At 14.5 kg (16.4 kg with battery), the Ultra-Lite" is the lightest motorised wheelchair in the world!
The lightweight aluminium frame is sturdy and rust resistant. It is easy to fold and can be carried into a car by most ladies. It can also stand upright by itself after folding and be pulled along like a trolley.
The dual-control version also allows a caregiver to control the wheelchair from behind. This is particularly useful for caregivers who themselves are also old, and do not have the strength to push the patient over long distances or up a slope.
** NOTE **
The Ultra-Lite "C" version uses resistance brakes, which are light, but user may encounter a slow roll-back on slopes if the joystick is released completely. Users who need the lightest motorised wheelchair and can handle the roll-back or are always accompanied by caregivers can use the "C" version.
The Ultra-Lite "A" version uses magnetic brakes, and does not have a roll-back problem, but weighs 4 kg more. Users who want to have better brakes and do not mind the extra 4 kg of weight can opt for the "A" version.
