Click to zoomChariot IV Wheelchair
The Chariot IV is an ultra-lightweight aluminium and carbon steel wheelchair from 34 lbs. Quick-release axles set the seat at 20", 19" or 18", the back and armrests adjust, and it holds 300 lbs. Seats are 16", 18" and 20" wide.
An ultra-lightweight wheelchair on an aluminium and carbon steel frame, with three quick-release axle positions, an adjustable-height back, flip-back arms that set from 10" to 14", and a 2" seat extension included. Holds 300 lbs.
What stands out
The Chariot IV earns its price on adjustment. The rear wheels pull out by hand into three axle positions, which sets the seat at 20", 19" or 18" and changes the seat angle with it, so a rider who pushes themselves can get that angle right rather than living with one setting. The armrests run 10" to 14", the back adjusts for height, the casters adjust for height and angle, and the frame takes a custom seat back, so the chair can be re-fitted as needs change instead of replaced. It weighs 34 lbs. before the rear wheels come off, which makes it a realistic one-person car lift. The trade is 300 lbs. of capacity at every width and a price above the steel chairs, so if the rider is only ever being pushed from A to B the Chariot II or III does that job for less.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- weigh up to 300 lbs. and need a 16", 18" or 20" seat
- push the chair yourself and want the seat height and angle set to you
- load the chair into a car and want the rear wheels to come off by hand
- need the armrest height and the back height adjusted to fit
Look elsewhere if you
- weigh more than 300 lbs., at any seat width
- need a seat wider than 20"
- need a chair that reclines or tilts
- want the cheapest chair that will do, because the Chariot II and Chariot III cost less
