The Quickie Xtender enhances mobility by integrating power-assisted wheels into a manual wheelchair frame, maintaining full control, functionality, and a sleek design.
Developed in collaboration with Quickie and Yamaha, the Xtender increases handrim force by four times, reducing energy expenditure by up to 45% and minimising fatigue while expanding travel distance.
With electronically synchronised rear wheels, the Xtender ensures smooth, straight propulsion, improving efficiency and comfort, particularly for users with hemiplegia, paraplegia, quadriplegia, or tetraplegia.
KEY FEATURES
Motorised Power Assist: The rear wheels amplify applied force by 4x, increasing mobility range while reducing strain on the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, helping to prevent repetitive strain injuries.
Automatic Wheel Synchronisation: Electronically synchronised wheels continuously adjust speeds to ensure smooth, effortless propulsion, compensating for uneven arm strength.
Rollback Prevention & Downhill Speed Control: No programming required. Rollback Prevention enhances control on inclines, while Downhill Speed Control provides a safe, controlled descent.
Quick-Release Wheels for Easy Storage: The motor/wheel assembly can be quickly removed, allowing easy transitions between manual and powered propulsion. Compatible with manual wheelchair frames, the Xtender stores and transports just like a manual wheelchair.
