FreeFold – Over 40% of energy is saved with every fold.
Easy to fold and stays folded – thanks to the innovative FreeFold feature. FreeFold stands for sophisticated and precise engineering of the folding geometry, resulting in particularly little force when folding and unfolding. The wheel camber does not change during folding, and the folded wheelchair stands solidly on the ground, which is a real benefit if you frequently fold and transport your QS5 X.
Lightweight
Easy propelling and lifting with the featherweight QS5 X.
Unrivalled lightweight – A remarkably low transport weight from 7.3 kg for the Fixed Front and 7.5 kg for the Swing Away frame! The QS5 X, as the lightest aluminium folding box frame on the market, is comfortable to lift and transport and effortless to self-propel to increase the rider’s energy efficiency. The material and construction make all the difference – strong doesn‘t always have to mean heavy. The frame of the QS5 X is made of high-grade 7000 series aluminium, designed for an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio. It is used in many aerospace applications where strength, durability and weight are essential.
Frame Versions
Fixed-Front or Swing-Away?
The QS5 X has two different frame versions – Fixed-Front and Swing-Away.
The Fixed-Front version has footrests permanently attached to the chair frame, providing additional stability and support. This feature can be particularly beneficial for people with higher positioning demands, as it helps to keep the legs in an ideal position.
The Swing-Away version has footrests that can be swung away to the side, which enables a safe and comfortable transfer into the chair, especially from a standing position. Removing the footrest makes it possible to position the wheelchair closer to the object you want to transfer. Furthermore, the pack size of the wheelchair will be minimised.
Smart Options
Bright removable LED lights.
In many situations, it’s good to have your light – if you need to go to the bathroom at night and don’t want to illuminate the whole apartment or if you’re on your way home in the evening and need to see obstacles that could throw you off balance. The QS5 X’s LED lights are a great solution! Discreetly integrated into the overall design of your QS5 X and removable for charging, the LED lights provide a great feature to light your way when you need them!
