Description

The Drive AeroFly ultra-lite wheelchair is a folding manual wheelchair with a 13.3 lb magnesium alloy frame, built for users and caregivers who want a chair that is easy to lift, load and travel with. Motion Care Mobility is an authorized Drive Medical dealer in Concord, Ontario, and ships the AeroFly across Canada.

With the rear wheels attached, the chair weighs just 19 lb. That makes it one of the lightest full-featured manual wheelchairs on the market. It comes in matte black or gray, in 18″ and 20″ seat widths.

What is the AeroFly?

The AeroFly is an ultra-lightweight folding wheelchair made by Drive Medical for everyday use, errands and travel. It uses a magnesium alloy frame instead of steel or standard aluminum. That is how it stays so light without giving up the features most people expect.

It suits adults who need a dependable manual wheelchair that is simple to store. It also suits caregivers who lift a chair in and out of a car several times a week.

What are the AeroFly’s key specifications?

The AeroFly’s key specifications are a 13.3 lb frame, a 19 lb total weight with rear wheels, and a fold-down backrest. Here is the full list at a glance.

  • Frame: folding magnesium alloy
  • Frame weight: 13.3 lb without rear wheels and footrests
  • Total weight: 19 lb with rear wheels (footrests not included)
  • Seat widths: 18″ and 20″
  • Colours: matte black and gray
  • Arms: fixed, desk-length, with molded armrest pads
  • Brakes: attendant brakes and wheel locks
  • Wheels: lightweight spoke wheels, treaded flat-free tires, quick-release axles
  • Footrests: European-style swing-away with ergonomic release levers
  • Comfort: removable padded seat and back overlays
  • Safety: rear anti-tippers included

How much does the AeroFly ultra-lite wheelchair weigh?

The AeroFly ultra-lite wheelchair weighs 13.3 lb for the frame alone and 19 lb with the rear wheels installed. Footrests are not included in those numbers.

Removing the quick-release rear wheels leaves a very light frame. It folds flat and slides into most car trunks or the back seat. Many standard wheelchairs weigh well over 30 lb, so the difference is easy to feel on the first lift.

What features come standard on the AeroFly?

The AeroFly comes standard with attendant brakes, wheel locks, quick-release rear axles, swing-away footrests and rear anti-tippers. You do not need to buy these as add-ons.

The fold-down backrest shrinks the chair for storage and travel. Seat-integrated carry handles give you a secure place to grip when lifting. Removable padded seat and back overlays add comfort and are easy to clean.

The flat-free tires have a treaded surface and never need air. That means no pumps, no punctures and fewer repair visits. The spoke wheels keep the chair light while still rolling smoothly.

Who is the AeroFly ultra-lite wheelchair best for?

The AeroFly ultra-lite wheelchair is best for people who want a lightweight manual chair for daily errands, appointments and travel. It also works well for caregivers who push the chair and load it into a vehicle often.

Typical users include:

  • Seniors who need a wheelchair for outings and medical visits
  • People recovering from surgery or injury who need short-term support
  • Families who travel and want a chair that packs down small
  • Independent users who transfer into the driver’s seat themselves and want a chair they can fold, lift and load into the car on their own
  • Caregivers with a bad back or limited lifting strength

The fixed, desk-length arms keep the chair slim and easy to pull up to a table. Because the arms do not swing away, people who transfer sideways should try the chair first. Our team can help you check that.

Can a caregiver push and brake the AeroFly?

Yes, a caregiver can push and brake the AeroFly. It includes attendant brakes at the push handles for caregiver control. It also includes wheel locks so the user can park the chair independently.

This makes the AeroFly a flexible choice. One person can use it for both assisted and independent mobility, depending on the day.

Is the AeroFly easy to fold, load and travel with?

The AeroFly is easy to fold, load and travel with because of its light frame, fold-down backrest and quick-release wheels. Pop off the wheels, fold the chair and lift it by the seat handles.

If you plan to fly, call your airline 24 to 48 hours before departure. Rules about wheelchairs differ by airline, so always confirm the details first. A lighter chair is simply easier to hand over at the gate and to pick up again on arrival.

Which AeroFly seat size and colour should I choose?

The AeroFly comes in two seat widths, 18″ and 20″, and two colours, matte black and gray. Choose the seat width based on the user’s hip measurement and how they sit.

An 18″ seat gives a slimmer profile for narrow doorways and tighter spaces. A 20″ seat gives more room and comfort for broader frames. Not sure which fits? Visit our Concord showroom and we will measure and fit you in person.

How does the AeroFly compare with other wheelchairs?

The AeroFly is an ultra-light manual wheelchair, which means it is lighter than most standard folding chairs in our manual wheelchair range. Choose it when low weight and easy lifting matter most.

If you want help from a motor instead, a power chair may suit you better. Our lightweight power wheelchairs include the Travel Buggy AeroLux 2C, a folding carbon fibre chair that is also built for travel.
