Smooth ride performance
The R-Trak comprises four wheels with individual suspension, creating a smoother ride to keep you comfortable during your journey. As a rear-wheel drive chair, the R-Trak performs well when travelling up slopes and over rough terrains. The rear tyres provide greater stability and traction when weight shifts onto the tyres. Travel 16.34 miles per charge and feel secure when cruising with the R-Trak as the anti-tip wheels keep your chair steady.
Freedom with TB3 seating
The R-Trak comes with a modern seat appearance and a range of available configurations to optimise your TB3 seat. Users can opt for the TB3 powered seating for the freedom to tilt and recline the seat as desired. The TB3 powered seating elevates up to 10 inches and tilts in space 50 degrees, providing greater independence for users with weaker shoulders to reach for items. The seats function to aid your ability to interact with your environment freely while the extended leg rests allow your knees to bend comfortably. Optionally, users can get the powered elevating leg rests for passive leg movement and convenience.
Personalise your chair to optimise comfort and safety
Choose from 14 unique colours ranging from blue to pink; depending on your preference, the R-Trak can take on a modern or vibrant appearance. Adapting to a large range of sizes, adjust the seat width and depth from 12 to 22 inches. Further customise the R-Trak to your comfort, the height of the back support ranges from 14 to 29 inches and the back support width spans from 12 to 24 inches. Depending on the length of your spine, the health of your joints and muscle strength, our clinical assessor will tailor the seat to best optimise your functionality. The R-Trak is truly a custom chair, choose between solid or pneumatic tyres according to your preference.
Our verdict
The Quantum R-Trak is a custom-built powerchair with individual suspension on its wheels for stability on off-road terrains. The rear wheels effectively drive the powerchair up slopes while the elevated leg rests allow users to rest in the comfort of their powerchair.
Although the R-Trak performs well outdoors, mid-wheeled and front-wheeled drives have smaller turning circles for indoor use. The Dietz Sango Advanced Powerchair comes in three different options: a rear-wheeled drive, mid-wheeled drive or front-wheeled drive. The Dietz Sango offers greater flexibility when choosing the right wheelbase for your lifestyle and a catapult seating option which aids transfers between seated and standing positions. The R-Trak outperforms the Dietz Sango in regards to its stability but the Dietz Sango is a great powerchair for standing transfers. Considering other rear-wheeled solutions, the Invacare Aviva RX 40 is a less costly elevating powerchair with individual suspension. The RX40 can travel 31 miles and go up to 8 mph which can be ideal for individuals who prefer to go faster for longer. However, the suspension in the R-Trak provides a smoother experience compared to the elastomer dampener system in the RX40 powerchair. Alternatively, the Invacare Storm4 X-Plore is an elevating powerchair with individually adjustable suspension. While the Storm 4 is more costly than the RX40 and R-Trak, the powerchair offers an exceptionally extensive range of customisation; the Storm 4 is the ideal option for individuals looking to fully optimise for postural support or require a customised paediatric or bariatric powerchair. Individuals willing to go the next step for a highly customisable seating system could consider the Sedeo seating in Quickie Q500 R. The ergonomic Sedeo seating system is particularly effective at distributing pressures to reduce skin breakage, postural support and independent function. Although the Quickie Q500 R has the best seating options, the R-Trak is less costly and has better outdoor performance.
Taken together, the Quantum R-Trak offers a comfortable balance between cost and features with its individual suspension and wide range of customisation for your seat, wheels and leg rests.
