Good Lightweight wheelchair
Joseph B. Deckard•January 6, 2018
Very light and sturdy, perfect for a 100lb wife when transporting a 95 year old aunt to the doctor. Easy to fold and put in the trunk without any help.
Very handy for travel wont fit taller people

Very light and compact so easy to carry and transport. Negatives are the wheels are a bit soft so rolling resistance is high and it's also built for short people. Normal US people will require at least a seat bottom cushion to get comfortable...maybe two! Lacks adjustments.
It's light enough that I can load and unload it easily. I am 5'1" and weigh about 130 lbs

This wheelchair has afforded me so much more independence. I am able to fold up the chair, sit it behind the drivers seat of my vehicle and go where I want to go without any assistance. It's light enough that I can load and unload it easily. I am 5'1" and weigh about 130 lbs. and the chair is comfortable for me. However if I were much taller or heavier, the fit might be tight . The foot pedals are adjustable and I have them fully extended and it works for me but if I were taller, the length might bring my knees up to an an uncomfortable level. The chair handles smoothly.
Nice chair. But has a couple of dislikes.

I got my new wheelchair in today. It only weighs 24 pounds. So I've been test driving it the last hour. So far I like it. The front wheels are a lot smaller, 5 inches in diameter compared to 8 inches standard, which I've always liked.
The large wheels are smaller than a standard wheelchair as well. They are 21 inches in diameter compared to 24 inches in a standard chair. The seat width and depth are the same, 16 inches deep by 18 inches wide.
I am going to try to adjust to it because frankly I like it. And since I'm going to forever be in a wheelchair I might as well sit in something I like.
The back folds down in half to make it a "sport" type chair. I tried it out, I don't particularly care for it because my back feels like it doesn't have support. But I may overtime give it a try. I think one of the reasons I feel uncomfortable with that is that it did not come with anti-tippers. And looking online they cost $60. So that's a definite con against the chair.
The only other con about the chair is the arm rests. They are welded in place so they can't be removed or tilted out of the way. And it's going to leave my inner arm with bruises. I can get onto my toilet with them being there however, so that is good. I haven't tried to get on my bed yet or into my car with armrests that are in place. Those feats I'll let you know once I give it a try. So other than NO anti-tippers which makes me nervous going outside and the armrests that I can't remove it's a wonderful little chair.
I have to seriously get outdoors with it once my brother gets here, after his day of chopping wood to see if it's going to be good enough for outdoors and if it is, I'll order the anti-tippers. Otherwise for a $303 chair, so far, it's not bad at all.
Oh, and it comes with a seatbelt. How funny is that. But it being lighter it might be a good idea for me to wear it, LOL 😂
I am a double above knee amputee so it coming with leg/foot rests is a moot point for me. I wish they would've gave an option to have anti-tippers instead of leg/foot rests. And I would suggest to the designers to make the armrests removable. a lot of us permanent wheelchair-bound people don't care for them. They simply get in the way.

My Karmen Wheelchair
Ronald N.•May 25, 2017
Good day - I just purchased the wheelchair and it arrived on time and in good order. I now find that I must purchase the anti-tippers before using the chair to any extent. For I weigh 245lbs and am 6'2" in height. Now the major complaint that I have is the fact that operation and maintenance instructions are slim to none. Along with the chair I received a small multi purpose wrench. For what? I would certainly appreciate any more instructions the seller could give me.But all in all it is an attractive chair that moves along quite well. Thank you, and now I am off to order the anti-tippers.
