Wheelchairs - Can someone recommend a lite-weight wheelchair I can >throw in the car and move about in easily by myself. > GREETINGS I called a friend of mine who was in an ultra light accident and is now a paraplegic. He has a Quickie II wheel chair that has slanted wheels that come off with the push of a button, then folds up. It's kind of bulky but able to be handled by one person. It's made of aircraft aluminum. There is a new model out called the Quickie Revolution that folds up to the size of a briefcase after the wheels are removed and weighs about 25-26 lbs. They gave me the name of the distributor-- Wheelchair Warehouse 1-800-829-0202. Another No. they gave me for a more traditional style of chair is from Everest & Jennings 1-800-235-4661. Hope this gives you a place to start. Jon Meyer 39/1 ([log in to unmask]) another Hoosier They were given a price of $1300 - $1400.
