• What is the difference between a self-propelled wheelchair and an attendant-propelled wheelchair?
  Attendant-propelled wheelchairs, such as our Mag Lite Wheelchair, are designed to be pushed by a carer, or an attendant. In this case, they can be a perfect mobility aid for individuals who have limited mobility or who have a long-term health condition, and who must be accompanied by an individual when travelling. Self-propelled wheelchairs (also known as user-controlled wheelchairs) are chairs that the user propels themselves. These wheelchairs have handles that allow them to be pushed, but the main purpose of these chairs is for the user to be able to manoeuvre the chair themselves without assistance. Typically, an attendant-propelled wheelchair is of a lighter weight when lifting due to the rear wheel size. However, a wheelchair with self-propulsion may be easier on the caregiver to push when traversing grass or gravel, or even when negotiating small steps due to the larger rear wheels. At The Mobility Outlet, we offer an array of high-quality self-propelled and attendant-propelled bariatric wheelchairs. See our full range today!
• What is the lightest wheelchair Mobility Outlet offers?
  The lightweight self-propelled Lite 2 is the lightest wheelchair within our wheelchair range. The wheelchair can be folded together into a compact unit complete with a carrying handle, with a lifting weight of just a feather over 8kg when removeable parts are taken off.
• Is there a limit to the weight the self-propelled wheelchair can handle?
  The maximum user weight limit for the Dash Lite SP Wheelchair is 127kg or 20 stone.
