Best Ultra Lightweight Wheelchairs

If you spend a lot of time travelling then you probably want an ultra-lightweight wheelchair that is foldable and portable that you can easily lift and fit in the boot of your car.

With hundreds of wheelchairs on the Australian market, it can be difficult to sift through all the wheelchairs to find the perfect one for your needs.

Fortunately, we've compiled a list of the lightest wheelchairs you can find on the Australian market. All of the wheelchairs listed here weight less than 13kg, and some as low as 8kg!

Considerations when Buying Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair

If you are wondering which ultra-lightweight wheelchair is best for you it really depends on a number of factors such as:

  • Propulsion Mechanism: Will you need a Self Propelled or Attendant Propelled Wheelchair? If you are unable to push yourself due to arthritis, surgery or another condition, then an Attendant Propelled Wheelchair will be more beneficial and is more compact and lightweight.
  • Weight Capacity: Ideally you want a lightweight wheelchair that can withstand your weight +20% buffer. For instance, if you weigh 100kg, then it would be best to get a wheelchair that can withstand 120kg of weight.
  • Seat Width: Ensuring that you are stable and comfortable while sitting down is vital especially if you are going to spend a lot of time sitting on this wheelchair. It is recommended to measure from the widest part of your buttocks, hips or thighs and add 4cm to this measurement to find seat width needed.
  • Riding Surfaces: Where will you be using your wheelchair? If you plan to use it outdoors and on rougher surfaces then you may want larger and more durable wheels, made of rubber as opposed to plastic.
  • Portability: Does the wheelchair have Half-Folding Backrest, which allows you to fold it into a compact form for storage in the boot?
  • Safety Features: Do you require a wheelchair that includes a seat belt and heel straps for extra safety? What about attendant handbrakes?
