Availability: In Stock β Ready to Ship
Extra Room, Real Leg Support
The Drive Medical Silver Sport 2 in a 20" width is built for riders who need extra seating room along with flexible lower-limb positioning. Its carbon steel frame, finished with a chip-resistant silver vein powder coat, supports up to 350 lbs while holding up to daily community use.
Mechanical elevating legrests let a caregiver or user lift and lock the legs at a precise angle to ease tension and support circulation, and a dual-axle system adjusts seat height from 19.5" down to a 17.5" hemi profile for independent foot propulsion. Padded, detachable desk-length armrests let you roll flush to a table, and the whole frame folds side-to-side down to a slim 12.5" width for easy storage and transport.
Key Features

- Three-Position Front Casters: 8" front casters adjust to three heights for optimal directional control.
- Flat-Free Polyurethane Tires: High-traction tires handle sidewalks without puncture risk.

- Rear Storage Pocket: A built-in chart carry pocket keeps personal items organized.
Specialist Insight: Many high-capacity positioning chairs feel bulky and hard to maneuver, but this one balances real 350 lb strength with a smart side-collapsing frame that shrinks to a slim 12.5" folded width β a genuine advantage over bulkier positioning models. The combination of elevating legrests and detachable desk arms is what makes the biggest day-to-day difference: it allows seamless transitions from a car seat or bed while still letting you roll right up to a 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 advantage of elevating leg support during extended use?
A: Staying in one fixed posture for hours can create focal pressure points. The mechanical leg extensions let you elevate the lower legs to custom angles, easing tension and shifting position as needs change.
Q: How much cleaning does the vinyl upholstery need?
A: Very little. Unlike fabric that absorbs spills and dust, the non-porous vinyl surface is fluid-resistant and sanitizes instantly with mild household disinfectant, soapy water, or cleaning wipes.
