G-Lite Wheelchair, the fresh air chair

With the Summer Bank Holiday only a couple of weeks away, it is a good time to consider a trip to the seaside or to get some fresh country air.
You could possibly give the elderly or infirm the same fresh air experience this holiday weekend using the new G-Lite lightweight wheelchair.
The G-Lite and G-Lite+ are new 'ultra' lightweight aluminium wheelchairs and weigh less than 9 kilos !

The G-Lite is the ideal answer for those needing a casual use wheelchair for days out and trips to the shops.


Both the transit and self propel models of the G-Lite fold very simply, and will easily fit in the boot of most modern cars.
The G-Lite is also easy for the attendant to push and control, and the user has easy access to the firm action brakes.

There is a handy back pocket for storage and the upholstery is comfy and easy clean.

You can buy the G-Lite from the  G-Lite.co.uk online website.....or even why not 'hire' for a few days !

Also note the G-Lite is available in some areas under the NHS Wheelchair Voucher scheme.
