A carbon electric wheelchair light enough to lift, for much less than new

If getting a chair in and out of the car is what stops you going out, the weight of the chair matters more than anything. This pre-owned QUICKIE Q50 R Carbon from 2023 is a folding electric wheelchair, also known as a powerchair, built on a carbon fibre frame that weighs just 14.5 kg without its battery.

That makes it a realistic lift for a partner or carer, and its small lithium battery is approved for air travel, so holidays and trips away are back on the table. This chair has been fully inspected and tested.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Carbon frame, 14.5 kg without the battery
  Far lighter than most electric wheelchairs, so it's much kinder on the back and shoulders of whoever loads it into the boot.

• Folds in one movement
  No tools and nothing to take off. Folded, it fits in most car boots, a hall cupboard or the corner of a hotel room.

• Airline-approved lithium battery
  The 10Ah battery is approved for air travel, so you can take your chair abroad. Always check with your airline before you book.

• Easy to steer indoors
  An 80 cm turning radius makes shops, cafés and smaller rooms simple to get around.

• Puncture-proof tyres
  Solid tyres mean no flat tyres to worry about when you're out.

• Brakes itself when you let go
  The automatic parking brake holds you steady on slopes and when you stop to chat.

Colours available

This chair is Black (carbon fibre).

Who it suits best

• Someone else will be lifting the chair into a car
• You want to travel, including by plane
• Shopping trips, cafés and days out on smooth ground
• Users up to 136 kg (21.4 stone)

Worth knowing before you buy

This is one pre-owned chair, sold as it is. A light folding chair is made for pavements and indoor floors rather than grass or gravel, and one battery gives a modest range of about 12 km (7.5 miles), so it suits shorter outings best. It isn't crash tested, so you'll need to move into a car seat to travel. If you want longer range or more support, a heavier folding chair or a full-size electric wheelchair may suit you better.
