Wow, this thing looks amazing! The whole chair weighs only 7.5 kg's (16.5 lbs) and the heaviest individual part being only 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs). It has built-in LED lights and disc brakes. I'd love to have this one day!

Worlds lightest wheelchair carbon fibre

I like being able to adjust little things like the height of my footrest. When I wear heels, I have to lower my footrest a bit. Sent from my XT910 using proboards

True but luckily for me, I don't have to worry about wearing heals!

Yeah I was wondering about that! Do you know how much they go for Butiki? I don't think I saw the price listed on the site.

My Explorer only cost $3000! The TiLite TRA I want costs $4335! I decided that I'm not going to go cheap with aluminum on any part of that chair when I get it. I have had a horrible experience with an aluminum chair and parts.

Good idea Knight, you shoulders sure won't regret spending the extra money to get titanium!
