QUICKIE Xtender Wheel Add-On: Expand Your Mobility with Power Assisted Wheels

The Quickie® Xtender™ enhances the mobility of manual wheelchair users by integrating power-assisted wheels into your existing manual frame. This innovative add-on increases travel distance, improves propulsion efficiency, and reduces fatigue, while maintaining the look and control of a manual wheelchair.

Key Features:

Motorised Wheels: Developed by Quickie and Yamaha, the Xtender features motorised rear wheels that amplify your handrim force by up to 4 times. This boosts your mobility range and reduces energy expenditure by up to 45%, helping to alleviate fatigue.

Reduced Risk of Injury: Research indicates that the Xtender can help reduce or prevent secondary injuries to the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, including Repetitive Strain Injury, by minimising the physical strain associated with manual propulsion.

Automatic Wheel Synchronisation: The Xtender’s electronically synchronised rear wheel units communicate and adjust speeds for smooth, straight propulsion. This feature enhances propulsion efficiency and is particularly beneficial for users with uneven arm strength, such as those with hemiplegia, paraplegia, quadriplegia, or tetraplegia.

Quick-Release Wheels: The Xtender’s quick-release mechanism allows you to easily detach the motor/wheel assembly from your chair, facilitating transitions between manual and powered propulsion. It stores and transports just like a manual wheelchair.

Rollback Prevention and Downhill Speed Control: The Xtender includes user-friendly features like Rollback Prevention and Downhill Speed Control, requiring no programming. Rollback Prevention enhances efficiency during hill climbs, while Downhill Speed Control ensures a safe and smooth descent.

Range of Modes and Models: The Xtender is available in three modes—Single Mode, Bi Mode, and Sports Mode—to cater to individual needs. Check the brochure for detailed information on mode and model compatibility.

Compatibility: The Xtender’s auto-engage wheel hub is compatible with a wide range of Sunrise Medical lightweight wheelchairs, including the Quickie Nitrum, Quickie 2 Series, GP Series, Zippie X’Cape, Breezy BasiX, Quickie 5R, Quickie 7R, and Xenon2. Other models may be available upon application.

Enhance your manual wheelchair with the Quickie Xtender for greater mobility, reduced effort, and increased comfort in your daily activities.
