The Hidden Costs of Cheap Lightweight Foldable Power Wheelchairs

Over the past 13 years, we at EZ Lite Cruiser have proudly served customers who rely on mobility solutions that are safe, reliable, and built to last. In that time, we’ve seen the market flood with low-cost foldable power wheelchairs—products that might look appealing at first glance, but often leave buyers frustrated, disappointed, and in some cases, even at risk.

The truth is, these cheaper alternatives cut corners in critical ways. Lower cost usually means lower quality materials, weaker construction, and unreliable performance. That may not just impact comfort and convenience—it can compromise safety. When it comes to medical equipment you depend on every day, skimping on quality isn’t just a bad investment; it can pose real harm. Repairs, replacements, and unexpected breakdowns quickly erase any “savings” a bargain chair might have offered.

At EZ Lite Cruiser, we design our wheelchairs with durability, comfort, and long-term value in mind. Our products may cost more up front, but they’re built to perform and support you where it matters most. And with flexible financing options—6 months with no interest or up to 24 months with interest—you don’t have to sacrifice safety and quality for affordability. Invest in peace of mind, and choose a power chair that’s built to go the distance with you.
