Belfast Electric wheelchairs - Quickie Salsa Mini 2 review
April 19, 2016
Belfast Electric wheelchairs and Powerchairs from the experts in Northern Ireland
The Quickie Salsa Mini 2 has just arrived in our showroom! This is the narrowest performance mid wheel drive Powerchair in the world and offers great outdoor performance and indoor manoeuvrability.
It is ideal for users whose home has not been fully adapted for an electric wheelchair or powerchair.
It is narrow with the kids seat option having a range of between 30cm and 40cm. The adult seat range is between 41cm and 51cm.
There is also a teen option with a range of seat width of between 30cm and 40cm but options of longer seat depths.
The lift function is smooth and you can drive this wheelchair with the seat elevated. Here our Engineer and Product Specialist Danny Anderson demonstrates this;
This is a great looking electric wheelchair and the main benefits are;
- Ideal for smaller houses with tight doorways and condensed layouts
- Weighs from just 100kg so can be used through floor lifts or in a hoist
- Easier to get in and out of vehicles
- Great outdoor performance
- Powered Tilt is good for comfort and pressure relief
- Powered lift gets you up to eye level and used to get into bed
- Powered recline is good for relaxing
There is an adult seat, a teen seat and a child seat and the Quickie Salsa Mini 2 can be adapted over time as your needs change.
This ensures great value and of course it has all of the build quality you would expect from Quickie and Sunrise Medical.
The armrests flip up and the side panels unclip easily so side access if very convenient. This can also be used to get in to bed - just raise the wheelchair up to the height of your bed.
