Sirus Automotive’s latest vehicle conversion, the ‘Active’

is the perfect vehicle for wheelchair users who want to drive
yet don’t want to sit in their chair whilst driving. Many people
like to stay active, using their upper body strength as much
as possible, or simply prefer the comfort of a standard drivers
seat. The ‘Active’ has been developed in direct response to
customer feedback giving you even more flexibility and
choice for independent driving solutions.

Design

Say goodbye to transferring at the roadside in the rain…you no longer need to struggle by the side of your car, eliminating the risks and strains which can be encountered with external transfer. The ‘Active’ allows you to enter the vehicle from the rear, ascend the shallow incline ramp until your wheelchair is in position and once your chair is safely locked down, you manually transfer into the drivers seat. The ‘Active’ can offer an alternative to heavy roof boxes and offers quick and easy wheelchair stowage eliminating the need to dismantle your chair and uneasily make your way to the drivers position.

Lowering suspension

The ‘Active’ has lowering rear suspension which means that once the ramp is deployed, you have a much lower floor entry point and an extremely shallow ramp angle.

Ricon 6 – way Power Transfer Seat

The 6-way Power Transfer Seat™ from Ricon makes transfers from wheelchair to driver’s seat convenient and easy. It saves you valuable time too. At the touch of a fingertip, the fully automatic seat swivels 90 degrees to allow carefree transfers. Individual controls for front to rear travel and height give you complete control and comfort. The seat goes up, down, forward, back and rotation right and left.

Economical

With the automatic gearbox featuring VW’s patented DSG transmission, you will experience an extremely smooth journey. Plus with the engine offering up to 54 miles per gallon, it’s also extremely economical to run.

Entering and exiting the vehicle

Full remote control of the rear end means you have the option of opening the vehicle from within the home to allow the tailgate to lift and ramp deploy whilst you make your way to the car. From here you can enter straight into the ‘Active’, close the vehicle (again remotely) and begin your journey to wherever you desire. You will have no problems parking; you enter the vehicle from the rear as opposed to the side therefore you don’t need a disabled parking space.
