Description
The Blue Streak is the chair that shows up in discharge plans, pharmacy rentals, and first purchases. It folds, it has large rear wheels so the rider can self-propel, and it is sold in the seat widths most adults actually need. It is not an all-day ultralight. The frame is there to be dependable and familiar, not to disappear in a car.
Choose it when a caregiver and the rider will share the work, or when someone is leaving hospital and needs a real chair this month rather than a made-to-measure build. If the person will push themselves for hours, look at a Karman, a Quickie 2, or a Helio instead. We order the current Blue Streak sub-model and confirm capacity before you pay.

We confirm the current manufacturer specification for the size you need before the order is placed. A different seat width, wheel, or option changes the weight.
Ask for a width that clears the hips with room for a winter coat, and check that the overall width still gets through the bathroom door. Overall width is always more than the seat width.
A wheelchair has to match the person. Weight capacity includes the rider and anything carried on the chair. Complex rehab chairs should be sized with an occupational therapist or seating clinician. Figures on this page come from the manufacturer’s published materials and can change. The order form for your configuration is the one we follow.
Configured chairs are built after you approve the quote. Once a manufacturer has started a made-to-measure frame, that build usually cannot be cancelled. Boxed retail chairs are different, and we say so on the quote.
