What makes the Q400 M different from other mid-wheel drive powerchairs?
It's built to balance great outdoor manoeuvrability with very good indoor performance, combining a narrow 620mm base, a compact 112cm turning circle, and six-wheel suspension for a smooth, stable ride in any environment.
How manoeuvrable is it indoors?
Very. It turns on its own axis for excellent manoeuvrability in tight spaces, and its low seat height (from just 415mm) lets you easily sit under tables and access Wheelchair Adaptive Vehicles (WAVs).
How does the suspension improve the ride?
QUICKIE's patented all-wheel suspension uses six independently suspended wheels to absorb bumps, even over rough terrain, while anti-pitch technology eliminates pitching on slopes and keeps your weight positioned directly above the drive wheel for maximum traction and safety.
How fast does it go, and how far can it travel?
Choose 6 kph as standard, or upgrade to 10 kph (low torque) for greater performance. With a choice of 50 Ah, 60 Ah, or 80 Ah batteries, you can reach a maximum range of up to 40 km.
What seating system does it use?
The SEDEO LITE seating system, featuring a height-adjustable sling back with adjustable straps, plus a range of optional comfort cushions — including two seat cushions and four back cushions in different contours for better comfort and positioning.
Can the seat be adjusted to fit me as my needs change?
Yes. With one-tool adjustment, seat width can be altered between 15 and 22 inches and seat depth between 16 and 22 inches — all without special tools or requests.
What if I have more complex seating needs?
SEDEO LITE is compatible with JAY cushions and backs for higher clinical needs, and Sunrise Medical's Built-4-Me department can create a fully bespoke solution for truly individual requirements.
What controller options are available?
Choose between the reliable VR2 control or the superior R-Net advanced joystick, both featuring a large, easy-to-read HD display and simple paddle switches for intuitive operation.
Can I control other devices from my wheelchair?
Yes. The CONNECT feature uses integrated Infra Red functionality to control your TV and home entertainment systems, while Bluetooth & iDrive lets you control your phone, computer, tablet, and other devices — up to four at once.
What are QUICKIE's assignable buttons?
A patented feature letting you reprogram any joystick button to any command you choose, including a second "long press" function — giving quicker, simpler access to your most-used functions.
Is a flexible backrest option available?
Yes. The SEDEO flexible back wraps around and contours to your spine for complete contact and stability, with independently adjustable laterals that mould to your anatomy — helping even those with moderate-to-severe kyphotic postures or spinal scoliosis sit more upright without sacrificing comfort.
What if a traditional joystick isn't right for me?
The Q400 M SEDEO LITE supports a wide range of Switch-It alternative drive controls, including compact and mini-proportional joysticks, head controls, chin boom mounting systems, and the CTRL+5 voice-activated switch.
How much does the Q400 M cost?
Pricing starts from £6,850 for a standard configuration. This price doesn't include additional extras, which vary based on your specific setup — contact your local authorised dealer for a detailed quote.
