Different environments call for different features — from tight indoor manoeuvring to rugged outdoor performance or lightweight travel portability.

At Quantum Rehab®, every model is designed with a specific purpose in mind — built for the environment you live, work, and explore in. Below is a quick guide to help you decide which power chair best suits your lifestyle and clinical needs.

Indoor Use: Compact and Precise

For indoor environments — including apartments, offices, or clinical settings — you’ll need a chair that’s narrow, responsive, and highly manoeuvrable.

For indoor environments, a compact power chair with a small turning radius like the Edge 3 Stretto is ideal.

Recommended Model: Edge 3 Stretto

• Width: As narrow as 52 cm — fits through standard doorways
• Turning Radius: 53 cm for smooth cornering in tight spaces
• Drive Type: Mid-wheel drive for stability and intuitive control
• Features: Optional iLevel® seat elevation for social reach at standing height

The Edge 3 Stretto is perfect for home, work, or classroom use — compact yet powerful, with advanced seating and electronics for personalised comfort.

Outdoor Terrain: Power, Suspension, and Range

For uneven surfaces, parks, or rural areas, focus on torque, tyre size, and suspension.

For outdoor terrain or rural settings, consider a mid- or rear-wheel drive model like the Quantum Outback 4x4.
