Sunrise Quickie Q700M Power Wheelchair

Quickie Q700M Power Base

The Sunrise Quickie Q700M Power Wheelchair is the top mid-wheel drive performer outdoors in the Quickie powerchair range, with off-road capabilities and notably improved power and suspension compared to the Q500M. However, it is wider than the Q500M, although mid-wheel drive keeps it maneuverable and allows it to turn on the spot. It is therefore aimed at those who particularly need high-level performance outdoors, but wish to retain a good measure of maneuverability for indoor use.

An upgraded version of the renowned Jive M base, the Q700M features a unique Spidertrac 2.0 suspension that offers improved durability over its predecessor and means that the sunrise Quickie Q700M Power Wheelchair has none of the limitations outdoors that more basic mid-wheel drive powerchairs can have. Spidertrac 2.0 provides a stiffer, more responsive ride, as preferred by experienced powerchair users, with independent movement keeping all six wheels in contact with the ground. The Q700M can smoothly climb up and down curbs of up to 10 cm, and ascend gradients of up to 10°, whilst maintaining stability through the patented Quickie anti-pitch system.

Powerful 4-pole motors come as standard and are available in speeds of up to 8 mph – though we would recommend 6.5 mph for the best torque. 60 Ah Gel batteries are standard, though 80 Ah Gel batteries are a common upgrade for a range of up to 25 miles. The optional Gyro-Tracking System automatically detects and corrects small deviations from your direction, giving you an easier drive – while this is more commonly used on rear or front-wheel drive powerchairs that tend to go off-track on cambers, it remains useful on the mid-wheel drive, particularly if using special controls, or just wanting a more relaxing drive.

Quickie Q700M Seating

The highly adjustable Sedeo Pro seating system features on the Q700M, which can be set up precisely to your needs, with a wide range of support and positioning options giving you a perfect fit for outstanding comfort and support. The seating system is modular, allowing further changes to be made should your requirements change, ensuring that it will remain suitable for years to come. A large weight capacity of 25 stone, and adjustable seat widths (15 – 22 inches) and depths (16 – 22 inches) allow the Sedeo Pro seat to cater to a wide range of shapes and sizes.

The full Sedeo range of cushions and backrest options are available, and our preferred option is the Deep Contour back with flexible sides that “hug” you in place, forming your shape. For those with more clinical requirements, the full range of JAY cushions and backrests and Whitmyer headrests can be provided, as well as positioning options such as lateral supports; third-party components can also be fitted if preferred.

As you would expect from a powerchair of this level, a full range of powered positioning options can be provided, whether your requirements be clinical, comfortable, or convenient. This includes a powered seat riser to allow you to be at eye level in social situations and a powered tilt of up to 50° for pressure relief and transfers. Powered recline is also available, including an anti-shear option that helps to maintain your position and reduce friction when reclining. Recline is often paired with powered elevating and articulating leg rests – available as either a center-mount footplate or individual swing-away legrests – to achieve a relaxed lying-down position ideal for sleeping. If spending long periods of time in your Sunrise Quickie Q700M Power Wheelchair, we would strongly recommend considering the addition of powered positioning options and can demonstrate these for you during your assessment.

Fully crash-tested, the Q700M with Sedeo Pro seating is suitable for occupied transport in a suitably adapted vehicle. It also comes pre-prepared for a DAHL docking station, should you wish to drive your WAV from your powerchair.

The QUICKIE Q700M is available with three distinct seating systems: the highly featured SEDEO ERGO, the versatile SEDEO PRO, and the comfortable Captain’s Seat.
