Are the wheels removable? I want to be able to pull this chair over my body into the car. Can anyone do that? you would have to take wheels off

My husband says they come off but with difficulty, especially with one person. If it were him depending on the person's problem, he'd try to get a winch of some kind and work out some kind of system with that. Another thought is a wheel carrier which attaches to the driver's door from then window which might require a lot of strength. We're new to this wheelchair game so he's still adapting and thinking about how to make life with a wheelchair better.

Yes, they can be removed easily. I do it quite often in order to put the wheelchair in the trunk of my car.

Yes, the back is removable. You can take it out or replace it very easily. But, when it has been inserted it is very secure and would not fall out without using two hands and more than just a little effort to pull it out. I am a large person and I have no trouble with the chair.

Yes. The wheels are removable. I think the cart works well without the wheels, but it would be better to place some pads beneath the foot to protect the floor.

The wheels do not come out if the unit is picked up. The castors actually "snap" in place when pushed hard enough. I don't know if the castors can be removed.

Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling. However, for everyday use it is not substantial. My Dad is very small and no where close to the weight limit on the chair but it has broken and been replaced once and the replacement chair doesn't appear to be any more substantial than the original one. The company was very quick to send us a replacement when the first chair broke but the second one's left handle is very loose, as the first was, and I am scared that it will break in the same place as the first. We had the first for about 6 weeks when it broke. Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling.

I don't have the chair handy as it's at my grandmother's home. However, I'm pretty sure the legs are removable because I recall not being able to find them on occasion when picking her her up to take her out. We've had the chair for 5 years now, not using it on a daily basis, but it has seen a lot of use. It's held up very well. I highly recommend it and hope it fits your needs.p.s. It's not as wide or heavy as a standard wheelchair, so I think it will work for what you need. I'll reiterate again that I've been really happy with it.

Yes you can . It comes with the wheels off...in a package. The wheels add a little more than an inch to the height.

Yes, however, you need to take certain things apart to get it in a car. I do it all the time! No problem....just a little time consuming! Love this chair!

I am considering buying this chair for my daughter....and she had the same question....is the headrest removeable?

Yes they can be easily removed. We keep this wheelchair in the car for all our outside of our home activities. It's so lightweight and then sturdy. I highly recommend this wheelchair. We are taking it on our cruise for 7 days as my Dad's main wheelchair for the trip because it is so convenient. The footrests go on and off just like the footrests on the one in our home...very easy.

Yes the leg rests are easily removed. We own two, one to keep in my car at all times and one that my husband uses on a daily basis inside the home. We have owned them for almost a year and have had no problems. I appreciate the light weight for getting it in and out of the car. I highly recommend this chair.

It's been more than a year since we assembled the chair but I do not remember any issues with putting the wheels on. It seems to me that they clicked in. What do the directions indicate? Maybe you should call a woodworking company and ask them. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hello Maxim, We do apologize, this chair is not meant to be taken apart and reassembled again. Once it is assembled, the manufacturer recommends for it to stay assembled. You can detach it, however it will be alot of work to do so. They highly recommend to keep it assembled. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

I would say removable, but not easily or intended (where there is a will, there is a way!). The coupe is difficult enough to steer WITH the castor wheel. I think removing it would only make it harder, considering none of the other 4 wheels turn sideways, and can only roll forward and backwards.

I found the easiest way is to lay it down and then pull the entire leg and wheel assembly off together. The top was too heavy for me to easily lift off. I generally wheel it to my car, lay the top part in the back, and then pull the wheel/leg assembly off. I reconnect it the same way - slide the bar on and then tilt it onto the wheels and stand it up. My car has a hatchback - it would be more difficult with a conventional trunk.

Yes the footrests can be removed.We are impressed with the construction of the chair and the portability. I weigh 100 lbs and I easily get the chair in and out of car trunk to take my 180 lb spouse into his doctors' offices.
