Klano KL40 - World Lightest (only 30lbs) Foldable Electric Wheelchair - Travel Size with Detachable Battery - Airline Approved - User Friendly - 10 mi Cruise Range (Model9)

What a fabulous find! This is a wonderful little power chair! I am 68 years old, I am a double below the knee amputee and I have carpal tunnel with arthritis so strolling in a manual wheelchair was becoming very painful. Now I can zip around in my little apartment with ease. I can do a 360 turn in front of my bathroom sink! I am very happy with this purchase! I would highly recommend purchasing this wheelchair!

After getting a partial answer to a request for clarification, since the Amazon ad has conflicting info, I tried 3 times more and was ignored. I took a chance anyway and no regrets so far; I’ve used it once to an outdoor event with blacktop, grass and dirt/gravel paths. The instruction manual, although not perfectly translated nor perfectly accurate, is comprehensible enough. The chair, with the seat and back pad that comes with it, weigh 30.5 pounds and the battery weighs an extra 2.8 pounds. The front wheels are 8” solid rubber and the rear wheels are 12 inch and are a soft compound rubber; not sure if it’s pneumatic, as I can’t see a place to add air, but there is a hole on the inside of the wheel which may have a valve inset into it, apparently in accessible using western methods. (The instructions call for 50 pounds per square inch tire pressure) The charger is a multi voltage unit that will work on anything from 100 to 240 V AC. The motors are fairly strong as I mistakenly drove it about 100 yards with both brakes on. It will go over a 1 inch obstacle relatively easily but it takes a running start to go over a 1.5 inch obstacle. The armrests do not fold up, which I think is better since it is easy to access with the foot rest up and it could be a tripping obstacle with the footrest down, trying to get in from the side if the armrest did fold. It seemed to free wheel once but I haven’t been able to do duplicate that even after removing the battery, which is easy to do, but the drag from the motors is minimal. The battery used about 20% of capacity after about three hours of use on a level to 10% incline, mixed surface, with a 150 pound operator and it charged to full capacity after about one hour, starting at 80%. My biggest complaints are the lack of accurate information in the ad and lack of response from the seller.

Lightweight it is, easy to fold it is, easy for a small woman to put in trunk of it is. Right out of the box it works great. I don’t think is airline approved, an interesting fact to discover, depending on the airline, when you get ready to board. I intended to use it this way as my ninetieth birthday is long past and I can’t take a step. But when you fold it, at least mine, the battery falls off. I fixed this problem with tie wraps. The screws are not fastened with Loctite, and they will fall out, leaving you a bit surprised when the strut supporting the right arm rest and control joystick suddenly falls away. The effort required to push it is only reduced slightly by turning it off. The instruction manual that came with my chair told me very little that wasn’t intuitive. Particularly interesting was the fact that neither the manufacturer was ever named in said book. Additionally, the manual did not supply a phone, or email address, or web site. The web site and phone number did appear on the outside of the shipping container. Buy the way, my shipping arrived heavily damaged, including tearing off some off the afore mentioned information, though I could make out the phone number. Maybe you keep meticulous records, including info on shipping containers, I didn’t at this time, but will check everything in the future. Someone reported a hard seat, a problem solved by a gel cushion for wheelchairs available everywhere. I used mine from my wheelchair, until I bought another one. With time, less than six months with mine, the motors get weaker, a lot weaker. And the joystick and the controller get into an argument as to which motor to control, so the chair only wants to go in circles. Various methods were tried to get it to go where I wanted to, and for about a month those worked. But all good things must come to an end, and now it only turns in a circle to the right. If there is a warranty with the chair, the importer/supplier is in California, and I am in Georgia. Nobody else will touch it. So, I in essence rented it for five months at nearly two hundred dollars a month. I don’t recommend it unless you live next door to the distributor.

When I ordered this chair, I had been putting off the necessity of needing one for years. However, I had to attend a conference where I needed the increased mobility, as well as, a compact size. This chair fit the bill. It was comfortable, easy to use, and very maneuverable. The big problem is due to its light weight it has "wheelie bars" on the back and it needs them. It is prone to tip backward if the slope is too acute or if you take off to fast. If it wasn't for this I would give it a much higher rating. Its battery life and power usage is fantastic, there has been only once in the last six months that I have ended running it down into the lower yellow zone and that was after several days of hard consistent use.

Best price for light weight, works perfectly.

I am happy with this as I needed a mobile wheelchair to put into my new car that my husband can lift as we are both disabled Veterans. He said its really light. I am not happy about there is no back support or butt support. But I can put pillows in it. So over all I am very happy with it so far. I just got it today! So we shall see! Later! 4 stars for now! We shall see

We bought this for my wife to be able to maneuver easier in narrow quarters and for travel. Unfortunately, it has a firmly attached lithium battery, making it not eligible for placing in aircraft cargo bays.
