## Description

The Drive Medical Blue Streak Lightweight Wheelchair is designed to provide dependable, comfortable mobility support for adults and seniors seeking greater independence in their daily lives. Built with a durable steel frame and smooth-rolling wheels, this folding wheelchair delivers a stable, reliable ride whether used at home, in a care facility, or on-the-go. The lightweight design makes it easy for users or caregivers to maneuver, while the compact fold—down to just 12.5 inches wide—simplifies transport in a vehicle or storage in small spaces. A standout feature of the Blue Streak is its thoughtful, comfort-driven construction.

## 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.
