Quickie Xtender Wheel Chair

The Quickie® Xtender is Quickie's latest in a continuing line of power-chair innovations. By providing a power assist to a manual chair, users can now maintain the look, control and functionality of a manual chair, without the extra effort involved in unassisted manual propulsion. The Quickie Xtender will xtend the distance you travel, xtend the efficiency of your push and xtend your transportation options.

Quickie Xtender Features:

Quick Disconnect Wheels-Similar to a quad-release axle, the Quickie® Xtender features a quick disconnect wheel/axle. By simply pulling out the hub handle, the entire motor/wheel assembly is easily removed from the chair.

Transportability -Because of its similarity to a manual wheelchair, the Quickie Xtender is easy to store and transport. Unlike a traditional power chair, the weight is spread evenly over three components: right motor/wheel, left motor/wheel, and battery.

Electronically Synchronized Wheels -The Quickie Xtender features an automatic wheel synchronization system which compensates for any arm strength imbalance the user may have. This feature makes the Xtender one of the most user friendly, quick set-up power assist systems in the market.

Lightweight Battery -A single battery weighing 6 1/4 lbs. is the only source necessary to power the Quickie Xtender. This battery has its own charger and only takes 2 - 3 hours to charge. Additional backup batteries may also be purchased.

The Quickie Xtender is available in two versions. The first version increases the force applied to the handrims by a factor of 1.5. The second version increases the force applied by a factor of 3. This added assistance can decrease the user’s energy expenditure by as much as 45%.

Unlike traditional power chairs, whose batteries alone can weigh up to 100 lbs., the total additional weight of the Quickie Xtender is only 37 lbs. The overall weight is divided into three components, the heaviest of which is only 17.5 lbs.

The Quickie Xtender is designed to maximize control. When the chair is brought to a stop, the wheels will not activate in the reverse direction.

The Quickie Xtender is available on both the Quickie 2 and Quickie 2HP model chairs. These are the two of the most popular Quickie models. Both feature a wide array of options and accessories.

In addition to providing a power assist going up hills, the motor/gearing also acts as a break when traveling downhill. This feature ensures the safety of the power-assist operation.

In contrast to systems that attach a single battery to each wheel, the Quickie Xtender uses only one battery. This eliminates the problem of uneven battery life often associated with a two-battery system.
