Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Q50R Carbon suit you?
Sunrise Medical's Q50 R Carbon is a folding powerchair for people on the move. Its carbon fibre frame weighs 14.5 kg without its lithium battery, and it folds in seconds with the battery still fitted. Folded, it measures 37 x 57 x 76.7 cm, small enough for the boot of a small car, a train or a bus. It is rear-wheel drive, and a second battery can be added to stretch the range to 24 km.
Come and try the controls and the turning indoors, fold it yourself and lift it into your own car. Call ahead so the model is ready to try.

Travel and storage
This is a chair for holidays, family visits and the daily commute. Folded, it suits the boot of a small car and can go with you by train or bus. At home it tucks into a narrow gap beside a wardrobe or behind a door. Accent colours give it a smart, modern look.
Trying it properly
Weight on paper is one thing. Lifting the chair into your own boot is the real test, and we encourage you to do exactly that at one of our North West showrooms. Afterwards, the 12-month warranty is looked after by our own engineers.

Questions people ask us in the shop
Will it fit in my car?
Bring the car to any showroom and we will try it in the boot with you. We take it apart or fold it together, so you can see how it goes in and feel what each piece weighs before you decide.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. Just walk in to any of our 9 North West showrooms, or call first and we will have this model ready for you. If you cannot get to us and you live in the North West, we will bring it to your home for a free demonstration.
What happens if it breaks down?
It comes with a 12-month warranty, looked after by our own engineers. For a warranty repair we collect it and bring it back free of charge across mainland UK. After that, we service and repair at any showroom or at your home.
Can I part exchange my old one?
Yes. Bring your old scooter or powerchair to any showroom and we will value it there and then, with up to £400 off your new one. We can also give a price by phone, confirmed when we see it.
Do I have to pay VAT?
Not if the person it is for has a long-term illness or disability and it is for their own personal use. The price shown already has VAT relief applied. You confirm that you qualify once, with a short declaration in your cart. There is nothing to send to HMRC.
Can I get it on the Motability Scheme?
Yes, this model is available through the Scheme. If you receive a qualifying mobility allowance you can use it to lease this instead of buying, with insurance, servicing and breakdown cover included. Sign up in any showroom or call us.
How will it be delivered?
Most people choose engineer delivery for £79: it arrives inspected and assembled, with a full demonstration, and we take the packaging away. Free courier delivery to the kerbside is also available.
