Description
QUICKIE Q100 R uses an innovative testing method called SMART base technology. This helped Sunrise to understand how geometry changes to a drive base can affect performance, creating a precision-measured TRUE indoor/outdoor powerchair.
From SMART base development the Q100 R powerchair boasts an ultra-small footprint of 540 mm wide and 1010 mm long, with a tiny 1600 mm turning circle, so navigating even the tightest of spaces is a breeze.
SMART Base Technology
All indoor/outdoor powered wheelchairs face the same problem… Sunrise solved it with SMART BASE Technology.
Sunrise’s vision was to create a TRUE indoor/outdoor powerchair with super-tight indoor manoeuvrability and no compromises on outdoor stability and performance. But how do you design such a finely-balanced powerchair?
A large drive-base means difficulty when manoeuvring in tight environments. Too small and it becomes tippy with a loss of traction. With SMART Base Technology Sunrise were able to test 100‘s of configurations to find the perfect combination.
The result is the QUICKIE SALSA Q100 R. A legitimately compact entry-level powerchair that delivers the very-best traction, stability and even the ability to climb kerbs of up to 100 mm (4“).
So narrow-minded
Fed up of clipping the side of your powered wheelchair or scratching the paint work when squeezing through a tight doorway? The Q100 R‘s ultra-slim base width of 540 mm can go where other indoor/outdoor powerchairs won‘t fit – so even negotiating narrow paths or packed tables at your favourite cafe will be a breeze.
Never an up-hill-struggle
Indoor/outdoor powerchairs don‘t traditionally cope well with steep gradients – a problem Sunrise solved with SMART Base Technology. Precision-testing determined that a 1010 mm base-length provides the best stability to prevent tipping and keep you safe – even when travelling up hills of 6 degrees.
SMART base technology helped to calculate not only the dimensions for a compact base, but also the ideal seated position for maximising traction between the drive-wheel and the ground. Combined with the Q100 R drive-wheel suspension, you‘ll enjoy the kind of safe, smooth and responsive ride that‘s normally expected from a larger powerchair.
Don‘t let kerbs get in the way
Need a little assistance climbing obstacles? The Q100 R’s low-impact kerb climber will tackle kerbs of up-to 100 mm (4“) at low-speed and even from a standing-start (so your seated position will be maintained whilst transitioning up the kerb).
The power to get you there
Powered by punchy 55Ah batteries, the Q100 R electric wheelchair loves a spin around town and longer city trips. With the stamina to go up to 31 km (19 miles) on a single charge, you‘ll have plenty of time to stop-off for other adventures along the way.
a compact package for easy transportation
The Q100 R powerchair weighs a trim 95 kg, so can be hoisted in and out of your vehicle with ease. Worried about space? With a fully fold-down back and removable legrests/armrests, it‘ll fit snugly in most cars or nicely store away at home.
READY TO ROAM
Primed for public transport, the intuitive Q100 R powered wheelchair is so compact and manouverable, getting on-and-off trams, buses and trains is a breeze. Prefer to travel by car? The Q100 R can be compactly stored in the boot or used as a seat whilst travelling.
Sit back and relax
The SALSA Q100 R‘s seating has been designed to fit you. With plenty of settings and a 5-strap tension adjustable back to meet postural requirements, take comfort in knowing that if your needs change, so can your seat.
Seat adjustments include:
- Seat depth from 405 – 510 mm
- Backrest angle from 0, 4, 8 and 12 degrees
