Built for real life
What stands out
●
Wheels and footrests off without tools
The 20" rear wheels release with a button in the hub and the footrests come off on a pull pin. The backrest folds down, the armrests lift back and the chair folds to 13" wide.
●
17.7" padded seat
The seat is 17.7" wide by 17" deep and 18.9" off the floor at the front edge, with 19.6" between the armrests. The seat and back cushions attach with Velcro and come off for cleaning.
●
Flat-free tires and two sets of brakes
Flat-free tires never need air. The rider has a brake on each rear wheel, and the push handles carry hand brakes that a caregiver can squeeze to slow down or lock to park.
The Hieline Take
The So Lite C2 is for someone who needs a real self-propelling wheelchair and also needs to get it into a car without help. The 20" rear wheels are what let the rider push themselves, and they come off with a button. The whole chair weighs 26.5 lbs. and folds to 13" wide. Flat-free tires, curb climbers, anti-tip wheels and hand brakes on the push handles cover the everyday trips, from a doctor's visit to a walk in the park. The limits are worth knowing before you order. It carries 240 lbs., the seat comes in one size at 17.7" wide, and Journey writes it for dry, level ground, so it is not the chair for grass, gravel or steep ramps. If those fit, it is a light chair with everything a daily user needs already on it.

The owner's manual is the full warranty
The owner's manual for this product has its own warranty section, and that section is the complete statement of what Journey Health & Lifestyle covers, for how long, and what falls outside the coverage. Read it before you file a claim. If anything on this page differs from the manual, go by the manual.
This wheelchair may be returned within 30 days of delivery if it is unused and in the original packaging. Contact us before starting a return. See our return policy for complete details.
This wheelchair has a 20% restocking fee.
Return shipping to us is yours to arrange, and the shipping we paid to deliver it to you is deducted from your refund along with that fee.
If something goes wrong
Call us first at 1-855-HIELINE. We file the claim with Journey Health & Lifestyle for you and get the covered part sorted out rather than handing you a phone number.
Can I push myself in this chair?
Yes. The 20" rear wheels carry handrims, so it is a self-propelling chair rather than a transport chair. It also has push handles with hand brakes for a caregiver.
What does it weigh and how small does it fold?
The chair weighs 26.5 lbs. It folds to 13" wide and 29.5" high, and the rear wheels and footrests come off without tools when you need it smaller for a trunk.
How wide is the seat?
17.7" wide and 17" deep, with 19.6" between the armrests. The seat is 18.9" off the floor at the front edge. It comes in that one size, so measure the seat you use now before you order.
How much weight will it hold?
240 lbs.
What is the difference between the colors?
Only the trim. Both have a black frame, with red or blue on the armrests, backrest, seat and front wheel hubs. They cost the same.
What comes in the box?
The wheelchair, a seat cushion, a back cushion, a pair of footrests, a pair of anti-tip wheels and the owner's manual.
Can it go up a curb?
With a caregiver, yes. The curb climbers let them step down on the bar and tilt the chair back onto the step. On your own, the manual says to take small steps only, up to 1.5" high.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. We offer CareCredit financing with plans from 6 to 60 months. Use the payment estimate near the price to see monthly options and prequalify with a soft credit check that does not affect your score.
