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.

The Minimaxx has a maximum user weight of 51 stones - 325kilos !

The Minimaxx has a range of options, including easy action disc brakes for the attendant.
The wheelchair is incredibly easy to push due to the weight distribution over the rear axle and forward castor placement.
