Truly a solution for indoors & outdoors
The Quickie Q300R is a rear-wheeled drive that effortlessly adapts to your lifestyle regardless if you need to turn around tight corners in your home or require a stable drive to travel through uneven pavements. Optional 14-inch drive wheels are available if you’d like greater performance outdoors. With a superbly compact width of just 55 cm, 110 cm length and a turning circle of 180 cm, the Q300 R is a seamless indoor solution. Sunrise Medical has brilliantly incorporated the smallest possible base geometry while simultaneously maintaining excellent traction for your outdoor journeys. In addition to its compact size, the Q300 R weighs 124 kg which allows you to use the powerchair in small residential elevators.
Offering unparalleled convenience, the Q300 R has an adjustable floor-to-seat height. Unlike most powerchairs, the Q300 R allows you to elevate your powerchair while driving. The feature allows you to conveniently elevate yourself on the go. The seat’s height from the ground starts at just 43 cm which allows you to use your powerchair as a seat at restaurant tables or in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. The powerchair has been crash-tested, allowing you to remain seated in your powerchair in an accessible vehicle.
Effortless manoeuvrability
The Q300 R is brimming with features made to enhance manoeuvrability around a range of terrains. Built with a kerb climber, the powerchair can travel over kerbs of up to 10 cm. The rear suspension smoothens journeys over uneven pavements by absorbing any bumps, providing a smoother ride with pebbles and kerbs. With the 63 Ah batteries, each charge conveniently offers 32 miles worth of range.
Steering in a straight line on uneven grounds is made easier with the optional Gyro Control, its system automatically makes tiny steering adjustments to move the powerchair in a straight line. The Gyro Control is a particularly beneficial feature if you are using a special control such as a chin or head controller, or have challenges in your hand-eye coordination.
Tailor adjustments to your growth
Designed to adjust to the growth of kids and teens, the Quickie Q300 R comprises highly adjustable features. Its seat width is highly adjustable from 26 to 40 cm and the seat depth ranges from 26 to 56 cm. As our legs will grow in length with age, the Q300 R is designed with footplates which can be adjusted from 48 cm below the seat pan to 16 cm above. Easily rotate the footplates for different angles and heights to optimise your foot positioning.
Optionally, a joystick mount is available to lock the joystick in three different positions. The joystick can be locked at the midline of a child, or the joystick can be swung outwards for closer access to the desk.
To suit your preference, the powerchair is available in five different shroud colours and seven accent colours ranging from bright blue to black.
