Can anyone recommend a lightweight self propelled wheelchair?
Hi @ChrissyDavies
Unfortunately, a wheelchair that is suitable for someone else most likely won’t suitable for you, as us humans come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes and have different abilities and requirements for how we need our equipment to perform.
Companies that sell wheelchairs will, of course, be more than happy to recommend one of their products to you but ideally you need an independent assessment of your wheelchair needs. Your local NHS wheelchair clinic may be able to assist.

Hi, I am also considering these lightweight wheelchairs that appear well-priced. Are they worth it?

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
