This wheelchair has a lightweight aluminium folding frame and is easy to lift, store and transport. The armrests flip back and can be removed easily as standard and have comfortable polyurethane armrest pads. The backrest folds down and the leg rests and rear wheels are removable by easy quick release mechanisms; therefore the chair can be quickly and easily disassembled for easy storage in a car boot. This chair seat height can be adjusted and can be easily and economically converted from a self-propel to an attendant transit wheeled model if required.
