Light wheelchair recommendations

randombar

Hi folks,

Dad has a motorised wheelchair (stroke) which is quite heavy. We can take off the motor etc but the chair itself is still heavy enough.

He can walk a bit but not very far and Mam would like to take him out more.

Are there any recommendations for a lightweight chair that someone can sit in comfortably while someone else pushes them?

I'm thinking with these ultralight bikes with carbon frames, surely there's the same for wheelchairs.

Thanks.

You do know you have posted in 2 threads that are a year old? I would hope by now they solved their problem.
