The Evolution of Mid-Wheel Drive Performance

The new QUICKIE Q500 M base balances superb indoor maneuverability with outstanding performance and head-turning style. All of these combined with the benefits of the highly configurable SEDEO PRO seating and the most advanced controls, creates the perfect wheelchair for any adventure. All Q500 M bases come with Occupied Transit tie-down brackets as standard, no charge.

Keeping you safely on-track

The optional SureTrac® System automatically detects and corrects the smallest deviation from your input direction. By providing a pinpoint-accurate drive, it'll reduce the number of physical or cognitive actions required to keep your power wheelchair on-track, making for a less-demanding drive (especially if using special controls).

With ultra-reliable high-torque 4-pole motors powering at 6 mph and Group 34 batteries to maximize your range, you can always travel in confidence with the Q500 M SEDEO PRO.

Superb Indoor Agility

Turning on its own axis, enjoy intuitive driving and excellent maneuverability in tight, compact spaces with its narrow 24" width and a 18.5" turning radius. Easily transfer in and out & effortlessly access vehicles and under tables with the lower than ever seat-to-floor height (from 16.5").

Outstanding Performance

Enjoy a smooth and stable ride, even over uneven terrain, with QUICKIE's patented all-wheel suspension – six independently suspended wheels give you the smooth ride you're looking for. The Q500 M has 3" of ground clearance and the best traction even when ascending gradients of up to 7°.

The Evolution of Mid-Wheel Drive Performance

QUICKIE Motor Technology

Our robust motor technology can't be easily duplicated anywhere else. That's because we've spent years working closely with our manufacturer to develop a longer-lasting, highly efficient motor with improved performance, drivability, and range.

Engineered for optimal driving performance

Quickie Motor Technology

We know that more time is spent maneuvering around a home and workplace versus traveling long distances. That's why we've designed our motors to give you the control you need in small spaces without sacrificing the power you want to tackle obstacles. Plus, you'll be able to drive 10% further on the same battery capacity. Similar to a car driving on the highway versus in the city, don't sacrifice performance in places where it's needed the most.

Reduced thermal rollback

Cooling fins

The larger fins found on our motors aren't just a stylish design feature. Larger cooling fins enable heat to escape more effectively, reducing your risk of thermal rollback so you can drive 25% further and faster when combined with the additional boost, even when on an incline or faced with uneven surfaces.

Equipped with 10 seconds of power boost

Power Boost

Overcoming obstacles like steeper inclines and even door jambs gets easier with our controller and motor combination. These two systems work together to provide you with an additional 10 seconds of boost for that extra power whenever you need it.

Designed to last

Metal gears

Unlike some of our competitors, QUICKIE motors feature metal gears instead of plastic. Polished for low noise and high efficiency, our all-metal gears exceed expectations in tough conditions. We go the extra step in polishing those gears because we believe that a little extra effort goes a long way in creating a better ride.

QUICKIE Motor Technology continually exceeds rigorous testing standards. With a proven 99% success rate, your ride will be unlike any other. QUICKIE 4-pole motors generate 18% more power than previous generations.

LUCI Smart Technology

LUCI prevents tips, collisions, and falls before they happen, so we can see a curb for what it really is: just a harmless little piece of concrete separating the sidewalk from the street. Available as an optional add-on for SEDEO PRO seating.

C-Me Seat Elevation

No more waiting around or driving at reduced speed when elevated. C-Me® enables you to elevate up to 12" while traveling up to 3 mph (weight limitations may apply). You can lift or descend at the touch of a button with no need to stop while transitioning. Just rise up and go at the same time!

Our power wheelchairs are designed with style for long-lasting performance. Unlike some of our competitors, our suspension doesn't lock out when you drive with C-Me, giving you a smooth and comfortable ride from start to finish. You'll never have to compromise dependability for accessibility again.

C-Me available on SEDEO PRO and SEDEO LITE seating systems.
