QUICKIE QS7 R Ultra-Lightweight Rigid Active Wheelchair

Responsive rigid performance with practical transport options

The QUICKIE QS7 R is an adjustable rigid active wheelchair designed for efficient propulsion, precise handling and easier everyday transport.

Building on the QUICKIE Nitrum platform, it combines a lightweight aluminium frame with extensive configuration options. Optional FrontFold™ technology folds the front frame beneath the seat, creating a more compact package for travel.

Configured for efficient propulsion

The relationship between your seating position, rear wheels and pushrims affects how your wheelchair feels to propel.

The QS7 R offers adjustment and configuration options that allow us to consider your posture, reach, balance and preferred handling together. Its rigid frame is designed to transfer your pushing effort into responsive movement.

A rigid wheelchair with optional FrontFold

The QS7 R retains a rigid frame during use. On compatible configurations, optional FrontFold allows the front section to fold beneath the seat for transport.

Combined with removable rear wheels and a folding backrest, this provides another way to manage storage and car loading. Our team can help you assess whether the option suits your vehicle, lifting technique and everyday routine.

Why buy your QUICKIE QS7 R from Unique Mobility?

An assessment focused on you

An active wheelchair should be configured around your body, your daily activities and the way you move.

We start by discussing your current wheelchair, what works well and anything you would like to improve. We consider your everyday environments, propulsion, transfers, transport arrangements and the activities that matter to you.

Our assessment considers your measurements, posture, support requirements and access to the pushrims. We use this information to recommend an appropriate frame, seating position, rear-wheel setup and accessories, balancing handling, stability and practical everyday use.

Where appropriate, we can arrange demonstrations to help you explore suitable options before agreeing your final specification. We will also explain how your choices affect weight, adjustability and ease of transport.

Specialist clinical seating and Occupational Therapy

If you have more complex postural or seating needs, we can arrange a specialist assessment with our in-house Occupational Therapist, Marion May.

Our clinical seating services can include assessment of posture, comfort and pressure management, alongside advice on cushions, backrests, positioning supports and bespoke seating where required.

Pressure mapping is also available, helping us assess how pressure is distributed across the seating surface and inform recommendations alongside the wider clinical assessment.

Specialist clinical services are arranged according to your needs, with any applicable fees explained before booking.

Local support and ongoing aftercare

We help you understand your wheelchair’s setup, adjustments and everyday care, with ongoing access to servicing, repairs and aftercare.

With teams in Exeter, Plymouth and Launceston, we support customers across Devon and Cornwall.
