Why the Expedition Transport Chair?
- Only 19 lb: the lightest practical wheelchair for travel and daily errands

- Companion-Operated Wheel Locks: at the rear for the caregiver
- Two Colors Available: Blue or Red
Is the Expedition Transport Chair Right for You?
Best for:
- Frequent travelers, the chair folds to roughly 11" wide and gate-checks like a stroller
- Caregivers who lift the chair in and out of a vehicle several times a day
- Users up to 300 lb who are always pushed by a companion
- Anyone who wants a true budget friendly ultralight without giving up sturdiness
May not be best for:
- Users who want to self-propel. Transport chair wheels are caregiver push only. See the Viper Plus GT or the AeroFly Ultra-Lite Wheelchair, both built for self-propelling.
- Users over 300 lb or who need a wider seat. The 22" Bariatric Transport Chair is rated to 450 lb.
- Caregivers chasing the absolute lightest lift. The AeroFly Transport Chair trims the frame to about 13 lb with its magnesium alloy build.
- Users who need to recline. See the Silver Sport Reclining Wheelchair.
Final Thoughts
For caregiver pushed mobility at the lowest practical weight and price, the Expedition is the chair we recommend first. It keeps the essentials, a 300 lb rating, swing away footrests, and a fold flat frame, while staying light enough that loading it never becomes the hard part of the outing.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Less to lift. If you're a caregiver loading the chair in and out of a vehicle several times a day, dropping from a 35 to 40 lb chair to 19 lb makes a real difference over weeks and months. It also fits in overhead bins on some flights and is easy to gate-check.
-
Yes. The aluminum frame is rated for 300 lb. You'll notice the chair flexes less than aluminum chairs of 10 to 15 years ago because Drive has refined the tubing and brace geometry.
-
No, like all transport chairs, the rear wheels are too small to be pushed by the seated user. It's designed for a caregiver to push. If the user needs to self-propel, look at the Viper Plus GT or Silver Sport instead.
-
Yes, the cross-brace folds the chair to roughly 11" wide, which fits in most airline cargo holds. Many travelers gate-check it like a stroller.
-
Yes, swing-away footrests with padded heel loops come standard.
