Extra product information

FRAME
The Quickie Q7 has a rigid, lightweight aluminium frame. ShapeLoc Technology has been used to convert the lightweight "7000 Series" aluminium frame into a stronger, more rigid T6 aluminium by heat treating the aluminium. Oval tubing is used in the frame, axle plate and caster housing to prevent bending and rotation. Its vertical strength decreases frame flex and increases overall rigidity. Two different frame types are available; Adjustable frame or Active Rigid frame. It is available in twenty frame colours. Rear anti tip bars are available.

Crash Test Approved.
