My electric wheelchiar is called a Quickie Rumba in the UK made in Spain by Sunrise Medical.Has a top speed of approximately 3.5 mph. This is not fast enough for me I would perfer a top speed of 6 mph (10 kph) can anybody help with a inexpensive and simple modifications

Hello

I'm afraid i have not been able to find any information on simple modifications to power wheelchairs.

My only suggestions would be that a) you try to contact the manufacturer and ask them to upgrade the power unit or b) you try to find a technician that will do same. Though i should also mention that any such tweaks may invalidate your warrenty.

I'm sorry i was not able to help more.

Regards

Duncan

I have tried both of the avenues you have suggested without successes thanks

Hello

Then the only other avenue could be a short course in electrics and a bit of 'diy'. A power chair is essentially very simple. If you were able to find out the specific details of the power unit, i am quite sure you would be able to replace it with a more powerfull unit.

Is there any chance that the chairs power is restricted in some way? Sometimes the restriction in power vehicles is done simply by physically limiting the range of the power control knob. Removing the casing may let you see this.

Finally, is it a power issue? Could you look at replacing the battery for one with a higher output?

Good luck.

Regards,

Duncan

Sir I am still with you and you answered 2 days after my original info request to you. I am working on a solution for you and ask that you please hold tight until we can find a remedy. I see you mentioned the names..............but in my first info request of 2 days ago I asked for a model number could you provide that please if there is one.

There is no model number I think it is the replacement model for the F45 foldable chair

Well sir I have been waiting for two days for you to respond to my info request. I see another expert has taken over without allowing me the courtesy of assisting you with my original request for info.

The other expert has taken the opportunity to assist and give an opinion of which you have accepted. I had things set aside on this. You have accepted and I will back away at this time since your now working with another expert.

SORRY THIS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE USED T5HIS SERVICE AND WAS NOT AWARE THAT I WAS DEALING WITH MORE THAN ONE MYKE UK. I CLOSE THE INQUIRY BECAUSE I THE REPLIES I RECEVED HAD ALREADY BEEN CONSIDERED BY ME

From my research the other day on this the only way other people have adjusted the speed was to take it to someone that replaced the gear ratio to allow it to go faster. These are indeed very very slow carts and are designed more for in home use then outside. Although they sell them for outside.

Gear ratio change was what I had. Just a matter of finding a worker to do it for you. The company will not.

Thanks for using Just Answer.
