Steady, capable rear-wheel drive for people who live life outdoors

If your days include steep driveways, village hills, kerbs and long walks with the dog, you need a chair that feels planted and doesn't struggle. The QUICKIE Q500 R SEDEO PRO is a rear-wheel drive electric wheelchair, also known as a powerchair, that handles slopes up to 10° and climbs kerbs up to 8 cm without help.

It pairs that outdoor ability with SEDEO PRO seating that can be finely adjusted to your body, so you stay comfortable and well supported on long days out — and still have a chair that feels natural and predictable to drive.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Handles slopes up to 10°
  Steeper hills and ramps that would worry other chairs are well within its ability, so you can choose your route rather than avoid it.

• Climbs kerbs up to 8 cm (10 cm with kerb climber)
  Less hunting for dropped kerbs, and more freedom to go where you want.

• Rear-wheel drive with 4-pole motors
  Tracks straight and feels stable at speed, with strong pulling power on inclines and grass paths.

• SEDEO PRO seating
  Seat width, depth and height adjust with a single tool, and the back reclines from 90° to 150°, so you can sit well and rest when you need to.

• Up to 40 km (25 miles) range
  With the larger batteries, a long day out is comfortably covered.

• Speed options up to 13 km/h (8 mph)
  Keep pace with family on foot or bike, or set it slower if you prefer.

• Adjustable suspension
  Linked drive wheels resist pulling on cambered pavements, and the springs can be set firmer or softer.

• Advanced controls, lights and indicators
  R-Net HD display, optional Bluetooth and alternative controls, with full lighting for safety after dark.

Who it suits best

• Outdoor users with hills, slopes or rural paths near home
• People who want supportive, adjustable seating
• Users up to 159 kg (25 stone)

Worth knowing before you buy

Rear-wheel drive needs more space to turn — the Q500 R's turning radius is 95 cm — so in a small home with tight corners, the mid-wheel drive Q500 M is usually easier. It weighs from around 130 kg and doesn't fold, so it travels in an adapted vehicle. An assessment will help make sure it suits both your home and your outdoor plans.
