Flight ultralight wheelchair

A friend of mine told me about this wheelchair last night. It's got a rigid seat base rather than a sling...and it folds.


from their website, more photos and a description:

Flight Ultralight Wheelchair is engineered to be as light and as strong as possible. The frame is constructed without the need for welding! That means no welds to break, crack, corrode, or degrade the base metal.

• Folds to 9 1/2 inches from handrim to handrim
• Weighs just 18 pounds
• Rigid seat base provides better support than conventional sling seat wheelchairs
• Precision machining creates more consistently accurate wheel alignment, resulting in an easier push and a more responsive ride
• Aerospace-based construction requires less maintenance, with a groundbreaking caster design that can endure what active users dish out
• Fully-customizable, from seat sizing to accessories to colors and more

Thought I'd pass the info along..
