Medicare will not pay for any chair because I can walk with forearm crutches ( even if Im falling down ), because they say getting around the home is important, being outside it is not. My chair is a peice of crap and hard to propel. Thanks for any help.
You want a high-end semi-sports chair cheap? You can get lightweight chairs like the Invacare Tracer SX5 for about $200 new, and they only weight about 8 pounds more than the A-4.
The thing about sports chairs is that the chamfered tires make it harder to get around in a house, and they are hard to modify or fit to your needs. The seating is also not really comfortable for long-term use for most people, the tiny front casters hang up on cracks in the sidewalk and sink in soft soil, etc.
I know these are popular right now, but I also know a lot of users who fought for them to be their main chair and now regret it.
If your chair does not propel well, it is probably more the bearings than the weight- you may want to check them out. You do not 'feel' the weight difference between a lightweight and an ultra-lightweight much in daily use unless you are doing a lot of sudden accelerations or hard turns- like in sports.

K-9 Cart East Introduces the Lightest Small Dog Wheelchair - K-9 ...
Oxford, MD (PRWEB) 12 September, 2009 – K-9 Cart Company East introduces a new ultra lightweight, veterinary-designed dog wheelchair weighing 1-2 lbs. that is custom-made of high tech materials for strength. K-9 Cart Company East has been designing, building, and perfecting their dog carts for 45 years and now raises the industry standard by producing the lightest, fully adjustable custom dog wheelchair. Now, small dogs and cats can become mobile in a state-of-the-art dog cart by http://www.k-9cart.com that is >20% lighter without sacrificing durability.
"Dachshunds, pugs, and other small dogs can often develop back and other orthopedic injuries using a heavy dog wheelchair", says Dr. Lincoln Parkes, CEO of www.k-9cart.com . "Our new dog wheelchair that weighs less than 2 lbs. allows these small pets to run, play ball, and resume normal activities easily for an extended number of years after spinal cord or other injuries. Cheaper imitation wheelchairs for dogs or DIY dog carts made out of PVC pipe may be lightweight but are not engineered by a veterinarian and lack the sturdiness of a K-9 Cart."
