Overview of the Silver Sport 2

The Silver Sport 2 is an excellent value! The floor-to-seat height is adjustable from 17.5” (for shorter users or those who propel with their feet) to 19.5” (for average to taller height adults). 3-position front casters allow you to adjust the front seat height to balance the rear wheel height adjustments.  Easily and quickly adjust the leg rest length to your comfort with tool-free adjustable leg rests. These adjustability features make the Silver Sport 2 comfortable and more tailored to your body type. The frame is powder-coated for a long-lasting finish that is easy to maintain.

What Makes It Different
The Silver Sport is a great folding wheelchair for anyone seeking a value that can’t be beat! The seat adjusts easily for your comfort. The vinyl upholstery is easy to wash and sanitize and the floor-to-seat height is adjustable from 17.5” (for shorter users or those who propel with their feet) to 19.5” (for average to taller height adults). Armrests are available in shorter desk length or full-length and are removable.
Both styles of footrests come standard with heel loops to secure feet to the footrests.

Why We Like It

The Silver Sport 2 can be ordered in three different seat widths, 16", 18", and 20." This chair starts with a 250 lbs weight capacity for the 16" seat width. The capacity rises to 300 lbs when you select a 18" seat width and 350 lbs when you choose a 20" seat width. The backrest and seat have embossed vinyl upholstery that’s very durable and lightweight.  Vinyl makes the upholstery easy to clean and won't absorb any spills or incontinence accidents.  The vinyl upholstery also comes with about 1" of padding sewn in for your comfort. Push-to-lock brakes allow you to to keep the chair from moving for safe transfers. The maintenance-free urethane tires mounted on durable composite wheels alleviate any concerns about getting a flat tire or having to inflate tires.

Your Silver Sport 2 will arrive in one box, folded. You simply need to unfold and attach the legrests (no tools required). If any assistance is required, please call our service technicians for assistance.

Measuring Guide

View Detailed Measurement Guide

Seat Depth¹

Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.

Back Height²

Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.

Rear Seat to Floor³

Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.

Hanger Angle⁴

Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.

Seat Width⁵

Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.

Wheel Camber⁶

Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.

Front Seat to Floor⁷

Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.

Footrest Width⁸

Measure from the inside of each legrest tubing the distance or desired distance between legrests.

Center of Gravity⁹

Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axel.

Seat to Footrest Length¹⁰

Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.

Backrest Angle¹¹

Measure the the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurment for every .5" of dump.
