Description
The Sunrise Medical Quickie QS5 X Manual Wheelchair redefines folding wheelchair performance through advanced FreeFold technology – an innovative folding geometry that lowers resistance during folding and unfolding. This makes everyday handling easier, especially when storing or lifting the chair into a vehicle.
Made from heat-treated 7000-series aluminium, the oval-tubed frame and cross-brace deliver exceptional rigidity with minimal flex. At just 7.3 kg transport weight (fixed-front version), it’s the lightest aluminium folding box frame in its class.
The Quickie QS5 X is available in both fixed front and swing-away frame versions. Fixed front provides stability and support, while the swing-away option enhances transfers and reduces pack size. Additional comfort features include ergonomic touch points for lifting, a redesigned knee lever wheel lock for reduced hand strength, and optional removable LED lighting for visibility.
The chair’s castor system is fully adjustable to maintain straight tracking and reduce energy loss. Multiple personalisation options allow the frame, handrims, upholstery and anodised components to reflect each rider’s unique style.
