Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main benefit of quick-release rear axles?
A: Quick-release axles allow you to remove the large rear wheels at the push of a button. This significantly reduces the overall lifting weight and shrinks the wheelchair's size to easily fit into tight car trunks.
Q: How does the seat depth adjustment work?
A: Drive's patented seat-integrated adjustment mechanism lets you extend or shorten the seat depth between 16 and 18 inches without taking the chair apart, providing an accurate fit for varying leg lengths.
Q: Are anti-tippers included with the Nitro Cruise?
A: Yes! Anti-tipper wheels ship standard with every unit and can be easily adjusted using the included tool for added safety on inclines.
