There is a new horizon for wheelchair bound people, gone are the days when they have limited locations they can travel and now they can explore beyond what hey have ever imagined. Now they can gain access to the home, office and even unfriendly wheelchair locations, they can navigate various terrains and perform every day tasks that 10 years ago were impossible.

Lightweight wheelchairs can weigh as little as 30 lbs and when folded down can be small. This can be great if your travelling to the doctors or shopping or even going for that next holiday as they can be nicely folded in the back of the car. Lightweight wheelchairs are designed for durability and safety and are technically more advanced than other standard wheelchairs.

In 1981, Everest and Jennings owned the North-American power wheelchair market with their 3P model. No, it wasn’t because they had a superior, innovative product – in fact, they essentially made no changes to their power wheelchair during the previous decade, where they pronounced going from a wire spoke wheel to a mag wheel as progress. Rather, the reason why Everest and Jennings owned the power wheelchair market was because there was virtually no competition.
