mobility to their users. Because of their lightweight design, they generally have a weight limit of 250 pounds.
