So Lite C2 Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair by Journey Health
Product Code: So Lite C2
The Journey So Lite C2 Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair is a folding self-propel wheelchair built on a magnesium frame that weighs just 14 lbs, or about 24 lbs as a complete chair. It arrives ready to use with no assembly. The rear wheels, legrests, and anti-tip supports all come off without tools, so the chair breaks down into light pieces for the car. Flip-back armrests make side transfers and pulling up to a table easier, and curb climbers help the chair over small curbs and thresholds. 20" flat-free rear wheels, 6" front casters, removable cushions that are easy to clean, and both wheel locks and hand brakes round it out. It's rated for riders up to 250 lbs and comes in black with red or blue trim. 250 lb capacity · 14 lb frame · about 24 lbs complete · magnesium frame · 17.7" × 17" seat · 18.9" seat height · 16" back · flip-back armrests · swing-away removable legrests · tool-free removable rear wheels, legrests, and anti-tip supports · curb climbers · 20" flat-free rear wheels · 6" front casters · wheel locks and hand brakes · removable cushions · folds to 13" W × 29.5" H · 33" turning radius · black with red or blue trim.

Wheelchair Measuring Guide
Wheelchair Measurements:
- Hip Width:
Use this to figure seat width if it is the widest point. - Widest Point:
Measure the widest area across the lower extremities if different from the hip width. This may influence seat width or arm style. - Chest Width:
Measure the widest point of the thorax just below the armpit. This measurement may influence system width or back width. - Heel to Knee:
Use this for legrest extensions and seat height. - SRP to Knee (Seat Reference Point to Knee):
This will determine the seat depth. - Elbow to SRP (Elbow to Seat Reference Point):
Measure this width with the arm in a 90-degree angle at the elbow and the shoulder in a neutral position. - Shoulder Height:
This will determine the height and the style of the back panel or the start for a custom back. - Head Height:
This will help determine the proper headrest height.
