The Freedom Excel Superlite Transit is the attendant-propelled version of the Excel Superlite. It has 300 mm rear wheels instead of large spoked wheels, so the chair is narrower and easier to steer through doorways, and the carer controls it with drum hub brakes on the push handles that lock for parking. The double-braced aluminium frame carries a 110 kg safe working load and comes in 460 mm (18 in) and 510 mm (20 in) seat widths with a 430 mm seat depth.
The backrest folds down and the frame folds to 290 mm wide for a car boot. Polyurethane tyres never need inflating, the padded armrests flip back for side transfers, and the legrests swing away and lift off. Upholstery is spill-proof nylon.

Who it suits
A client who does not self-propel and relies on a carer for all mobility outside the home, for example for shopping trips, appointments or respite outings. The drum brakes give the carer control on slopes. Because the small rear wheels put the brakes out of the client’s reach, choose the self-propelled Excel Superlite if there is any chance the client will push themselves or need to lock the chair unaided.
