Help
It's time for a new wheelchair. I've been through several, Tilite, quickie 2, others. This time I want to do it right, and I have no idea what I'm doing. I've been using the quickie, it folds and goes into my F-150 via a cab sider lift. I want to get the best chair I can and I'm not seing that many folding chairs, I really don't know if I want to start picking up a wheelchair, my Tilite will not fold and it is a nightmare trying to get it in the truck. So I think I'll stay with a folder...
Can anyone recommend a high quality, stylish folding wheelchair?

I've used a quickie 2 while in the hospital until I got my first demo chair. It was so heavy I couldn't even push it on my own! I then got a Quickie GT and it kept having major problems. I'm using a Top End Crossfire Titanium now and it's seriously the best chair I have ever used!
I have never used a TiLite before, but I did hear a lot of good things about them. Maybe you should look into one. They have some folding versions and they are pretty light.

tilite just came out with the aero x it is an aluminum lightweight folding wheelchair. Take a look at that one also kimobility makes a catalyst 5 that is folding and lightweight. If you dont like the almost indestructable quickie 2 there are about 30 others available kuschall has a couple but are more expensive because they are from switzerland. invacare has the mvp.
