Our Verdict
The Icon 35 LX Self-Propelled Wheelchair is an excellent lightweight and foldable wheelchair with removable footrests. Considering its features and price point, the Icon 35 LX is a great choice for users who are looking for an affordable lightweight and foldable wheelchair with footrests.
Similarly, the Karma Ergo Lite 2 self-propelled wheelchair is a foldable wheelchair with a lower transport weight of 5.8 kg. The patented S-Ergo Seating System helps users maintain a good posture and prevents slips. Its leg rests can also be swung away which eases storage and portability. Catering to varying individuals, users can choose between 16 or 18 inches of seat width. Although the S-Ergo Seating System in the Karma Ergo Lite 2 can offer more comfort, the Icon 35 LX is more cost-effective.
Users who would like a greater level of customisation options with a lightweight and foldable wheelchair could consider the Invacare Action 2NG wheelchair. The seat width ranges from 15, 16, 17,18 and 19 inches, and the seat depth can be adjusted to be 16 or 17 inches. A 13-inch seat width is also available at an additional cost. If you are looking for seat customisation options, the Action 2NG is a better option. However, the Icon 35 LX includes brakes on the attendant handles and adjustable armrests for individuals. As the Icon 35 LX and Action 2NG are at similar price points, the ideal wheelchair depends on the features you require from a wheelchair.
Taken together, the Icon 35 LX self-propelled wheelchair is a portable and affordable wheelchair which stands out by comprising attendant brakes and adjustable armrests.
