Wheelchairs Lightweight is an independent UK information site created to make lightweight-wheelchair choices easier to understand.
What we do
We explain the differences between self-propelled and transit wheelchairs, compare the measurements that affect transport and fit, and publish evidence-led reviews and buying guides. Our aim is to help readers form a sensible shortlist and ask better questions before buying.
What we do not do
This is not an online wheelchair shop and the site does not provide individual clinical assessments. Product suitability depends on the user, their environment and their support needs. Complex posture, pressure-care, transfer or mobility requirements should be assessed by an appropriately qualified professional.
How the site is funded
The site may be funded through clearly identified advertising and affiliate links. Commercial arrangements do not buy favourable coverage or guaranteed rankings. Read the Affiliate Disclosure and How We Test and Rank pages for the safeguards used.
