Hopelight Lightweight Wheelchairs Transport Chair Lightweight Foldable with Telescopic Handle, Portable Folding Travel Transfer Wheel Chairs with Hand Brake for Seniors & Adults

This wheelchair is lightweight and portable. It was easy to collapse.

One of the best wheelchairs we’ve purchased in a long time. Easy to use and the fact that it folds to something smaller is HUGE!

My grandmother has frequent doctor’s appointments at a facility that is around two hours away. Thankfully, we are able to use an Ambulette to travel there, which is a huge help. However, when it comes to getting her loaded, that is another story. A few years ago, I constructed a wheelchair ramp off my house specifically for my grandmother. However, getting her down the ramp with a traditional wheelchair has proven difficult. A traditional wheelchair is far too bulky. We all have physical issues ourselves, so we were in need of something more lightweight. I ordered this Hopelite transport chair to make transporting my grandmother easier on us. I have to say, I am very impressed with how this chair has performed for us. For starters, it comes mostly assembled, which is fantastic. I have assembled many medical devices, so believe me when I say that this was a huge time saver. The only thing I had to do was reroute the brake cables and adjust the footrest. The best thing about this chair has to be just how lightweight it is. I almost couldn’t believe it when I carried in the box! The lightweight aluminum frame is sturdy and rugged, but is much lighter than traditional steel. I would certainly call that a win! My grandmother says that the chair is very comfortable. She says that she likes the high backrest, and that the padded seat is much easier for her to sit on for longer periods of time. After some adjusting, I was able to get it so that the footrest is perfectly suited to her. There are several different adjustment options, for which I am thankful as she is a knee replacement recipient. The wheelchair rolls smoothly and easily, and is very easy to control thanks to the handlebars built into the backrest. The narrow design allows it to fit easily through our small doorways. As I touched on earlier, there is also a parking brake that can be set to keep the chair from rolling inadvertently. Finally, the chair is easily foldable, which makes it super easy to both store and transport. In conclusion, we could not be more thrilled with how this transport chair has worked out for us. It is much easier for us to operate than a standard wheelchair, and my grandmother also seems to be much more comfortable in it. These are the two most important things. Not only that, but the build quality of this chair is excellent, and the price is right. I would highly recommend this transport chair from Hopelite.

This lightweight and portable wheelchair is perfect for our needs. The only con is if you lean forward without holding on it’s possible you can fall over but the footrest prevents the chair from completely tipping over. When I leaned forward I was holding on to the rest arms and I didn’t fall out of the seat or slide as the footrest stopped me from completely tipping over. My loved one has mobility only on one side so I’m not sure if that would work in their favor. It was assembled right out the box just press the latch to open it up and it’s ready to go. We needed something to fit into the bathroom because even the custom small wheelchair wouldn’t fit in order to escort to the bathroom for showers but this portable wheelchair had no problem entering the small door. The back wheels are huge and it’s not bad when it comes to comfort ability. I would like to add cushion to the armrest as these armrest are not soft. The foot rest is adjustable which is great. It also comes with a traveling handle just like a suitcase which is located under the chair. The latch to open is on the side. This specific wheelchair I received is exactly what I was hoping for. It’s definitely an all in one chair. Update: Everyone loves this transport chair even the techs at the dialysis center says they like it better than her custom wheelchair and ask where did we get it. I no longer have to take apart a wheelchair to get it in the car. This works perfectly for our needs and it’s not heavy so I’m able to fold and toss in the trunk with no issues. We love it and we get so many eyes and compliments.

Lightweight Foldable Transport Chair with Telescopic Handle (Brand: Hopelight)- I am unsure what the weight rating is, but I found it sturdy enough to transport a person under 250lbs. It weighs around 30lbs. What makes it a challenge to load is it is bulky, but that's to be expected. Everything tucks away and is not too obtrusive while loading. The folding and unfolding mechanism has proven tricky. Lots of compliments while I've been out using this with others who need help. I'm disabled and had no trouble maneuvering this about. I like that it fits under most tables. I've also been a passenger, and it sits and rides good. I like its narrow width; makes doorways not an issue. This is a nice transport should the need be there. The one I received came fully assembled.
