Silver Sport 2 Wheelchair 18" with Swing Away Footrests
Model: Silver Sport II Series (18" Seat)
Availability: In Stock β Ready to Ship
Dependable Support, Genuinely Adjustable
The Drive Medical Silver Sport 2 is built for riders and caregivers who want dependable structural stability without sacrificing everyday flexibility. Its carbon steel frame, finished with a chip-resistant silver vein powder coat, supports up to 300 lbs while resisting chips and scratches over years of daily use.
A dual-axle system lets you lower the seat-to-floor height from 19.5" down to a 17.5" hemi profile for independent foot propulsion, or keep it at the standard height for traditional pushing. Detachable desk-length armrests let you roll flush to a table without leaning forward, and tool-free swing-away footrests open a clear front path for safe standing transfers.
Key Features
- Durable Silver Vein Frame: Powder-coated steel resists chips and scratches for a lasting, polished look.
- Dual-Axle Height Adjustment: Adjusts seat-to-floor height between 17.5" and 19.5" for independent foot propulsion or hemi-level tracking.
- Three-Position Front Casters: 8" front casters adjust to three heights for optimal directional control.
- Embossed Vinyl Seating: An 18" x 16" surface that's lightweight, breathable, and fast to wipe clean.
- Padded Detachable Desk Arms: Pull flush to workspaces and dining tables, unlatching easily for lateral transfers.
- Tool-Free Swing-Away Footrests: Pivot outward for a clear front path, with heel loops and adjustable-length riggings.
- Flat-Free Polyurethane Tires: High-traction tires on composite wheels handle sidewalks without puncture risk or air pressure checks.
- Rear Storage Pocket: A built-in carry pocket keeps personal items organized during travel.
Specialist Insight: The Silver Sport 2 sets a dependable benchmark for classic manual mobility β where traditional models can feel cumbersome to maneuver or transport, this one balances a full 300 lb strength rating with a side-collapsing frame that shrinks to a slim 12.5" folded width. The dual-axle system paired with detachable desk arms is what makes the biggest day-to-day difference: caregivers can quickly trim seat height for desk clearance, while the user rolls right up to a workspace or table without a forced seat transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do the detachable 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 unlatches tool-free for lateral transfers.
Q: What's the benefit of the dual-axle system for independent movement?
A: Standard high-clearance wheels can make it hard for shorter riders to reach the ground. Moving the rear wheel hubs to the upper mounting points lowers the seat to a 17.5" hemi profile, enabling comfortable, independent foot propulsion indoors or on level pavement.
Q: How much cleaning does the vinyl upholstery need?
A: Very little. The non-porous embossed vinyl is fluid-resistant, stopping moisture from reaching the seat core, and sanitizes instantly with mild disinfectant, soapy water, or cleaning wipes.
