Silver Sport 2 Wheelchair - 20 Inch Seat with Swing Away Footrests
Model: Silver Sport II Series (20" Seat)
Availability: In Stock β Ready to Ship
Extra Room, Genuinely Adjustable
The Drive Medical Silver Sport 2 in a 20" width is built for riders who need extra seating room along with real everyday flexibility. Its carbon steel frame, finished with a chip-resistant silver vein powder coat, supports up to 350 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 standard for traditional pushing. Tool-free swing-away footrests with adjustable-length support pivot outward to clear a path for safe standing transfers, and the whole frame folds side-to-side down to a slim 12" width for easy storage or transport.
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 foot propulsion or hemi-level tracking.
- Three-Position Front Casters: 8" front casters adjust to three heights for optimal directional control.
- Expanded Embossed Vinyl Seating: A roomy 20" x 16" surface that's lightweight, breathable, and fast to wipe clean.
- Tool-Free Swing-Away Footrests: Pivot outward for a clear entry path, with adjustable-length support for a custom fit.
- Flat-Free Polyurethane Tires: High-traction tires on composite wheels handle sidewalks without puncture risk.
- Comfort & Storage: Padded armrests for upper-body support and a built-in backrest carry pocket for personal items.
Specialist Insight: The Silver Sport 2 sets a dependable benchmark for classic manual mobility β where high-capacity chairs can feel cumbersome to maneuver or transport, this one balances a full 350 lb strength rating with a side-collapsing frame that shrinks to a slim 12" folded width. The dual-axle system paired with flat-free polyurethane tires is what makes the biggest day-to-day difference: caregivers can quickly trim seat height for desk clearance, and the composite hubs eliminate any pneumatic tire maintenance altogether.

Frequently Asked Questions
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: What's the advantage of the 3-position front forks?
A: Fixed casters limit how you can adjust seat tilt or level. Multiple indexing holes on the front fork blocks let you modify the front-end height to maintain a level stance and optimize tracking between indoor and outdoor surfaces.
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.
