Background
This chair was made for children starting at the age of twelve and ranging to young adults. Its purpose is to provide a stable frame while also being lightweight. However, this chair is discontinued and can no longer be bought by the manufacturer. Some similar models are the Quickie QRi, Quickie GP, and the 5R. This wheelchair, in particular, has a titanium frame, spoke drive wheel with pneumatic tires, anti-tippers, and push-to-lock wheel locks.
The Quickie was established in 1979 by Marilyn Hamilton, Jim Okamoto, and Don Helman. It provided color changes to the wheelchair community, as well as lighter weight and increased performance. The Quickie Ti was launched in October 2003. The Quickie Ti was discontinued for low purchases, and there were more modern wheelchairs being produced.
This chair has no transit, meaning it's not meant for easy transportation. It is also important to know that users must have good head and trunk control.
There is a chance to still find this wheelchair through previous users. However, it can no longer be found on professional websites.
Disclaimer: The chair image attached above is another version of a Quickie that is still available.
