Quantum Rehab has released the R-Trak, its first new rear-wheel-drive power wheelchair in over 10 years.
Quantum designed the R-Trak to be capable of handling the outdoors while being small enough to fit in tight indoor spaces. It comes standard with Smooth Ride Suspension, which the company says provides added stability going over obstacles and when using the optional seat elevator. Integrated LED lights in caster arms and fenders are designed to add safety and visibility. The base of the R-Trak measures 24.2 inches wide. The chair has maximum range of 16 miles and top speed of 7 mph, or 3.5 mph when using the seat elevator function.
There are many options for customizing the R-Trak, including three different seating systems to address your tilt, recline and seat elevation needs. You can choose from two customizable drive controller systems. The Quantum Backup Camera can be added for use during the day and night. The R-Trak comes in 14 colors and you can mix and match for the base and the drive wheels.
The R-Trak is available for order now and covered by most insurance plans. For more information, visit Quantum Rehab.

The Permobil SmartDrive mounted on a manual chair makes a lot more sense, and it not nearly as costly.
The question is whether the quality is better? I personally would never buy a Quantum after my experiences. Most unreliable chairs I have ever owned. I do like rear wheel drive though.
