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 adjustable SEDEO PRO seating and the most advanced controls, creates the perfect wheelchair for any adventure.

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 Outdoor 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, 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.

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.

The SEDEO PRO is very comfortable to use and enhances user independence in everyday life.

    • User-adjustable manual semi-recline backrest
    • 150° powered recline backrest with 4" shear reduction

  • The SEDEO PRO offers a full array of footrest options. You can choose a power elevating and articulating leg rest which allows for optimal positioning and comfort. Power elevating leg rests are available as center mount or individual swing-away versions. Alternatively, you can also choose a manual elevating swing-away leg rest or traditional fixed angle style in both swing-away or center mount.

Sometimes less is more. The SEDEO LITE is an adjustable seat frame that gives you a simple, sleek look. Its minimal design alleviates weight capacity concerns when using aftermarket equipment. As one of the lightest seating systems on the market, the Q400 M equipped with SEDEO LITE seating has a starting weight of 266 lbs., making it a great solution for many hitch-mounted lifts. The traditional back canes are width-adjustable from 16" to 20" and easily fit JAY back rests.

  • Effortlessly make a wide range of adjustments using just one tool! To accommodate changing requirements, seat widths can adjust between 15" and 20" and seat depth can adjust between 16" and 22".

  • Traditional back canes give the ability to easily mount a range of JAY® backrests or a height-adjustable sling back with adjustable straps. Choose from a selection of Whitmyer® or SEDEO® headrests - each are compatible whether you opt for a traditional back mount or the integrated mount with the sling. The side seat rail allows for additional mounting solutions such as transfer bars, thigh supports, and knee supports with infinite adjustment.

JAY Syncra Seating System

The JAY® Syncra™ cushion and back support system are designed to work together to maintain pelvic stability and alignment, especially during tilt and recline. This combination minimizes the risk of posterior pelvic tilt, reduces shear forces, and helps users achieve a more stable, supportive seating position.

Available covers include 4-Way Stretch and Premium Leatherette.

Syncra is exclusively available on SEDEO PRO and SEDEO PRO Advanced seating systems.

  • Lateral thoracic supports enhance lateral support beyond the back depth for riders who may lean to the side and benefit from extended stability. Available in two styles:

    • Fixed, which mounts under the backrest cover to add up to 2" of contour with broad height adjustability
    • JAY Swing-Away, allowing easy transfer access

  • The Syncra back support features a highly adjustable shell placement to optimize the rider's position. In addition, the back's customizable width and height accommodate changes in user needs over time. Finally, a scalloped bottom edge encourages optimal positioning throughout the full recline movement.

  • The Syncra cushion includes a lowered rear pelvis wall and deeper leg troughs, cradling the pelvis and thighs to improve alignment and prevent sliding. Its 4" tall, contoured design helps reduce pressure injuries by offering targeting pressure relief.

    JAY Syncra featuring CryoFluid – which comes standard on the Syncra – is the optimal seating system for power wheelchair users who have a history of pressure injuries. Learn more about Cryo Technology.

  • The Syncra removable lateral thigh supports are height, width, depth, and angle adjustable to align with the angle of the leg for optimal positioning. The quick-release lever allows for easy placement and removal which may benefit clients with limited dexterity.
