A folding manual wheelchair on a carbon steel frame, in seat widths from 16" to 22". It weighs about 34 lbs. and folds to 13" wide. The 16" and 18" seats carry 250 lbs. and the 20" and 22" seats carry 300 lbs. The padded arms flip back, and the rear axle has two positions for a 19.5" or 17.5" seat height.
What stands out
The Tracer SX5 is an everyday folding wheelchair that goes up to a 22" seat, and the 20" and 22" seats carry 300 lbs. The padded arms flip back out of the way for a sideways transfer, the rear axle has two positions so the seat can sit at 19.5" or drop to 17.5", and the solid urethane rear tires never need air. At about 34 lbs. it is manageable to fold and lift, though not featherweight. The seat is 16" deep on every size, so a taller person who needs more thigh support should measure first. Pick desk-length arms to roll up to a table and elevating legrests if the legs need raising.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- need a 20" or 22" seat and weigh up to 300 lbs.
- transfer sideways and want arms that flip back
- move the chair with your feet and need the seat at 17.5"
- want tires that never go flat
Look elsewhere if you
- weigh more than 300 lbs., or more than 250 lbs. on a 16" or 18" seat
- need a seat deeper than 16"
- need a chair that reclines
