The Effortless Choice for Carer and Passenger
When you need a wheelchair that is as easy for a companion to manage as it is comfortable for the user to ride in, the Drive XS2 Aluminium Transit Wheelchair is the outstanding choice. We understand that a good transit chair should remove stress, not create it. That’s why the XS2 has been engineered to be exceptionally lightweight, simple to transport, and reassuringly safe to handle. It’s the perfect solution for days out, appointments, and travel, giving both the user and their attendant the confidence to get out and about with ease.
Peace of Mind for the Attendant
For the person pushing the wheelchair, control is everything. The XS2 is equipped with attendant-operated cable brakes, easily accessed on the push handles. These function just like bicycle brakes, providing intuitive and responsive control over speed, which is essential for safely navigating slopes, ramps, and kerbs. This gives the attendant the confidence to handle any terrain without stress, ensuring a safer and more comfortable journey for both of you.
Compact and Convenient for Travel
Weighing in at just 15kg, the robust aluminium frame makes the XS2 incredibly easy to handle, lift, and store. The design is optimised for travel; a half-folding backrest reduces the chair’s overall size, and the smaller transit-style rear wheels make for a more compact footprint. It fits neatly into most car boots, making it the ideal companion for everything from a trip to the shops to a holiday getaway.
Designed for Passenger Comfort
A lightweight frame doesn’t mean a compromise on comfort. The XS2 ensures a smooth and supportive ride for the passenger. The nylon seat and backrest are padded for comfort and are simple to wipe clean. To achieve a perfect seating position, the footrests can be adjusted in height and swing away to the side, making it much easier and safer to get in and out of the chair.
Looking for a self-propelled model? For users who wish to propel themselves, this wheelchair is also available in a self-propelled version, featuring large rear wheels with hand rims for complete independence.
