As a young brand established in 2000, Drive Medical stands out among a large number of foreign brands with its cost-effective advantages. The products have won a large part of the sales list in Central Asia and the United States, but the selection of old materials affects portability and durability.
 
There are two types of wheels for wheelchairs: pneumatic tires and solid tires. Pneumatic tires have good shock absorption effect, smooth driving and good comfort, but they need to be inflated regularly, and the tires are easy to wear and tear, and maintenance is more cumbersome. Solid tires do not have the problem of punctures and air leaks, but the shock absorption is poor, and the comfort performance is inferior.
 
Drive Medical's manual wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs are mainly made of steel and aluminum, which has a slightly larger dead weight and wear-resistant solid tires to improve durability. It's just that although the steel reduces the cost, it is easy to rust in a humid environment, and it is not suitable for use in areas with high air humidity. In addition, Drive Medical uses a fixed frame that is heavy-loaded, but it lacks Ottobock's detachable rear wheels, which also sacrifices some convenience and takes up more space when storing.
 
The brand's manual wheelchairs are divided into four series: Bariatric, Transport, Reclining, and Standard, compared with the most ordinary Standard, Bariatric's weight bearing of more than 200kg is very special, especially suitable for people who are overweight, with a price of about 4200 yuan, which has obvious advantages in similar products. Transport is a lightweight series, mainly made of aluminum, with a weight of less than 12Kg, and the price ranges from 550 to 2,000 yuan depending on the flexibility of the components. Reclining can be fully reclined, and there are anti-roll wheels at the back to ensure safety, which is suitable for high paraplegic patients.
 
Under the electric wheelchair, Drive Medical includes three series: Standard, Portable and Heavy Duty, all with prices of about 10,000 yuan. The Standard is the most comfortable to use, with a seat and backrest that are modeled after Inwellcom's Küschall series for maximum flexibility. The Portable series can be folded, while the Heavy Duty is an electric wheelchair version of the Bariatric, which is suitable for obese people.
