Frequently Asked Questions
-
Less to lift. If you're a caregiver loading the chair in and out of a vehicle several times a day, dropping from a 35–40 lb chair to 19 lb makes a real difference over weeks and months. It also fits in overhead bins on some flights and is easy to gate-check.
-
Yes. The aluminum frame is rated for 300 lb. You'll notice the chair flexes less than aluminum chairs of 10–15 years ago because Drive has refined the tubing and brace geometry.
-
No — like all transport chairs, the rear wheels are too small to be pushed by the seated user. It's designed for a caregiver to push. If the user needs to self-propel, look at the Viper Plus GT or Silver Sport instead.
-
Yes, the cross-brace folds the chair to roughly 11" wide, which fits in most airline cargo holds. Many travelers gate-check it like a stroller.
-
Yes, swing-away footrests with padded heel loops come standard.
