Eight inch rear wheels catch on cracks and curb cuts more than a 12 inch wheel. The Nova Transport Chair with 12 inch rear wheels adds locking hand brakes on the companion handles so the person pushing can slow and park. Full-length arms stay fixed. Choose Blue or Red.
Rear wheels are 12 inches. Front wheels are 8 inches. The rider still does not self-propel. A companion pushes. The larger rear wheel is for broken pavement, not independent driving.
Locking hand brakes sit where the companion holds the chair. Use them to slow and to park. Rear wheel locks are also on the chair. Lock the wheels before a transfer. Do not use wheel locks to slow down on a slope.
Arms stay fixed at full length. Compare the flip-up Nova if a desk or a car transfer is why you are shopping.
The aluminum frame folds. Confirm the folded row in the spec table against the trunk you will use.
This chair is for a rider in the 19 inch class who will be pushed by a companion and wants 12 inch rear wheels plus hand brakes, with full-length arms left in place.
It is a weaker fit if they need flip-up arms, an extra-wide 22 inch seat, or a wheelchair they can self-propel.
Rear wheel size and arm style are the cuts. This 330 keeps full-length fixed arms.
Trade-off: you get 12 inch rear wheels and companion hand brakes with full-length arms. You give up flip-up arms, an extra-wide seat, and a self-propel wheelchair.

No. The 12 inch wheels are for the companion pushing over cracks and curb cuts. There are no large drive wheels. Compare a wheelchair if the rider needs to self-propel.
No. Arms on this 330 are full-length and fixed. Compare the Nova flip-up chair or the 353 already on this store if the arm has to move out of the way.
The companion uses the locking hand brakes on the push handles to slow and to park. Lock the rear wheels before the rider sits or stands.
