I have a Manual Invacare EX2. Not ultra light, but folds and DH or DD can put in trunk. I use when out, DH pushes as left arm does not work to self-propel. He takes me up curbs and 2-3 steps - backwards, using big wheel . With Manual DH takes me up a few steps into people's houses. I weigh under 110, he is strong but I prefer my electric travel (breaks down into pieces) Go-chair (Pride) as it keeps me in control

At home I have a heavy, smooth riding electric Invacare TDX SP - it tilts, etc. But now I know I wish it elevated) Very quiet, DH calls it my stealth chair. I recommend a well-made chair, you never know where you might end up with MS None of mine has needed alighnment ever in years.

I love my big heavy electric TDX used only at home. Luckily my house big, but I still hit door jambs and things. Had elevated swing away foot rests, hated them. Made them put on single, flip up, as close to chair as possible footrest. Chair very heavy, nobody could lift it, home use only.
