Advice from the showroom floor
Will the S1 Transit Wheelchair suit you?
The S1 Transit is a dependable chair for being pushed by a companion, indoors or out. Its steel frame feels planted and stable, the solid tyres never need pumping up, and the vinyl seat wipes clean after a wet day. A calf strap comes as standard for extra leg support.
A chair should fit the person in it, so visit a showroom and sit in the S1 to check the width. Your helper can try the parking brakes and stepper tubes, then fold the chair and lift it to get a proper feel for it. Give us a ring beforehand and we will have one out for you.

The S1 Transit Wheelchair in detail
A sturdy steel transit chair with touches usually kept for higher-spec models. Solid tyres all round and height adjustable footrests are the two that owners notice most, and both come as standard on the S1 from Drive.
What you get
- A robust steel frame built for stability, indoors and outdoors
- 32cm (12.5 inch) rear wheels that make the chair easier for an attendant to steer
- Puncture-proof polyurethane tyres front and back, needing very little upkeep
- Vinyl upholstery and padded armrests that wipe clean
- Parking brakes on the rear wheels
- Rear stepper tubes to help the attendant up a kerb
- A calf strap included for leg support
Footrests that adapt
The plastic footrests adjust in height to suit the user. They swing aside to clear the way when sitting down or standing up, and lift off completely for storage.
Folding and transport
The frame folds for the car or a cupboard, and with the footrests removed it takes up less room still.
