Xtender Power Assist

The Quickie® Xtender® is an electric assist accessory designed to enhance manual wheelchairs by adding power-assisted wheels. This integration amplifies the user's propulsion force, enabling extended travel distances, improved propulsion efficiency, and reduced overall fatigue, all while preserving the appearance and control of a manual wheelchair. Why We Like It The Xtender® significantly enhances mobility by increasing the force applied to the handrims, potentially reducing energy expenditure by up to 45%. This reduction in effort can decrease fatigue and may help prevent secondary injuries to the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, such as Repetitive Strain Injury. Its quick-release wheels facilitate easy transitions between manual and assisted propulsion, and features like rollback prevention and downhill speed control enhance user safety and confidence. What Makes It Different The Xtender®'s motorized rear wheels amplify the user's push force, enhancing mobility range and efficiency. Electronically synchronized rear wheels adjust their speeds to ensure smooth, straight propulsion, accommodating users with uneven arm strength. The design allows for effortless removal of the motor/wheel assembly, simplifying transitions between manual and assisted modes and facilitating storage and transport to a standard manual wheelchair. NOTE : QUICKIE Xtender is compatible with QUICKIE 2, 5R, GP Series, Nitrum, and ZIPPIE X'CAPE & QUICKIE QRi through Built-4-Me.
