The world of powered mobility continues to evolve, and the arrival of the new Quantum Edge 4 marks an exciting step forward for people who rely on complex technology to support their independence, comfort, and everyday participation.
Building on the success of previous Edge models, the Edge 4 introduces significant improvements in performance, ride quality, accessibility, and customisation. Whether you're a power wheelchair user, therapist, assessor, or family member exploring mobility solutions, the Edge 4 has been designed to meet the demands of modern life.
A New Chapter in the Evolution of Edge Performance
The Quantum Edge series has long been recognised for combining advanced technology with exceptional driving performance. Following the popularity of the Edge 3 and Edge 3 Stretto, the Edge 4 takes everything users valued and enhances it even further.
Quantum describes the Edge 4 as its fastest, brightest, and most capable Edge platform yet, bringing together improved suspension, enhanced seating options, greater battery access, and upgraded technology.
The result is a power wheelchair that feels equally at home navigating indoor environments, busy community spaces, and uneven outdoor terrain.
A Legacy of Innovation – Allied Medical Limited
Designed for Real World Mobility
Daily mobility isn't just about moving from one room to another. It means travelling across footpaths, negotiating thresholds, accessing shops, attending appointments, and participating in community life. The Edge 4 has been designed with these real-world challenges in mind.
Key upgrades include:
- Larger 7-inch front and rear castors
- Powerful 4-pole motors
- Improved suspension and damping
- Enhanced obstacle negotiation
- Increased driving range with Group 24 batteries
Together, these features provide a smoother, more stable driving experience while reducing the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces.
For users who spend long periods in their chair, improved ride quality can make a meaningful difference to comfort and fatigue throughout the day.
Advanced Seating and Positioning Options
For many power wheelchair users, seating is just as important as mobility.
The Edge 4 is compatible with Quantum's advanced TRU-Balance seating systems, offering a wide range of clinical positioning options to support posture, pressure management, function, and independence.
Available options include:
- Power tilt
- Power recline
- Anterior tilt
- Power articulating foot platform
- Memory seating functions
- 12-inch iLevel® seat elevation
These features allow therapists and assessors to configure a solution tailored to each individual's needs, helping users remain comfortable and supported throughout the day.
iLevel®: Elevating More Than Just the Seat
One of the standout features available on the Edge 4 is Quantum's iLevel technology.
The optional 12-inch seat elevation system allows users to raise their seating position while maintaining mobility at walking speed.
This can help users:
- Engage more naturally in conversations
- Access shelving and work surfaces
- Improve social participation
- Reduce the need for reaching and overextension
- Interact at eye level with family, friends, and colleagues
For many users, this added independence can have a significant impact on daily life.
Smart Technology for Everyday Living
Today's power wheelchairs are more connected than ever. The Edge 4 features Quantum's Q-Logic 3 control system with Bluetooth connectivity, enabling integration with compatible devices and alternative drive controls.
Additional technology options include:
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Alternative drive controls
- USB charging capabilities
- Optional Quantum Backup Camera
These features help users stay connected, independent, and in control throughout the day.
Improved Visibility and Safety
The Edge 4 introduces integrated LED accent lighting within the castors arms, and fenders, improving visibility in low light environments while adding a modern aesthetic.
Whether travelling through carparks, community spaces, or early morning and evening environments, improved visibility can contribute to greater confidence and awareness.
Personalised to Suit
No two wheelchair users are the same. The Edge 4 offers extensive customisation options, allowing therapists and users to configure a solution that aligns with functional, clinical, and personal preferences.
Options include:
- Multiple seating systems
- Alternative drive controls
- Standard or knobby tyres
-
A wide range of positioning functions
This flexibility supports both clinical outcomes and personal expression.
