Product Details


The Drive S1 Self-Propelled Wheelchair is a reliable, practical choice for everyday use both indoors and outdoors. Built with a robust steel frame, it combines strength and stability with the convenience of a folding design, making it easy to transport and store when not in use. Despite its sturdy build, the S1 remains relatively lightweight at 18 kg, ensuring it can be lifted into a car boot or moved around the home with ease.

Comfort has been carefully considered: the seat and backrest are finished in easy-clean vinyl upholstery, while the padded armrests offer supportive cushioning for daily use. The large 61 cm (24") composite mag rear wheels feature durable plastic hand rims, allowing the user to propel themselves smoothly and confidently. For additional reassurance, the wheelchair is fitted with solid, puncture-proof PU tyres that require very little maintenance.

Practical features include height-adjustable plastic footrests, which can be swung away or removed entirely to make transfers easier. A heel strap is fitted as standard, providing secure lower limb support while seated. Parking brakes are accessible to both the user and an attendant, offering reliable safety when the chair is stationary.

Attendants are also assisted by the inclusion of rear stepper tubes, which make it easier to tilt the chair safely when negotiating kerbs or steps. Designed to balance comfort, safety, and durability, the Drive S1 Self-Propelled Wheelchair is a dependable option for those who require a strong, everyday wheelchair at excellent value. It is crash test compliant and suitable for use as a seat in a motor vehicle as per ISO 7176-19.

Free Insurance Cover for a month

This Drive S1 Wheelchair comes with an optional FREE one-month, worldwide insurance package that includes 24/7 breakdown recovery as well as protection from accidental damage. You'll also be covered should you accidentally injure someone or damage their property when using your Drive S1 Wheelchair and protected from theft and vandalism.

After you complete your purchase, we'll tell you more about the cover and offer you the chance to activate your free month of insurance with no obligation and no payment details required.
