  • each side frame is formed by an L-shaped, in particular one-piece, tube.
  • the invention is based on the surprising finding that a locking of a folded folding wheelchair by means of already existing connecting elements in the form of a latching or snap closure is easy to implement. More specifically, in a folding wheelchair according to the invention when folding it a first flexibly shaped extension of a seat support at least partially under or over a second flexibly shaped extension of an opposite seat support and lock there when reaching the folded state. It is particularly advantageous if different locking positions, for example. By providing a locking projection, which can engage in one of three Arreti LucassEnglish aus provided. In order to facilitate the folding and locking, one of the two extensions can also be provided with an insertion aid, for example in the form of a guide pin, which engages in a recess in the other extension.
  • connection of the two extensions can be solved by simply pressing a lever again to unfold the folding wheelchair.
  • Cross strut tabs preferably provide for easier unfolding.
