Sunrise Medical has launched its lightest folding power wheelchair, the QUICKIE Q50 R Carbon. The ultralightweight portable chair is designed for ambulatory wheelchair users and for full-time wheelchair users who want a travel-friendly power chair option.

The QUICKIE Q50 R Carbon includes a carbon fiber frame, magnesium wheels and motors, and breathable upholstery, all for a total transport weight of 32 pounds. When folded, it has a footprint of 30.2 inches long, 22.4 inches wide and 14.6 inches tall — small enough to fit in the trunk of a Toyota Camry. The Q50 R Carbon reaches a top speed of 3.7 mph and a maximum range of 7.5 miles, or 15 miles with the optional second battery. It is powered by airline-approved lithium-ion batteries.

The Q50 R Carbon also comes standard with rear running lights, storage for a second battery, and a transport strap.

“The Q50 R Carbon is ideal for so many people who want to be more independent and travel further,” says Jeff Rogers, director of power product management at Sunrise Medical. “This chair is a great alternative to a scooter, as it is easier to transport, more maneuverable and simpler to stow. It is also a great second chair for some manual chair riders who would like the power to go further and some power chair riders who want a chair that is easier for travel.”

The Q50 R Carbon is available in five colors and starts at $3,595. For more information, visit Sunrise Medical.
