Quickie Xtender Wheel Assist 
Go that xtra mile!
The QUICKIE Xtender electric assist wheelchair accessory expands the range of mobility for manual wheelchair users by adding power-assisted wheels to a manual frame. The Xtender increases your travel distance and propulsion efficiency and reduces overall fatigue while allowing you to maintain the look, control, and functionality of a manual wheelchair.
Quickie Xtender Power Assist Features
|
Motorized Wheels The Xtender features motorized rear wheels that increase the force you apply to the handrims. This increases your range of mobility by reducing energy expenditure by as much as 45% and decreasing the burn of fatigue. Research has also shown that the Xtender manual power assist may help reduce or even prevent the occurrence of secondary injuries to the wrists, elbows, and shoulders including Repetitive Strain Injury. |
|
|
|
Automatic Wheel Synchronization The Xtender's electronically synchronized rear wheel units continually communicate with each other and adjust their speeds to facilitate smooth, straight propulsion. This helps overcome uneven arm strength to further increase propulsion efficiency, which may be particularly beneficial to users with hemiplegia, paraplegia, quadriplegia, or tetraplegia. |
|
Quick-Release Wheels and Easy Storage The Xtender's quick-release wheels allow you to remove the entire wheel assembly from the wheelchair. This allows for easy transitions between traditional manual and assisted propulsion. Because the Xtender is used with manual wheelchair frames, it stores and transports just like a manual wheelchair. |
|
 |
Rollback Prevention and Downhill Speed Control The user-friendly Xtender wheelchair accessory features several functions that require zero programming, including Rollback Prevention and Downhill Speed Control. During hill climbs, Rollback Prevention maximizes your efficiency and reduces fatigue. Downhill Speed Control ensures a smooth, safe descent. |

Quickie Xtender Power Assist Wheelchair Wheels Buyer’s Guide
The Quickie Xtender Power Assist Wheels combine the compact agility of a manual wheelchair with the motorized support of a power chair. Featuring motor-driven rear wheels equipped with strain-gauge sensors inside the handrims, the Xtender senses the user’s push force and multiplies it automatically, making everyday propulsion easier, faster, and far less taxing on the upper body.
Servo-Motor Push Assist Technology
Engineered with Yamaha’s proven power assist system, the Xtender continuously monitors handrim force and applies proportional motor power with every push. This smooth, instant boost reduces shoulder pain, strain, and fatigue, allowing users to ascend steep inclines, navigate thick carpets, and travel longer distances with minimal effort.
Dual Operating Modes & Customizable Settings
To suit varying environments and user physical capabilities, the Xtender offers multiple power modes:
-
Standard Mode: Balanced power output for indoor navigation and flat outdoor surfaces.
-
High-Power Mode: Increased torque and speed boost for steep hills, rough terrain, or users with lower upper-body strength.
-
Programmable Sensitivity: Dealers and therapists can adjust push force ratios, roll-back prevention, and speed thresholds to match individual user needs.
Automatic Roll-Back Prevention and Downhill Speed Control
When stopping or propelling uphill, the system’s built-in roll-back prevention keeps the wheelchair from slipping backward on slopes. During downhill travel, automatic motor braking regulates speed to prevent dangerous acceleration, offering controlled and safe descending without overheating the handrims from manual friction.
Quick-Release Power Wheels & Easy Transport
Despite housing high-efficiency motors and internal drive gears, each wheel features a quick-release axle mechanism. This allows the wheels to be detached from the wheelchair frame in seconds for easy loading into car trunks or tight storage spaces.
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Pack
Powered by a lightweight, removable NiMH battery pack mounted discreetly beneath the wheelchair seat, the Xtender offers an impressive travel range per charge. The battery charges quickly using a standard wall outlet and features an intuitive LED battery gauge right at the user's fingertips.
Quickie Xtender Power Assist Wheels Review
The Quickie Xtender Power Assist Wheels are an extraordinary mobility upgrade for manual wheelchair riders who want to maintain their independence while protecting their shoulders and arm joints. With proportional push assistance, automatic hill braking, and quick-release portability, the Xtender bridges the gap between manual freedom and power-driven performance.
