Journey So Lite® C2 Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair

The Journey So Lite C2 is classified as a personal mobility device, not a medical device. It is FDA registered, but is not intended for medical purposes or to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position. Journey does not diagnose, prescribe, or process insurance claims directly.

The Journey So Lite C2 weighs just 24 lbs total — including its ultra-light magnesium frame. That's roughly half the weight of traditional steel wheelchairs (38–50 lbs), making it dramatically easier to lift into a car trunk, carry up stairs, or stow in a closet when not in use.

The Journey So Lite C2 supports a maximum user weight of 240 lbs. The ultra-light magnesium frame is engineered for both strength and portability, giving users a dependable mobility solution without the bulk of traditional steel wheelchairs.

The Journey So Lite C2 performs well on a variety of surfaces, including indoor flooring, sidewalks, pavement, and most everyday outdoor environments. The flat-free tires eliminate worry about punctures, and the curb climbers help navigate small steps or curbs. For deep grass, sand, or heavily uneven terrain, a power chair like the Journey Zoomer may be a better fit.
