A slim, simple electric wheelchair for getting round home and town

If doorways, hallways and shop aisles make a bulky chair hard work, you need something narrow that's still comfortable outside. The QUICKIE Q100 R is a compact rear-wheel drive electric wheelchair, also known as a powerchair, just 54 cm wide, so it slips through standard doors and between furniture.

It's easy to drive, quick to adjust and comfortable for everyday trips — to the shops, a friend's house or around the garden. It's a straightforward, dependable chair for people who want independence without complicated extras.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Only 54 cm wide
  Fits through narrow internal doors and tight hallways, so you can use every room of your home without scraping the frame.

• Up to 18 miles on a charge
  Two 55Ah batteries give enough range for a busy day out and back, without range worries.

• Easy joystick control
  Smooth, programmable VR2 controls, with automatic parking brakes so the chair stays put when you stop.

• Swing-away legrests and removable armrests
  Move out of the way for safer, easier side transfers into bed, a chair or the car.

• Adjustable seat and reclining backrest
  Seat depth, seat tilt and four backrest angles can be set so you sit comfortably and well supported.

  Takes the edge off bumps and thresholds for a more comfortable ride.

Worth knowing before you buy

The Q100 R is built for everyday use rather than rough ground, and it isn't designed for steep hills or grass. Its maximum user weight is 125 kg; if you need more, the Q200 R is a sturdier option. The backrest folds down and parts come off for transport, but with batteries it's still a heavy chair, so it's not a car-boot chair for most people — a lightweight folding electric wheelchair is better for that.
