What Makes It Different
The Drive Viper Plus GT is the most adjustable lightweight wheelchair available at one standard low price. The adjustable seat rail extensions easily adjusts the seat depth from 16" to 18" and comes standard on all chairs up to a 20" seat width. In addition to an easy-to-adjust seat depth, you also get two quick-release axle positions allowing you to set the seat height at either 17.5” (for shorter users or those who propel with their feet) or 19.5” (for average to taller height adults).

Why We Like It
The comfort adjustments on the Viper Plus GT and light weight are the main appeal for the wheelchair. Being able to adjust the seat depth from 16” to 18” allows the chair to be adaptable to multiple users or varying seating preferences. Very few wheelchairs and even fewer lightweight wheelchairs offer an angle adjustable backrest.  The Viper Plus GT’s backrest can be adjusted from 5º to 20º. The quick release rear axles make it simple to remove the rear wheels and greatly decrease the amount you have to lift to place the chair in your vehicle when transporting your wheelchair. The Viper Plus GT comes standard with adjustable anti-tippers.

The new Viper Plus GT with Universal Armrests allows the user to easily convert the armrests into desk arm, half arm, and full arm with the push of a button. The armrests also adjust to eight individual heights in ½” increments for complete customization.
