Aero Z Series 2

About as inexpensive as a custom ultralight chair can get and a good starter chair for its adjustability. It's sleek and and very customizable. It also turns well and is compact. Overall, I'm grateful for this chair.

I've already run into a few issues after only a month of use. I got the default tilite tires and they need to be pumped up very frequently. Also, one of the interior parts of my left caster wasn't sealed properly, so it has already rusted and will need to be replaced. I also got the frame in white and a lot of the paint has chipped.

The Aero Z is super lightweight and stylish. The first day I took it out I pushed nearly 7 miles going over sidewalks, parking lots, rough terrain and it's small and narrow enough to navigate the tightest spaces. I'm impressed with the build and ride quality and the Aero Z series 2 is easy to maintain as well. Ti-Lite has done an exceptional job with the user manual as it is quick to navigate and I highly recommend the Aero Z or similar Ti-Lite series to any new chair user!

It's tough for me to find any criticisms of this wheelchair but I do notice since I went with 26 inch wheels the side guard options seem tiny. Even the largest option (13 inches long - 7.5 tall) is still too small in my opinion.

Lightweight, ease of use.

The width of wheels from the frame when you put clothing guards on. They can rub on the wheel so if the cushion is wide. Also putting anti tip bars on are a pain and way too much work.

This is a smooth ride that is well-made and durable. It has more the feel of a nice bike than a piece of medical equipment, so it isn't depressing to have it around. The welds are good and the paint finishes are smooth. I got the most basic back but so far it provides decent support and is comfortable.

I would say the main weakness is not so much in the product itself and more the lack of access to a brick-and-mortar setting where different chairs can be experienced in real life, before making a selection. A chair of this quality is a big financial investment and it is nearly impossible to make all the decisions for finishes and set-up sight unseen. The man who helped me place my order on the phone was patient and helpful, but he could not know (because I didn't either) that I would end up wishing the footplate was set higher or that I'd chosen better quality brakes and clothing guards. It would be so helpful to be able to see, touch and try out these very personal products before placing an order.

Max Williamson is double amputee and user of wheelchair . Problems left wheel has 3 spokes ready to fall off. Arm rests are horrible kill your arms.

My chair was delivered about a week sooner than I actually expected (likely a non-typical situation) and assembled quite easily out of the box. Appearance is beautiful and it rolls so smoothly it's almost a glide. Nearly every aspect of the chair is adjustable with a few turns of a hex key and it's crafted just down the road from me in Washington state.

Being an entry level chair, this is still a pretty heavy "ultra lightweight". The order process is rife with so many dependencies that the service rep who completed my order over the phone (a process rightly required for all custom chairs) was genuinely surprised I had no conflicts in my build. The back upholstery may be my biggest gripe as the options available at my time of order left much to be desired. As it is with a 13.5' backrest height the air breathable backrest stretches from the front of the bottom velcro, up over the tension straps, and back down under the chair far enough that the pouch is horizontal and the end of the material reaches beyond the beginning. Oh, and though it isn't clear anywhere here or in TiLite's materials, get the 4' backrest rigidizer. The standard is curved and about 2' at it's deepest, I believe. The 4' will allow for future or current upgrades like a hard back or a set of that luggage that clips onto the bar.

Very well built and solid feel. Happy with the chair.

Excessive time from order to delivery. Have not found weakness yet.
