Built for real life

What stands out

●
20" rear wheels with hand rims
You push yourself on the rims, or somebody pushes you from the handles. That is the line between this and a transport chair.
●
Hand brakes on the push handles
Whoever is pushing squeezes a lever to slow the chair, which is what you want on a ramp or a sloped driveway.
●
23 lbs., and the back folds down
Light for a self-propelling chair. The back folds and the seat folds up the middle, so it goes in a trunk.
●
Footrests that swing away and adjust
They swing clear for a transfer and lift off entirely, and the height sets to suit the length of the leg.
●
Anti-tip wheels
Small wheels behind the rear axle stop the chair going over backwards when you push hard or come up a curb.
The Hieline Take

The Traveller 5019 is the cheapest way into a chair you can actually push yourself, and at 23 lbs. it is the lightest self-propelling chair we carry from this maker. The 20" rear wheels with hand rims are the whole reason to choose it over a transport chair, because the person sitting in it keeps control of where they go. It is worth understanding the two chairs either side of it. The Q5019 is this exact chair with quick-release rear wheels, which is worth the extra money only if the chair goes in and out of a car regularly, since pulling the wheels is what makes it liftable by one person. The Axera 5017 is a bigger chair, 22" wheels and adjustable armrests, and 5 lbs. heavier. What to watch here is width and fit. It is 27" across the rear wheels, which is wider than any transport chair, so measure the bathroom door. And the seat is one size, 18" by 16", so if that is not your size this is not your chair.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • want to push yourself rather than be pushed
  • want the lightest self-propelling chair in this range, at 23 lbs.
  • want an attendant to have brakes for ramps and slopes
  • weigh up to 300 lbs.

Look elsewhere if you

  • only ever get pushed, in which case a transport chair costs far less
  • lift the chair into a trunk often, because the Traveller Q5019 has wheels that come off in seconds
  • need a seat other than 18" wide, because this chair comes in one size
  • weigh more than 300 lbs.
