WAV sizes at Bristol Street Versa Mobility Solutions
Medium-Small WAVs
Have more space than a small WAV which either means extra passenger seats, more room for equipment or a more flexible seating position.
Like the Small WAVs, these vehicles will have more of a car-like feel in terms of size
The wheelchair user can be positioned behind the second row of seats in the rear-most part of the car, but many conversions have options to sit further up in between the second row of rear seats.
Medium-Large WAVs
Based on larger vehicles and are the most common WAV for users with larger wheelchairs as their size allows more flexible seating arrangements
Can carry up to nine passengers including the wheelchair user and driver
Some conversions allow two wheelchair users
The majority of medium-large WAVs are still fitted with a ramp, however if you need a lift these can sometimes be fitted, but you should be aware that there will be reduced head height in these cases.
Large WAVs
Based on the largest vehicles available on the Scheme and, in terms of size, are more like a commercial vehicle
Good for larger families or those travelling in the largest or heaviest wheelchair
All are fitted with a lift
Most can be converted to allow for two wheelchair passengers, as well as space for other passengers in standard seats.
