Description
The Drive AeroMg Transit Wheelchair combines an ultra-lightweight design with everyday comfort, strength and portability.
The AeroMg Transit is designed as an attendant-propelled wheelchair, making it suitable where a family member, friend or carer will be pushing the wheelchair. Manufactured using lightweight magnesium alloy, the AeroMg has been developed for users and attendants who want a wheelchair that is easier to handle when travelling, storing or lifting into a vehicle.
The wheelchair has a total product weight of 9.15kg, while its removable components reduce the carry weight to just 5.7kg, making the AeroMg an especially attractive option when transportation weight is an important consideration.
Ultra Lightweight Magnesium Alloy Construction
One of the standout features of the AeroMg is its magnesium alloy construction.
Magnesium enables the wheelchair to achieve a particularly low transportation weight while retaining the solid support required from an everyday transit wheelchair. At just 5.7kg carry weight, the AeroMg can be considerably easier for an attendant or carer to lift and handle than many traditional wheelchairs.
Designed for Travel & Transportation
The AeroMg includes several features specifically designed to make storage and transportation easier. A half-folding backrest reduces the overall height of the wheelchair when folded, while the quick-release wheels and removable footrests allow the chair to be made more compact for transportation. This compact folding design makes the AeroMg particularly useful for days out, appointments, holidays and everyday journeys where the wheelchair needs to be regularly loaded into and removed from a vehicle.
Comfortable Padded Seating
Lightweight construction doesn't mean comfort has been forgotten. The AeroMg features padded cushioning designed to provide comfortable support during everyday journeys. The seat measures 44.5cm (17.5") wide and 39cm (15.4") deep, providing a practical seating area while maintaining the wheelchair's compact dimensions.
Strong Dual Cross-Brace
Despite its low weight, the AeroMg uses a dual cross-brace design to provide solid structural support.
This combines with the magnesium alloy frame to provide a wheelchair designed around both portability and everyday practicality.

FAQs
Why Choose the Drive AeroMg Transit Wheelchair?
For many wheelchair users and their families, the weight of the wheelchair can be almost as important as its comfort. A wheelchair that is regularly folded, lifted into a car and removed again can become difficult to manage if it is unnecessarily heavy.

Combine this with quick-release wheels, removable footrests and a half-folding backrest and you have a highly portable wheelchair designed for people who are frequently on the move.

Yes. Portability is one of the AeroMg's key advantages.
