Extra Room, Same Dependable Everyday Design
The Drive Medical Blue Streak Wheelchair in a 20" width is built for riders who want extra seating room without sacrificing everyday reliability. Its distinctive blue powder-coated steel frame supports up to 300 lbs while resisting scuffs and wear under continuous daily use.
Tool-free swing-away footrests with an included calf strap unlock and pivot outward for a clear entry path, or detach entirely to save trunk space. Flip-back desk-length armrests let you roll flush to a table without leaning forward, and the frame's cross-brace design folds down to a slim 12" width in seconds for easy storage or transport.

Specialist Insight: The Blue Streak sets a dependable benchmark for everyday manual mobility β where some multi-feature chairs add complex adjustable parts that can rattle loose over time, this steel chassis keeps mechanics straightforward and rigid. The combination of quick-release swing-away footrests and flip-back desk arms is what makes the biggest day-to-day difference: it allows seamless transitions from a car seat or bed while letting you roll right up to a table without a forced seat transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do the flip-back desk arms help with workspace access?
A: Full-length armrests at a fixed height can block the chair from sliding under a table edge. The shortened desk padding here clears standard workspace heights, and the whole arm segment flips backward for lateral transfers.
Q: Are tools required to remove or swing away the footrests?
A: No. A tool-free release tab lets you unlatch and swing the footplates 90 degrees out of the way for entry and exit, or detach them entirely from the mounting pins to save space in a car trunk.
Q: How much tire maintenance is needed for outdoor use?
A: Virtually none. The flat-free solid polyurethane tires won't puncture, leak, or go soft over gravel paths, sidewalk gaps, or door thresholds.
