Once aware of the types of lightest wheelchairs on the market, it is time to get acquainted with features that are available for those models.

The best lightweight wheelchairs have many model varieties available. The majority of lightweight wheelchairs will range in product weight of 25 to 35 lbs while the standard wheelchair weighs around 35 to 45 lbs. The best lightweight wheelchairs often feature lighter frames made from tig-welds, however, bariatric lightweight models feature frames that are made of durable, heavy-duty materials and cross bars to assist in supporting their max weight capacity.
Folding Lightweight Wheelchairs
The best lightweight folding wheelchairs often have features such as removable rigging and a removable rear axle to make them lighter to enable transport, travel, and storage.

Often times, the lightest folding wheelchair is going to be one that has no rigging attached to it (e.g., no arm rest, leg rest, or feet rest). For the best choice, one might opt for lighter, more breathable seating material, Mag spokes, lighter frame construct, and minimal rigging attached.
