This Drive lightweight aluminum wheelchair combines portability, adjustability, and supportive seating in a durable manual wheelchair weighing just 28 pounds. Its lightweight frame makes the chair easier for caregivers to lift and load while reducing the effort required for capable users to self-propel.
Drive’s patented seat-integrated depth adjustment changes the seat from 16 to 18 inches without complicated hardware or replacement upholstery. Combined with three available seat widths—16, 18, and 20 inches—this flexibility helps create a more personalized fit for different users.
A padded, machine-washable back cushion includes removable foam blocks for customizable lumbar and trunk support. Swing-back armrests adjust in height and depth, providing additional positioning flexibility and easier access during transfers.
Lightweight spoke wheels and treaded tires provide dependable traction and control across suitable indoor and outdoor surfaces. Quick-release rear axles allow the wheels to detach for faster breakdown, loading, and storage, while the fold-down backrest further reduces the chair’s transport profile.
Choose between standard elevating leg rests or European-style swing-away footrests. The European-style footrests feature ergonomic release levers and continuous adjustment without fixed holes. Their angle-adjustable footplates include heel loops and can be reversed to create additional heel or toe clearance.
Adjustable anti-tippers are included as standard equipment, along with the wrench required for positioning. A mounting bracket is also included for compatible Nitro Sprint accessories.

What seat widths are available?
The wheelchair is available in 16-, 18-, and 20-inch seat widths.
Is the seat depth adjustable?
Yes. The seat depth adjusts from 16 to 18 inches.
How is the seat depth adjusted?
Drive’s patented seat-integrated system changes the depth without requiring replacement upholstery or complex additional components.
Why is proper seat depth important?
Correct seat depth helps support the thighs while maintaining appropriate clearance behind the knees.
How do I select the correct seat width?
Measure the user’s seated hip width and allow appropriate clearance according to professional fitting guidance.
Does the chair include a back cushion?
Yes. It includes a padded, machine-washable back cushion.
What are the removable foam blocks used for?
The foam blocks provide customizable lumbar and lateral trunk support within the back cushion.
Can the back cushion be machine washed?
Yes. Follow the care-label instructions and remove any foam inserts or non-washable components before laundering.
Does the backrest fold?
Yes. The backrest folds down to create a more compact transport and storage profile.
Are the rear wheels removable?
Yes. Quick-release axles allow the rear wheels to detach without complicated tools.
Why are quick-release wheels useful?
Removing the wheels makes the wheelchair easier to lift, load into a vehicle, store, and service.
What type of rear wheels does the chair have?
It uses lightweight spoke wheels with treaded tires for traction and rolling control.
Can the wheelchair be used outdoors?
It may be used on suitable sidewalks, pavement, and other firm surfaces. Avoid deep gravel, loose sand, mud, steep slopes, and severely uneven terrain.
Are anti-tippers included?
Yes. Adjustable anti-tippers are supplied as standard equipment.
Is a tool included for adjusting the anti-tippers?
Yes. The required adjustment wrench is included.
Do anti-tippers prevent every tip?
No. They help reduce rearward tipping risk but cannot prevent every tipping incident or compensate for unsafe operation.
What type of armrests does the chair have?
The swing-back armrests adjust in both height and depth.
Why are swing-back armrests helpful?
They move away from the seat to create additional clearance during side transfers or access to a table.
What leg-rest options are available?
Choose between standard elevating leg rests and European-style swing-away footrests.
What are elevating leg rests?
Elevating leg rests support the lower legs in a raised position and may be appropriate when prescribed for positioning needs.
What makes the European-style footrests different?
They use an ergonomic release lever and provide continuous adjustment rather than relying on fixed-position holes.
Are the footplates adjustable?
Yes. The swing-away footplates provide angle adjustment and can be reversed for additional heel or toe space.
Are heel loops included?
Yes. Heel loops help maintain foot position on the footplates.
Should the user stand on the footplates?
No. Swing the footrests away or remove them before standing or transferring. Never use the footplates as steps.
What is the Nitro Sprint accessory bracket?
It is an included mounting bracket designed for compatible Drive Nitro Sprint accessories.
Are Nitro Sprint accessories included?
Only the mounting bracket is listed as included. Compatible accessories may be sold separately.
What frame colors are available?
The aluminum frame is available in red or black.
Does the wheelchair fold?
Yes. The main frame folds, the backrest folds down, and the rear wheels can be removed for compact storage.
Will it fit in every vehicle?
Not necessarily. Compare the folded dimensions and component weights with the vehicle’s trunk or cargo opening before purchase.
Can the wheelchair be used as a seat inside a moving vehicle?
Only if the exact model is specifically documented as crash tested and transit approved. Otherwise, transfer the user into an approved vehicle seat.
What warranty is included?
The frame carries a limited lifetime warranty, subject to Drive’s terms and exclusions.
What is the HCPCS code?
The listed code is K0004, but its status is identified as pending.
Does an HCPCS code guarantee insurance coverage?
No. Coverage depends on final coding status, medical necessity, documentation, supplier participation, and the individual insurance plan.
Should a healthcare professional assist with fitting?
A physical therapist, occupational therapist, or seating specialist can help select the seat width, depth, armrest height, footrest position, and back-support configuration.
What should be inspected before each use?
Check the frame, wheel locks, tires, quick-release axles, anti-tippers, armrests, footrests, cushion, and folding mechanisms. Do not use the chair if anything is loose or damaged.
