Journey So Lite C2 Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair
Manufacturer-backed warranty
Manufacturer-backed warranty
The Journey So Lite C2 gives you the full feel of a self-propelled manual wheelchair without surrounding you with as much frame weight. At about 24 lb complete, it keeps large rear wheels, hand rims, caregiver brakes, and a full 17.7-inch seat in a much lighter package.
You feel that difference every time the chair moves. There is less weight to push through a turn, less bulk to manage when the frame folds, and fewer heavy parts left attached when the rear wheels and footrests come off.
What makes the So Lite C2 worth a closer look is not just how little it weighs. It is how much of a true manual wheelchair it still gives you at that weight: large rear wheels, direct self-propelling control, caregiver braking, and a seat sized for real use.
24 lb total weight | 240 lb recommended capacity | 17.7" seat | 13" folded width
The So Lite C2 uses 20-inch rear wheels with hand rims, so the rider can propel and steer the chair directly instead of depending only on someone pushing from behind.
That keeps the familiar control of a self-propelled wheelchair while cutting down the weight carried in the frame. For buyers comparing an ultra-lightweight wheelchair with a heavier manual chair, that balance is the real story.
Open, the chair measures 27 inches wide. Fold the frame, and that width drops to 13 inches.
Quick-release rear wheels and removable footrests let you take even more off the frame when needed. That gives this folding lightweight wheelchair a smaller footprint without turning it into a small-wheel transport chair.
The rear hand rims keep propulsion and steering with the rider. When someone else is pushing, brake levers at the handles give the caregiver braking control from behind.
Wheel locks hold the chair in place when parked, while rear anti-tip wheels add support behind the frame. Solid tires also mean there is no air pressure to maintain and no inner tube to puncture.
Flip-up armrests move out of the way instead of staying fixed beside the seat. The footrests can swing aside or come off completely.
That opens up more room around the rider and removes extra hardware from the way when the side or front of the seat needs to be clear.
