Travel Lighter with the Drive Medical Nitro Cruise Wheelchair

The Drive Medical Nitro Cruise Wheelchair is made for people who want a manual wheelchair that is easier to handle every day.

Its 28 lb aluminum frame is lighter to lift, load into a vehicle, and store at home. Quick-release rear wheels and a fold-down backrest make transport simpler, especially for caregivers or families who regularly take the chair out.

It also gives you useful fit adjustments, including multiple seat widths, adjustable seat depth, swing-back armrests, and two footrest choices.

If a standard wheelchair feels too heavy or awkward to manage, the Nitro Cruise gives you a lighter, more practical option without giving up everyday seating adjustments.

Why Choose This Lightweight Aluminum Wheelchair?

The Nitro Cruise combines a lightweight frame with practical seating and transport features for everyday use.

Portable Design with Personalized Seating

  • Lightweight aluminum frame: 28 lb frame for easier lifting and handling.
  • Adjustable seat depth: Changes from 16" to 18".
  • Three seat widths: Available in 16", 18", or 20".
  • Quick-release rear wheels: Remove for easier transport and storage.
  • Fold-down backrest: Helps reduce the stored profile.
  • Adjustable swing-back arms: Height- and depth-adjustable with side access.
  • Supportive back cushion: Includes removable lumbar and trunk-support blocks.
  • Adjustable anti-tippers: Included as standard equipment.
  • Nitro Sprint accessory bracket: Accepts compatible Nitro Sprint accessories.

Choose Your Nitro Cruise Manual Wheelchair

Select a 16", 18", or 20" seat width in black or red. Each size supports up to 300 lb and is available with one of two front-rigging options:

  • Elevating legrests (ELR): Standard elevating leg supports for adjustable leg positioning.
  • European-style swing-away footrests (SF): Infinitely adjustable riggings with ergonomic release levers, heel loops, and angle-adjustable footplates.

The swing-away footplates adjust from 9° to 37° and can be reversed to create additional heel or toe room. Browse our complete collection of manual wheelchairs and lightweight folding wheelchairs.

Lightweight Manual Wheelchair FAQs

How much does the Nitro Cruise wheelchair weigh?

The lightweight aluminum frame weighs 28 lb. The total configured weight may vary with seat width and selected front rigging.

Does the Nitro Cruise fold for transport?

Yes. The frame folds, the backrest folds down, and the rear wheels use quick-release axles for easier loading and storage.

Is the seat depth adjustable?

Yes. The patented seat-integrated extension adjusts the seat depth from 16" to 18". It is factory-set at the shorter position.

What is the difference between ELR and SF models?

ELR models include elevating legrests. SF models include infinitely adjustable European-style swing-away footrests with heel loops and angle-adjustable footplates.

Can the back cushion be washed?

Yes. Remove the cushion and machine wash it on a gentle cold-water cycle with mild detergent, then air dry. The foam positioning blocks must be removed and cleaned separately by hand.

Can the Nitro Cruise be used as a vehicle seat?

No. The manual states that this wheelchair is not approved for use as a seating system in a motor vehicle.
