The Drive XS2 aluminium transit wheelchair combines ultra-lightweight construction with attendant-operated cable brakes for enhanced mobility assistance.
The Effortless Choice for Helper and Passenger
The Drive XS2 Aluminium Transit Wheelchair delivers outstanding performance for both companion and passenger. Engineered to be exceptionally lightweight, simple to transport, and reassuringly safe to handle. It’s the perfect solution for days out, appointments, and travel, providing both the passenger and their attendant the convenience to get out and about with ease.
Reliable Control 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 capability to handle any terrain with ease, 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.
