Lynx Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair
The Lynx Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair by Drive Medical is designed for users and caregivers who want a lightweight, adjustable and practical manual wheelchair for everyday mobility. Its aluminum frame helps reduce overall chair weight while maintaining the durability needed for regular use at home, medical appointments, rehabilitation, shopping and community outings.
This 18-inch model features swing-away footrests, adjustable seating, flip-back desk-length arms, quick-release axles and rear anti-tippers. The combination of lightweight construction and adjustable components makes the Lynx a versatile choice for users with changing mobility and positioning needs.
Lynx Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair Features
The Lynx uses an ultra-lightweight aluminum frame, helping make the wheelchair easier to handle and transport than many traditional steel-frame wheelchairs. This 18-inch configuration weighs approximately 28.5 lb and supports users up to 275 lb.
The wheelchair includes padded, height-adjustable desk arms that can flip back and be removed when required. These adjustable armrests can improve access during transfers and allow the wheelchair to move closer to tables, desks and other surfaces.
Adjustable Seating
The seat measures approximately 18 inches wide, while the seat depth can be adjusted from approximately 16 to 18 inches. This allows the wheelchair to accommodate different seating preferences and user requirements.
Seat-to-floor height can also be adjusted between approximately 17.5 and 19.5 inches, giving caregivers and users additional flexibility when setting up the wheelchair.
The back height is approximately 16.5 inches, and the seat uses nylon upholstery with foam for everyday comfort and durability.
Swing-Away Footrests
This model, K518FBADDA-SF, includes swing-away footrests. The footrests can move away from the front of the wheelchair to provide additional space when the user is transferring into or out of the chair.
Swing-away footrests can also make storage and transportation easier when the wheelchair is folded or being loaded into a vehicle.
Quick-Release Axles and Dual Axle Positions
The Lynx features quick-release rear-wheel axles, allowing the rear wheels to be removed more conveniently when required for storage, servicing or transportation.
Dual axle positions provide additional setup flexibility. Precision-sealed wheel bearings are used in both the front and rear to support dependable long-term wheelchair performance.
Safety and Stability Features
Rear anti-tippers are included as standard equipment to provide additional stability. The wheelchair also uses push-to-lock wheel locks to secure the rear wheels while stationary.
Treaded tires provide a practical rolling surface for everyday indoor and outdoor mobility.
Always engage the wheel locks before transfers and confirm that footrests, armrests and other adjustable components are properly secured before use.
Folding and Transportation
The wheelchair has approximate overall dimensions of 43.9 inches long with riggings × 25.8 inches wide × 35.5 inches high.
When folded, the width reduces to approximately 12.2 inches, helping make the wheelchair easier to store or transport when space is limited.
Its lightweight aluminum construction and folding design make the Lynx particularly useful for caregivers who frequently transport a wheelchair between home, appointments and other destinations.
