Quickie® Rhythm™ Power Wheelchair
Wheelchair Description:
The Quickie® Rhythm™ is one of the most advanced power chairs in today's marketplace. Features like 6-Form Suspension™ and Leveler™ technology forge a new frontier in power-chair suspension.
The Rhythm™ is also one of three drive-wheel base-types (front-wheel, mid-wheel, and rear-wheel) that are designed to interface with either a standard Rehab seating system or the new A.S.A.P.™ seating system. The result: a comprehensive modular approach that combines simplicity with flexibility.

| In addition to 6-form suspension, the Quickie® Rhythm™ also uses Leveler™ technology. Leveler technology dampens the forward pitching that is sometimes experienced when braking while traveling down a hill or transitioning from a ramp to a flat surface. Leveler™ technology helps ensure that the drive wheels maintains steady contact with the ground. |
| Quickie® iQ electronics takes user safety very seriously. This is why the new iQ motor controllers are programmed to keep the motors running anytime thermal rollback (or overheating) occurs. Most electronic manufacturers program their motor controllers to shut down during a thermal rollback. However, this can be dangerous if a chair is in the middle of a busy intersection. This is why our iQ motor controllers are designed to reduce power in a series of steps when a controller goes into thermal rollback. |
| For some users, transferring in and out of a power chair to a car, van, or truck seat can be difficult and time consuming. This is why The Quickie® Rhythm™ features an optional transit tie-down system. This system can be purchased with the chair or as a retro-kit at a later date |
| The Quickie® Rhythm™ features only high output 4-pole motors. For a performance chair, it is critical that power and reliability are not compromised. It is no surprise that the 4-pole motor, with its proven track record, was chosen for the job. |
| Intuitive torque is another way Quickie® iQ electronics help create the optimal ride. Intuitive torque ensures that plenty of backup power is quickly available at low speeds when chairs need a boost to clear doorstops or climb obstacles. At high speeds, this same backup power is available in smaller more controlled amounts, which prevents dangerous overcompensation that often contributes to erratic chair performance. |
| A common complaint with many power swing-away footrests is that the release levers tend to catch on doorways and other obstacles. To address this problem, Quickie® Rhythm™ footrests are designed with a flat release-lever profile. This new design also features a stout locking mechanism and steel construction. |
