Description
Quick answer: The Drive Medical Silver Sport 2 is a durable, folding standard wheelchair with detachable desk-length armrests and elevating leg rests. The desk arms slide easily under tables and desks and make side transfers simpler, while the elevating leg rests raise and support the legs at various angles to help with swelling and circulation. Built on a powder-coated silver-vein steel frame with a dual-axle seat (17.5″/19.5″ height), 8″ three-position front casters, and push-to-lock brakes, it’s available in 16″, 18″, and 20″ seat widths (250–350 lb capacity depending on width).
What is this wheelchair for?
The Silver Sport 2 is a versatile everyday manual wheelchair that the user can self-propel or have a caregiver push. Removable desk-length armrests improve accessibility to tables and desks while facilitating easier side transfers, and elevating leg rests allow users to raise and support their legs at various angles, which is beneficial for reducing swelling, improving circulation, and accommodating medical conditions that require leg elevation. The dual axle provides easy transition of seat height from 19.5″ to 17.5″, the 8″ front casters are adjustable in three positions, and it includes push-to-lock wheel locks and a carry pocket on the backrest.

Choosing a size
Pick the seat width that fits the user — 16″, 18″, or 20″ — keeping in mind the weight capacity rises with width (250 / 300 / 350 lbs). If you’re unsure, contact us with the user’s measurements and we’ll help you choose.
Frequently asked questions
Can the user push themselves, or does someone push them?
Both — the large rear wheels let the user self-propel, and the push handles let a caregiver assist.
What’s the benefit of desk arms?
They’re shorter at the front so the chair pulls up close under tables and desks, and they make side transfers easier.
What do elevating leg rests do?
They raise and support the legs at adjustable angles — helpful for reducing swelling, improving circulation, or conditions needing leg elevation.
What seat sizes are available?
16″, 18″, and 20″, with weight capacities of 250, 300, and 350 lbs respectively.
Is the seat height adjustable?
Yes — a dual axle lets you set the seat-to-floor height to 17.5″ or 19.5″.
Can I get it delivered in Brooklyn or shipped nationwide?
Yes — Stark Medical Supplies offers local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and across NYC, plus USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S.
Use as a mobility aid as directed. Engage both wheel locks before transfers, ensure leg rests and arms are secure, and stay within the seat’s weight capacity. (California Prop 65: this product can expose you to DEHP — see P65Warnings.ca.gov.)
