What is the Rebel wheelchair for?
The Rebel is a versatile everyday manual wheelchair the user can self-propel (via the large rear wheels and hand rims) or have a caregiver push. It's built for people who are always on the go: the quick-release rear wheels come off in seconds, the back folds down and the frame folds to under a foot wide, and the front casters remove tool-free — so it fits in almost any trunk. Flip-back desk-style armrests make transferring easy and let you pull up close to a table, while its lightweight, maneuverable frame turns easily in tight spaces.

Frequently asked questions
Can the user push themselves, or does someone push them? Both — the large rear wheels with hand rims let the user self-propel, and the push handles let a caregiver assist.
How light is it? About 37 lbs — light for a steel-frame wheelchair, and even lighter to lift once the quick-release rear wheels are removed.
Will it fit in my car? Yes — the back folds down, the frame folds to about 10.5" wide, and the wheels and footrests remove for easy trunk storage.
What are desk arms? Shorter-front armrests that let the chair pull up close under tables and desks, and that flip back for easier side transfers.
How much weight does it support? Up to 300 lbs.
Can I get it delivered in Brooklyn or shipped nationwide? Yes — Task Supply Corp offers USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S., plus local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and all five boroughs of New York City.
Use as a mobility aid as directed. Engage both wheel locks before transfers, ensure footrests and wheels are secured, and stay within the 300 lb capacity.
