Built for real life

What stands out

●
Quick-release rear wheels
Press the button in the centre of the hub and pull the wheel off the axle. No tools, and it goes back on the same way.
●
15.4 lbs. stripped for the car
Wheels off and footrests off, the frame is 15.4 lbs. That is the difference between one person managing the lift and needing two.
●
20" rear wheels with hand rims
You push yourself on the rims, or somebody pushes you from the handles.
●
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.
●
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.
The Hieline Take

The Q5019 exists for one reason, and it is worth being blunt about it. This is the Traveller 5019 with quick-release rear wheels, and every other number on the two chairs is identical. So the question is not whether it is a good chair, it is whether you load a wheelchair into a car. If you do, the answer is yes, because a 23 lbs. chair with 20" wheels on it is an awkward object to lift over a trunk lip, and the same chair with the wheels pulled is a 15.4 lbs. frame that one person handles easily. If the chair lives in the house and goes out on a ramp, you are paying about forty dollars for a feature you will use twice a year, and the 5019 is the better buy. Beyond that this is a sensible self-propelling chair: hand rims so the person in it keeps control, brake levers on the push handles for whoever is pushing down a slope, and anti-tip wheels, which matter more on a self-propelled chair than people expect. One seat size only, 18" by 16".

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • load the chair into a car regularly and want the wheels off in seconds
  • want to push yourself rather than be pushed
  • want an attendant to have brakes for ramps and slopes
  • weigh up to 300 lbs.

Look elsewhere if you

  • keep the chair in the house, because the Traveller 5019 is the same chair for less
  • only ever get pushed, in which case a transport chair costs far less
  • need a seat other than 18" wide, because this chair comes in one size
  • weigh more than 300 lbs.
