Very happy with the light weight feature. I had been using an approx. 40 lb. wheelchair for my 62 yr. old brother.. ..I'm 65 yrs. old and only weigh 125 lbs. It was so difficult for me to lift and remove the heavy chair into and out of the back of my vehicle. The new Fly-Lite chair is extremely easy to lift into the back seat or the trunk of my car with no issue. Life is good for me and my brother since it allows me to take him out on more adventures, doctor appts., etc. without the worry of hurting my back!
