The Quantum R-Trak is a rear-wheel drive powerchair designed for people who want confident outdoor performance without losing comfort. Its four-wheel suspension system works independently at each wheel, smoothing out uneven ground and reducing vibration through the seat. In practice, this makes longer journeys more comfortable, particularly on pavements, slopes and rougher surfaces.
As a rear-wheel drive chair, the R-Trak behaves predictably when climbing inclines or travelling across uneven terrain. Weight naturally transfers onto the rear tyres when going uphill, improving traction and stability. Anti-tip wheels add reassurance without interfering with normal driving. The R-Trak offers a real-world travel range of around 16 miles per charge, making it suitable for extended outdoor use rather than short, local trips only.
Seating is built around Quantum’s Tru-Balance 3 system, which can be specified in manual or powered configurations. Powered seating options include tilt in space and recline, along with powered seat elevation of up to around 10 inches. This elevation function can make everyday tasks easier, particularly for users with reduced shoulder strength who benefit from bringing objects closer rather than reaching upward. Tilt in space of up to 50 degrees also supports pressure management and comfort during longer periods seated.
Leg support can be configured to suit comfort and circulation needs, with extended legrests allowing a more relaxed knee angle. Powered elevating legrests are available for those who benefit from passive leg movement or easier repositioning.
The R-Trak is available in a wide range of sizes, with seat width and depth adjustable from 12 to 22 inches. Backrest height can be set between 14 and 29 inches, with widths up to 24 inches, allowing the seating to be matched closely to body shape and support needs. Tyre choice can be tailored too, with solid or pneumatic options depending on priorities around comfort, maintenance and terrain.
Visually, the R-Trak leans towards a modern, customisable look rather than a purely clinical one, with a wide choice of colour options available.
Overall, the R-Trak suits people who spend meaningful time outdoors, want strong hill-climbing ability, and value a stable, confidence-inspiring drive. It is less focused on ultra-tight indoor manoeuvring than mid-wheel drive chairs, but in return offers a reassuring, capable feel when travelling further afield.
