Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Q1450 suit you?
The Q1450 is a heavy-duty powerchair base from Quantum, designed for larger riders who want a chair that copes outdoors and still gets around the house. It is built to bariatric strength, runs on two 70 Ah batteries for up to 12.2 miles, and travels at up to 4 mph on puncture-proof tyres. Seating and electronics are chosen from a full rehab range, so the chair is built to fit the person.
It begins with an assessment at a showroom, where we plan the seat and controls around you. Call ahead so a suitable chair is ready to try.

The Q1450 in detail
Strength first, agility close behind. Quantum's Q1450 is a bariatric power base with front-wheel drive, made to give bigger riders proper outdoor ability without losing the knack of turning in tight spaces.
What you get
- A reinforced bariatric base designed for heavier riders

- Top speed of 4 mph

Seating and controls chosen for you
The Q1450 is a base, not a finished chair off a shelf. It accepts the full Quantum catalogue of rehab seats and electronic controls, so seat size, support and the style of control are all picked to suit the rider. That work is done at a free assessment, where we measure, talk through daily routines and try different set-ups.
Looked after locally
A chair like this earns its keep every day, so support matters. Our North West showrooms have their own engineers, who look after the 12-month warranty and can service the chair in store or at your home.
