Drive Ultra Lightweight Transit (Enigma)
Our verdict
The Drive Ultra Lightweight Transit gives a 51 cm seat rated to 125 kg for 11.6 kg (10.4 kg to carry), though Drive’s own transit page describes the wrong rear wheels.
Best for: users who need a 20 inch seat and a carer who wants a chair around 10 kg once the footrests are off.
Not for: users above 115 kg on the 17 inch version, or anyone needing a chair approved as a vehicle seat.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
Drive’s transit product page for codes LAWC008A and LAWC012A lists “Spoked 61cm (24″) rear wheels with solid grey Polyurethane (PU) tyres” and “hand rims”, which describes a self-propelled chair. Drive’s spare parts list for LAWC007 to LAWC012 includes a “12.5” rear wheel” and transit push handles. We could not confirm from Drive’s documents which rear wheel the transit version ships with; one dealer we checked, Glebe Healthcare, lists 12.5 inch rear wheels.
Where these figures come from

Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date.

An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
