Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair???

[randyorton]

Hi folks,
I'm on the lookout for a new ultralight rigid chair. From looking around, it seemed like the Tilite TR would be my best option ... but then I came across this new helium wheelchair by Quickie. It looks like the best quickie that i seen, with the electron options it would be lighter than a Tilite TR. Has anyone on here got one, or seen one? My nearest dealer is 100 odd miles away it seems, so dont want to make the trip if its all sizzle and no steak.

Heres the link for anyone wanting to take a look.

I'm already out of date with chairs as I got mine nearly 2 years ago. I got the Quickie Titanium and it has been very good indeed. The only thing I would suggest you look at is the springiness of these frame designs. I think if I was buying again I would look as something a bit more rigid such as http://www.rgklife.com/products/chairs/max_lite.php which almost as light and easy to deal with but is very rigid.
