Q100r

Smart base technology
All indoor/outdoor powered wheelchairs face the same problem… We solved it with SMART BASE Technology. Our vision was to create a TRUE indoor/outdoor powerchair with super-tight indoor manoeuvrability and no compromises on outdoor stability and performance. But how do you design such a finely-balanced powerchair? A large drive-base means difficulty when manoeuvring in tight environments. Too small and it becomes tippy with a loss of traction. With SMART Base Technology we were able to test 100‘s of configurations to find the perfect combination.

The result is the QUICKIE SALSA Q100 R. A legitimately compact entry-level powerchair that delivers the very-best traction, stability and even the ability to climb kerbs of up to 100 mm (4“)

designed to be in your space
Whether it‘s around the home, the local cafe or shopping mall, the SALSA Q100 R is in-touch with its environment inside and out. With an ultra-slim base and tiny turning circle, even the smallest place will feel big.

so narrow-minded
Fed up of clipping the side of your powered wheelchair or scratching the paint work when squeezing through a tight doorway? The Q100 R‘s ultra-slim base width of 540 mm can go where other indoor/outdoor powerchairs won‘t fit – so even negotiating narrow paths or packed tables at your favourite cafe will be a breeze.

go where other powerchairs can‘t
Precision-measured in length, at just 1010 mm long, the Q100 R will conveniently fit in-and-out of through floor lifts and other short spaces without the traditional sacrifice of stability.

turn wherever you go
Get out of any tight-spots with the Q100 R and its ultra-compact turning circle. Effortlessly turn in narrow hallways, kitchens and other restricted spaces without the need for complicated manoeuvres.

access all areas
The leg rests and controller can also swing outwards, so the Q100 R can get even closer to objects like tables and chairs for an easier transfer in-or-out of your powerchair.

the small powerchair that’s big on going out
Popping out? The SALSA Q100 R‘s indoor capabilities are just as at home outdoors. Painstakingly researched, its compact dimensions provide highly-deceptive traction and stability over a variety of terrains, hills and even when tackling kerbs.

never an up-hill-struggle
Indoor/outdoor powerchairs don‘t traditionally cope well with steep gradients – a problem we solved with SMART Base Technology. Precision-testing determined that a 1010 mm base-length provides the best stability to prevent tipping and keep you safe – even when travelling up hills of 6 degrees.

SMART base technology helped to calculate not only the dimensions for a compact base, but also the ideal seated position for maximising traction between the drive-wheel and the ground. Combined with the Q100 R drive-wheel suspension, you‘ll enjoy the kind of safe, smooth and responsive ride that‘s normally expected from a larger powerchair.
