Product Details

The Drive S1 Transit Wheelchair is a dependable, cost-effective mobility solution designed for everyday use. Built with a robust steel frame, it offers excellent durability and stability, while its folding design makes it easy to transport in a car boot or store neatly when not in use. At just 15 kg, it is light enough for attendants to handle while still feeling reassuringly strong for the user.

Comfort and practicality are at the forefront of the S1 design. The padded vinyl seat and backrest provide supportive comfort while being easy to wipe clean — ideal for daily use at home, in care settings, or when travelling. Padded armrests add extra support, and height-adjustable footrests include a heel strap for secure positioning. These footrests can also be swung away or removed entirely to make side transfers quicker and easier.

The 32 cm (12.5") solid rear wheels are designed for attendant use, making manoeuvring straightforward and reliable. Puncture-proof PU tyres reduce maintenance and deliver long-lasting performance on a variety of surfaces. Safety features include attendant-operated brakes, foot-operated parking brakes, and rear stepper tubes, which help carers tilt the wheelchair safely when negotiating kerbs or small steps.

The Drive S1 Transit Wheelchair is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a versatile and practical choice. For those looking for excellent value, a re-boxed version is also available, providing a more cost-effective option without compromising on quality. 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 Transit 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 Transit 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.
