The Quickie Q50 RCarbon!

Folding powerchair with Lithium battery

The Q50R is the ideal entry-level solution for using a power wheelchair.

Increased maximum user weight

At just 14.5 kgs without battery, the Q50 R Carbon weighs less than other carbon folding power wheelchairs. Thanks to its incredibly strong carbon fiber design, it can also support a user weight of up to 136 kgs.

Enhanced Comfort

The padded seat and tension a adjustable backrest ensure your seated comfort over longer periods. It also has a breathable cover that allows body heat to pass through, helping with temperature regulation.

Storage

Spacious and secure, under seat zippered pouch for essential items.
Small Turning Radius

The Q50R is ideal for indoor environments as it has a small turning radius of 80cm, making it easier to turn in narrow hallways, kitchens and other restricted areas when compared to a regular mobility scooter.

Narrow 570mm width

Its slim width easily fits through narrow doorways and navigates busy rooms.

Smooth ride

Its Carbon Fiber frame can naturally flex over uneven surfaces, providing unique shock absorbing characteristics to deliver one of the smoothest, most efficient rides around.
