Availability: In stock — ready to ship; choose Black or Gray
More Room, Same Ultra-Lightweight Frame
The AeroFly™ Ultra-Lite Wheelchair in a 20" seat width uses the same patent-pending magnesium alloy frame as the 18" version, giving extra seating room without sacrificing portability. The frame weighs just 13.3 lbs excluding rear wheels and footrests, and 19 lbs fully assembled with rear wheels installed (footrests sold separately).
Built for self-propulsion with large rear wheels, this chair includes both attendant hand brakes and wheel locks, supporting either independent or assisted use. Fixed desk-length arms, molded armrest pads, and removable padded seat and back cushions add everyday comfort, while rear anti-tippers ship standard for added safety.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The 20" seat is the right call for a larger frame or anyone who wants more hip room than the 18" version offers — same lightweight magnesium construction, same 13.3 lb starting weight, just wider. Note that footrests aren't included with this SKU (stated explicitly by the manufacturer), so factor that into the total cost if the chair is being ordered as a complete setup rather than to pair with existing footrests. The combination of attendant brakes and wheel locks together is worth understanding: attendant brakes let someone else control stopping while pushing, while wheel locks are what keep the chair stationary during a transfer — having both, rather than just one, covers more real-world situations than either alone.

Q: Are footrests included?
A: No — footrests are sold separately for this chair. Factor that into the total setup cost if footrests are needed alongside the frame.
Q: How is this different from the 18" seat version?
A: Same magnesium alloy frame and overall feature set as the 18" version — this is simply the wider 20" seat option for users who need more hip room. Choose based on the seat width that fits the user best; the core construction and weight are consistent across both sizes.
Q: What's the difference between the attendant brakes and wheel locks?
A: Attendant brakes let the person pushing the chair control stopping, while wheel locks keep the chair stationary during a transfer or when parked. This chair includes both, supporting both assisted and independent use.
