Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this wheelchair stands out for its robust structure, budget and user-friendly features, making it an invaluable asset for individuals with mobility challenges.

Key Features and Benefits

The S1 wheelchair is constructed with a strong steel frame, ensuring stability and durability. Its easy fold mechanism allows for convenient transportation and storage, making it ideal for users who are always on the go. Whether you're navigating through your home or exploring the great outdoors, the S1 provides the support you need.

Comfort and Cleanliness

Comfort is paramount, and the vinyl upholstery paired with padded armrests ensures that users can enjoy extended periods of sitting without discomfort. The upholstery is also easy to clean, allowing for hassle-free maintenance. No need to worry about spills or stains; simply wipe it down to keep it looking fresh.

Enhanced Mobility

The S1 is available in two models: the self-propel version with 61cm (24”) composite mag rear wheels and the transit model with 32cm (12.5”) rear wheels. The self-propel model allows users to navigate independently, while the transit version is designed for easy handling by caregivers. Both models feature puncture-proof polyurethane (PU) tyres, which require minimal upkeep and enhance the wheelchair's manoeuvrability.

Safety Features

Safety is a top priority for the Drive S1. Both models are crash test compliant, adhering to ISO 7176-19 standards, making them suitable for use as a seat in a motor vehicle. The attendant or user accessible parking brakes on the rear wheels provide additional safety, ensuring that the wheelchair remains securely in place when needed.

Adjustable Components

The plastic footrests of the S1 wheelchair are easily height adjustable, allowing customisation to meet the user's individual needs. They can also be swung away to facilitate transfers or removed altogether for transportation. For added support, the self-propel model includes a heel strap for foot support, while the transit model features a calf strap for additional leg support.
