QUICKIE QS5 X Lightweight Folding Wheelchair

The QUICKIE QS5 X is an ultra-lightweight folding manual wheelchair designed for active users who need strength, easy handling and everyday practicality. Its innovative FreeFold cross-brace design reduces folding effort. As a result, it is easier to fold, lift, store and transport.

Built from high-grade 7000-series aluminium, the QS5 X offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining a responsive ride. The ovalised tubing and 4-arm cross-brace improve rigidity, giving the chair a stable, efficient feel when self-propelling.

Available in fixed-front and swing-away frame versions, the QUICKIE QS5 X can be configured to suit your transfer needs, posture, lifestyle, and preferred setup. The fixed-front option provides a more rigid feel and stable foot positioning. In contrast, the swing-away version allows easier side transfers and a more compact folded size.

At Recare, we can help you choose the right frame, seat size, wheel options, castors, backrest, colours and accessories to suit your daily routine.

Manual Wheelchair Maintenance

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.

Daily Checks

Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.

Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.

Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.

Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.

Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.

Weekly Checks

Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.

Check the tension of the seat upholstery.
- It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.

Tyre Pressure Adjustment

Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools.

Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.

Monthly Checks

Inspect the wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.

Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.
