Full-size casters can snag when you try to lay a transport chair flat in a small trunk. The Drive Flyweight Transport Chair with Removable Wheels is the red aluminum attendant chair whose 8 inch composite wheels pull off without tools. A deluxe back release and flared arms let the back fold down.
This is Drive Flyweight RTLFW19RW-RD, not the archived deluxe Flyweight listing with old fw-01 SKUs, and not Fly Lite. Someone else pushes it. The red frame uses black nylon. Front and rear 8 inch wheels come off so the chair packs shorter. A pocket is on the backrest. Swing-away footrests are in the box.
Front and rear 8 inch composite wheels remove without tools. If Fly Lite still sits too tall because the casters stay on, this is the attendant chair that lets you take the wheels off before you load.
Flared arms and a deluxe back release let the back fold down. Use that with the wheels off when closet depth is the problem.
A carry pocket is on the back. The occupant is not holding a purse while you push to the car.
All-aluminum rear wheel locks are on this model. Set them before anyone stands. The occupant does not get hand rims.
Flyweight with removable wheels is for an attendant who wants a 19 inch red aluminum transport chair and will pull the casters off for a trunk. It is not Fly Lite, and it is not a self-propel wheelchair.
Choose Fly Lite when you want a lighter aluminum chair and will leave the casters on. Choose Expedition when you want 12 inch rear wheels and handle brakes.
Flyweight RTLFW19RW-RD is the red aluminum attendant chair whose casters come off. Fly Lite keeps 8 inch rears on the frame. Expedition uses 12 inch flat-free rears and companion loop locks at the handles.
