Review: Good deal, would buy again. - What a great deal. On sale for $103 this has been a huge value. My wife had some emergency operations and we needed a wheel chair fast. They are hard to find used and rentals are around $150 a month in my area. This one is a budget build, but a quality budget build. Easy to fold, fits in the back of my Honda CRV 08. The footrests are slightly uneven which messes with her OCD but they're easy to adjust and keep her feet up. We swapped the front wheels for some thicker rubber ones so we could wheel on gravel and dirt since we live rural. The forks on it will accommodate a 2 inch wide replacement wheel, so no need to buy replacement front forks. Some folks might think it's heavy, but it's mostly metal and polymer so I don't feel it's super heavy in weight. I have no problem taking off the foot rest and loading it or lifting it, but if you aren't used to lifting awkward items it could be challenging. It was super easy to use out of the box so it gets 5 stars. At a time when I couldn't leave my wife alone and needed a wheelchair, $103 for new and delivered to my door was impossible to beat.
Review: Great wheelchair for the price! - This has been a life saver after my ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery! So glad I opted to get this. Easy to assembly, scoots around the house smoothly, supports my leg while I’m sitting, relatively comfortable, definitely worth the price!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: There's no way this chair weighs 7.6 lbs.  Does anyone know the actual weight of the chair?**
A: For those of you clearly unaware. This is classified as lightweight because it weighs under 50 lbs. When it comes to shipping & transporting 50lbs is the cutoff between a 2man vs 1 man lift.

**Q: Chair will no longer fold. Has anyone had this problem and how did you remedy it?**
A: I have experienced the problem,  For me, it was because the chair was folded so tight the two axle bolts interlockied when the wheel bolts overlapped in the folded position; the threads on the bolts interlocked and made it nearly impossible to pull apart.  You have to push the wheels apart to separate the bolts.  Heavy tape or rubber/synthetic bolt covers prevent this from happening.

**Q: I am a big girl. 250lbs. must use wheelchair for shopping, site seeing ie: zoo, parks, etc. will this chair hold me comfortably or break**
A: I’m 265-270 pounds and it seems to be holding me. Just purchased yesterday.

**Q: Why can’t this item be shipped to Hawaii?**
A: I send my brother things to the big island and it just has to go to the nearest post office/ mail service location closest to you that Amazon will allow,  try adding the different addresses (talk to the post office and make sure they do pick ups, I have a lot of addresses in my Amazon because of this kinda thing). My brother's wife has to drive to pick up a lot of different things though some items agree to send to their address,  it never delivers to them it just stops at whatever is closest when I do it that way then they sometimes drive further. Hawaii deliveries can be weird like that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Assemble, Solid, Made a Difference
*by S***I on March 23, 2026*

I bought this for recovery from foot surgery. I was non-weight bearing for 16 weeks and used this chair solidly for about 2.5 months. This made difference in my recovery because I was unable to use a knee scooter. My house is older but the only door I could not go through was the bathroom so I recommend measuring every doorway before purchasing. Otherwise, it worked very well. I do have many areas where the paint needs touched up however but it is what it is. I did add a pillow to the seat after a week, it's not padded so I wanted something more squishy. I recommend a thick piece of memory foam. It was easy to fold and an adult can put it in the car. This was a game changer for my first 2 follow up visits. I didn't have to wait for someone to get me a wheelchair from the facility or worry they may all be taken. It would also allow people to go out shopping if they needed to. I wouldn't recommend for a long term use but for a period of time no longer than a year, I think it would serve the purpose well. Without being able to move around my home, my mental health would've suffered and I'm grateful for an affordable wheelchair, easy to assemble and operate to help me through a very frustrating and difficult time.
