Peugeot Rifter wheelchair car

With the B-Active conversion kit, you broaden the wheelchair passenger's horizons. The Peugeot Rifter is very popular for use as a handicap van for private owners, for example. Access to the Rifter is very easy thanks to the wheelchair ramp, which is at a low angle of 11 degrees. The wheelchair ramp is made of strong, lightweight material and, in combination with an optional gas spring, the wheelchair ramp is very easy to operate. This makes the handicap van easy to operate, even for the elderly. The wheelchair ramp has been tested 30,000 times with a 400 kg load, so the quality is guaranteed!

Disability car private use

Peugeot Rifter wheelchair taxi

The Peugeot Rifter is very suitable for professional use as a wheelchair taxi. The belts can be attached to the wheelchair outside the Peugeot Rifter and can then only retract, not extend. Thanks to this safety feature, the wheelchair passenger cannot roll back down the wheelchair ramp. Having performed endurance tests, we can guarantee the quality of all the parts, like the wheelchair ramp and the latching mechanism. So you can use the Peugeot Rifter as a wheelchair taxi for many years without concern.

Seating configuration

The B-Active Peugeot Rifter is very flexible, thanks to various configuration options. No changes are made to the front passenger seats. For the second row, you can choose one or two separate seats or none at all. The third row is left for the wheelchair passenger. The seats on the second row of seats are narrower, so the wheelchair passenger's legs fit between them. The maximum number of passengers for the Rifter is therefore four, plus the wheelchair passenger.

Conversion kit

B-Style, inventor of the disability car, sells the conversion components for the Rifter as a complete kit to professional conversion companies. Because B-Style has, itself, been a conversion company for 44 years, a great wealth of knowledge has been gained about all aspects of conversion, and that knowledge has been put to good use in the development of the kit. The Rifter can be converted to a wheelchair accessible car in just 18 to 20 hours, without the need for any welding. Everything needed is supplied with the kit, as well as high quality finishing elements and a bumper conversion that doesn't interfere with the parking sensors. The quality delivered by B-Style is also economical, because the installation time is minimized, saving the conversion company money.

What is a conversion kit?

Personalization Rifter disability car

Various options are available for personalizing your Peugeot Rifter wheelchair car. For example, you can opt for high-quality, wear-resistant vinyl on the floor. The sides of the conversion can be fitted with an aluminium strip or ABS plastic cut to size. For extra visibility in the dark, a LED strip is available that automatically lights up when lowering the wheelchair ramp. Operation of the wheelchair ramp can be made easier with a gas spring. The tip of the wheelchair ramp can be folded back for optimum view to the rear.

Installation

To make an Peugeot Rifter suitable for use as a wheelchair vehicle a section is cut out of the floor. B-Style supplies a template for this, to ensure the cut-out is exactly the right size. The B-Style kit then fits perfectly in the Rifter and provides a lower entry and more space for the wheelchair passenger. Everything needed to perform the conversion is included, such as the wheelchair ramp, belts and all the necessary fasteners. In series production, the Peugeot Rifter is converted into a wheelchair car with a B-Active kit in 18 to 20 hours – exceptionally little time. There is no welding involved.

Highest quality score – PSA Groupe

A quality inspector assessed B-Style and its products and found the quality to be exceptionally high. Overall, our score is 98%; PSA says this is the highest score achieved by any of the tested suppliers. Naturally, we are very proud of this, and for you it is reassuring to know that our quality is recognized by PSA Groupe.

Paperwork handled by B-Style

All the official documentation required for conversion of an Peugeot Rifter into a WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle) is provided by B-Style. This includes the European Type Approval for the complete model range, as well as a second-phase Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for each specific model. The advantage of the latter is that the conversion company does not have to have each individual vehicle approved prior to registration. And that means huge time-savings.
