Customer Reviews for Drive Medical Lightweight Expedition Red Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes

This chair lasted 2 weeks. Hit a bump in sidewalk and front caster folded like a cheap suit. Pain in the neck to get parts, providers??? No, we should be able to order direct!!

Description needs to say brakes not lock the wheels.

Bought this for easy transport for my mom when we visit to take her put shopping or to dinner! No assembly except putting on the foot rests. No tools needed. Easy and lightweight to transport in your vehicle! Great price

Bought this to be able to take my 96 year old mother shopping. We have only used it twice. So far so good. It was easy to connect the footrest. Not too heavy. I am small, but able to lift it in the trunk. Nice red color.

This chair seems to be working good! So far very happy with it. I like the larger wheels for pushing my husband around.

Very nice only 22 " wide with 19" seat Brakes on handle bars, 19#, well made. Lifetime warranty.

Light and easy to use. Maintenance recommendations for the average user doesn’t seem realistic if have someone attentive to such tasks but not hard.

Well made, lightweight wheelchair. Handbrakes are a definite plus compared with my prior chair, where the operator had to bend down and flip the brake mechanism onto the wheels.

No locking hand brakes; wheels not balanced so all four on the floor at same time. Returned immediately.

This transport wheel chair came promptly. It looks very nice and is quite comfortable. It had hand brakes, which are difficult to find in transport chairs, and was light enough and folded compactly enough to easily fit behind the front seat of the car. The adjustment screw for the left leg was easy to move and to adjust. The one for the right leg was so tight that it took much force and a strong man over 6 feet tall all of his strength to finally move it. The right leg still is not quite right, but is usable. The chair has large wheels, but is somewhat heavy to move when the legs are attached. When going over steep bumps, the legs sometimes catch. The chair is serving its purpose and is quite good, except for the legs (which I would redesign to raise when crossing streets)

Very lightweight. For smaller person under 150 pounds, small frame.

This is a fantastic product. It was a God send. It helps me move my father in law so much easier. Our regular standard wheel chair is 4x as heavy. The only drawback is there is not a pouch for storage. It could easily be placed on the rear of back rest.

So far so good but I wish brakes locked tighter other than that chair works fine.

One front wheel broke after hitting small bump in doorway. The other broke shortly after. Had product less than 9 months. No idea how to get new wheels or put them on if I did find some. So frustrated. The same thing happened with the previous chair (same model.) At least that one lasted over a year.

Bought to use with parents. Both are well below weight limit but wheel bracket has now buckled twice. It’s lucky they didn’t fall out. Very poor design of wheel bracket means the slightest ridge on pavement puts pressure on bracket. They give way and buckle then need replacing. I won’t buy another Drive product.

It is just "almost" too small for my 236lb. husband
