Ultra-Lite

Description

Overview

The Afikim Ultra-lite Manual Wheelchair is built for individuals who need a dependable, easy-to-handle wheelchair for daily use and transport. Its transport weight of just 16.2lbs makes lifting, loading, and maneuvering more manageable, whether at home, in the car, or on the go. The folding frame allows the chair to collapse quickly for storage or travel, while maintaining the strength and stability needed for everyday mobility. Comfortable seating and supportive leg rests help users remain secure and comfortable during short or extended periods of use, making the Ultra-lite a practical solution for both indoor and outdoor environments.

What Makes This Different:

What sets the Afikim Ultra-lite apart is its thoughtful balance of reduced weight and everyday usability. The lightweight frame helps minimize strain on caregivers while also making the chair easier for users to self-propel. A padded mesh seat overlay promotes airflow for a cooler, more comfortable ride, especially during extended use. Flip-back armrests support easier side transfers, adding convenience and safety during transitions. The chair also features a dual braking system, with both caregiver hand brakes and standard wheel locks, providing added control and confidence for users and attendants alike.

Why We Like It:

We like the Afikim Ultra-lite because it delivers exactly what many users and caregivers need most—light weight, ease of transport, and dependable comfort. It’s a great choice for travel, errands, and everyday mobility, especially for those who frequently load and unload their wheelchair. The simple folding design and manageable size make it especially appealing for caregivers and family members. We also like that this chair comes standard with a free mesh cup holder.
