Sunrise Medical Power Wheelchairs FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What power wheelchairs does Sunrise Medical make?

Sunrise Medical's powered lineup at Living Spinal includes the Quickie Q50-R Carbon folding power wheelchair, the Extreme X8 4×4 all-terrain power wheelchair, and the Empulse R90 power assist that motorizes a manual chair.

What is the Quickie Q50-R Carbon?

The Quickie Q50-R Carbon is a lightweight carbon-fiber folding power wheelchair by Sunrise Medical. Its low weight and compact fold make it well suited to travel and transport without sacrificing everyday performance.

What is the Extreme X8 power wheelchair?

The Extreme X8 is a 4×4 all-terrain power wheelchair by Sunrise Medical, engineered to handle grass, gravel, sand, and hills for users who want to get outdoors and off the pavement.

What is the Empulse R90?

The Empulse R90 is a rear-attaching power assist by Sunrise Medical. It adds motorized power to a manual wheelchair so you can travel longer distances, climb ramps more easily, and reduce shoulder strain — power mobility without a full power chair.

Is Quickie a Sunrise Medical brand?

Yes. Sunrise Medical builds its power wheelchairs under the Quickie name, including the Q50-R Carbon featured here. Quickie is known for responsive drive performance and dependable engineering.

Are Sunrise Medical power wheelchairs good for outdoor use?

What is a folding power wheelchair?

A folding power wheelchair collapses for transport and storage. The Quickie Q50-R Carbon uses a lightweight carbon-fiber frame so it folds down and stays light enough to lift into a vehicle.
