Fly-Lite

Very light. Very easy to fold. Rolls smoothly on roads, pavements and grass. We got the burgandy model and it looks fabulous. No assembly is required, beyond attaching the footrests.

As others have pointed out, it doesn't come with a belt that you can tie around it when folded. I keep it in the back of my minivan where it remains folded. I use the Fly-Lite's seat belt to tether it to a car seat.

light, easy to transport, well built, nice appearance.

small wheels make it hard to go over bumps. Perhaps 9 or 10" front wheels might help this?

Purchased to use for my Mother who is in a nursing home. Pleased with the weight (14.5 pounds) - makes it possible for me to lift it.

It folds up easily and is much lighter than a regular wheelchair, which makes it much easier to get it in and out of the car, which in turn makes it much easier to take my aunt along when I run errands.

The mesh cup holder in the back of the chair could be a little bigger.

Quality of construction, light weight, compactness when folded, ease of fold/unfold, stability during use; My profession is product design, so I am a very demanding consumer. This chair really exceeds my expectations! My 78-year old mother has absolutely no problem loading it into their car, giving my parents a new sense of confidence that no matter what happens to dad's strength on any outing, they will still be safely mobile! Thanks for a great design, well executed and accurately described!

Light weight, and easy to open/fold.

86 year old. Limited mobility.

Lightweight is the key strength....you are five pounds, or more, lighter than the next in line. The swing away foot rests aid in transferring the patient.

I observed no weaknesses, but we are cautious of the small diameter wheels which could fall in a crack easier and more abruptly. Maybe you could offer different sized wheels as an option for customers to customize their chair.

I purchased the chair for a friend of mine because his wife could not lift his regular chair into the car. They are happy...so am I!
