Product Details

The Drive XS Aluminium Self-Propelled Wheelchair is a high-end mobility solution engineered for comfort, reliability, and refined performance. Designed to meet the demands of those who expect more from their wheelchair, it combines a lightweight yet robust aluminium frame with premium features and accessories.

With its folding frame, half-folding backrest, and removable footrests and armrests, this chair offers exceptional portability and compactness without compromising on strength. The padded, desk-style armrests allow you to sit close to surfaces, and they also flip up to make side transfers easier. Swing-away footrests further aid transfers in and out of the chair.

Comfort is built in — deluxe seat and back cushions, together with a padded, tension-adjustable backrest, support your body throughout the day. Safety is paramount: dual braking systems (for the user and attendant), anti-tip wheels via rear stepper tubes, and reflective elements ensure both stability and visibility. The 24" quick-release rear wheels with puncture-proof polyurethane tyres require very little maintenance, making this wheelchair not just premium, but practical for long-term use.

Available in two seat widths (18" or 20") and striking red or blue frame finishes, the Drive XS Aluminium Self-Propelled Wheelchair is more than a mobility aid — it’s an investment in independence, sophistication, and peace of mind.

Free Insurance Cover for a month

This Drive XS Aluminium 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 XS Aluminium 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.
