The AeroFly Ultra-Lite is a folding manual wheelchair with a die-cast magnesium alloy frame. The frame has a smooth, weld-free profile. It is a self-propelling chair that can be lifted into a car, carried over a step or stored in a cupboard.
The rear wheels come off with a quick-release button, no tools needed, and the backrest folds flat. Carry handles are built into the seat to give a lifting point once the wheels are removed. The chair arrives folded with the rear wheels detached, and the user opens the frame, fits the wheels and anchors the anti-tippers.
It has attendant brakes on the push handles and wheel locks on both rear wheels. The solid rubber treaded tires never need inflation. Padded seat and back overlay cushions, swing-away footrests with heel loops, and wheeled rear anti-tippers come as standard.
