For all the wheelchair users here, what kind of wheelchair do you use? I just got Natural Fit handrims on my QRI and love them, also got Shwalbe marothon plus tires just put on. I love my chair, but next time I’m getting a Ti lite!

SjWilcox No wheelchair yet for me, however I might just get one and use it like falalalala ~ just like a rollator, and when I get tired, my husband can push it while I am in it. I am curious as to what wheelchairs members on this forum use. Good discussion :-D

My sister gave me one that her neighbor was throwing out.

It is nothing fancy but it does work well and comes in handy when I need it. I do think it could use a better seat (cushion)....one that I won't forget to bring! That is something to consider if you will be out all day in it.

I didn’t know you could break a wheelchair down like that

Really neat chair. Who is the manufacturer and/or the retailer? I recently bought a Karma brand chair for use outside of the home. I must rely on others for transportation to various places, so I figured the best thing to do was make the process as easy as possible. So, I now use a collapsable wheelchair that ways just under 20lbs. Your chair appears to be made of carbon(ite) and titanium. Sure does break down easily.

It is a Sunrise Quickie QRI. All aluminum, the cheapest type of chair you can get in this style, but was still $1700 total after the options.

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply. Will research it today. Take care.
