5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely delighted

J.S. · December 31, 2020

From the very beginning, I reviewed numerous listings on Bolo for lightweight wheelchairs and I narrowed it down to a few. The one I decided on, this one was a great price for the construction, weight, and quality of materials all meaning Value.Shipping arrived a full three weeks before expected which surprised and delighted me.When the box arrived, it was undamaged and although handicapped, I could drag, NOT LIFT, it into my house alone.In the house, it was easy to open and remove the chair 99.9% already assembled (foot rests, and safety bars if wanted snap into the chair easily). All the wheels are already attached.I opened the seat by pulling up on the two seat straps and quickly rode to the kitchen. The chair is a dream to ride on hard floors like wood or tile (I use my feet and hands to drive). On carpet, it's relatively easier than most chairs that don't have a motor especially the Transport Only chairs ! On carpet, I can still do a ZTR (Zero Turn Radius) turn without difficulty.The supplied cushions, although attractive and best for travel) are a little thin for me so I use my 1" seat cushion.You could put the supplied cushions over your own cushions and be very satisfied. The hand grips are padded and uncomfortable.Construction is a dream, the chair is very light with an appealing bright like color, it looks like aluminum but the ad states it's a magnesium allow which I support since I didn't try to melt it. All the welded joints are superior and attractive, not messy and blobby like cheaper steel chairs. The chair opens and folds like the flaps on a carboard box, in other words, you won't kill your shoulders to folds and unfold it - yeah ! The seat back folds and unfolds easy also.The chair that I bought on Bolo through this posting CAME WITH the security tip over legs in the back and the two foot rests, rider wheel brakes, hand brakes for the person pushing, and a CARRY BAG.Folks, I want to finish by saying a few more things. There are Internet listings for similar (identical actually) chairs that start with a somewhat less price BUT after you request Magnesium alloy, hand brakes, foot rests, travel bag, Premium [free] shipping, expect the Internet cost to be higher.You can purchase a must less expensive chair but keep in mind what you're getting, steel, chair only, lopsided, heavy, sans case and probably sans cushion.Finally, if the time comes to sell this chair on your own, you won't just accept $25-$75 for it.Good fortune to you. BTW, I have Lumbar L3-S1 painful herniated disks and I love this chair.

Very impressed with this wheelchair! Lightweight at 25.1 pounds (according to my doctors in-floor scale), sturdy construction, easy to fold and Lora’s into the rear seat of the car, nice comfortable seat.The dual action handles keep the office nurses guessing at times though…squeeze to brake, push down to act as a parking brake without having to lock the wheels individually. Most will try to help by locking the wheels by hand when in the exam room, and are impressed with the ability to lock while leaving both hands on the handles.With practice you can fold it up with one hand and have it in the car in less than ten seconds. The leg/footrests swing out of the way with a pull on the lock handle and are easy to remove and replace. I leave them on, just fold them to the side and load it in the car.I would definitely recommend to a friend if they needed one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best. User since 2023.

GREAT CHAIR. I bought this in 2023 for my mom who is 5’3 175 lbs.First of all, I tested it myself. I mean I really tested it, practically beat it up! Back and forth on NYC concrete, cracks, driveway, even just sat in it to test its comfort. It's comfortable and It withstood the beating (which wouldn’t be done under normal use anyway).Then I started using it for mom—-taking her to and from doc appointments, picking her up from hospital, and just taking her for “walks” in the neighborhood.It gets a lot of compliments for its good looks.For me, I love its light weight, how strong and sturdy and safe it is. I love the easy folding and unfolding and disassembly.One drawback is the seatbelt is not long enough.

I've been using it for a month now.THE PROS:1. Truly lightweight, my husband (the pusher) is so relieved with how it handles from his perspective, he says it even pushes easier on carpet.2. Size is perfect for eating at a restaurant table or doing projects3. Leg paddle releases are easy to handle.4. Two sets of brakes, one set for pusher and one set for sitter5. Leg paddles are a good height, they don't stick out too far that your feet bang into things6. Has an outside pocket on back, fairly large7. Sturdy, I weigh 185 and it handles well with my weight.8. Tires do not leave "skid" marks (not that I go that fast!)9. Easy to fold and lift into car10. Sits a little higher than my transport chair, I use a memory foam cushion for added heightTHE CONS:1. Welding spots on wheel grip are a bit rough2. Need fingerless gloves to self propel as my digits catch on the spoke frame.3. Leg paddles are too close together, barely enough room to lift leg between them to place on paddle.4. Would like an inside pocket on the side panels, reachableWe are delighted with this chair...and are hoping it lasts a loooong time!

Being 80 years old, the heavier wheel chair that my husband had used for nearly two years, was becoming a burden for me to be able to assist him. But, WOW, this chair is lighter and easier for me to navigate from behind. I find that the extra hand brakes at the rear are useful and the seat is a good fit for him, too. I can load it into our van by myself! Both patients and doctors have given us great comments on our choice.One drawback is the lower seat height. We added an extra (medical grade) 3-inch cushion and it has not presented a tip-over hazard.
