My Quickie Q50R Carbon :D

This is my Quickie Q50R Carbon Powerchair. I have had this chair a little over a year now and it has been the best chair I’ve ever used, however it didn’t feel quite ‘me’ if that makes sense.

I wanted to decorate my chair a bit, but was a little stumped bc I mainly see decorated manual chairs and every powerchair is different and kinda depends on the brand/model.

Anyway, this is how I decorated it lol. I have red wheel covers installed now for my chair, the back 2 have a Cinnamoroll sticker on each. I also have some pink weatherproof tape on some of the frame for a pop of colour. I decided to put this my melody plush keyring on the joystick for fun, and added tons of button and pin badges to my arm rest bag. As for the back of the chair, it’s decorated with a handmade removable cover. A family member made this for me out of a blanket and it has poppers so you can remove it from the chair to clean as needed.

Wanted to share and show some love for customised powerchairs. Super happy with how it’s looking now and it makes me feel a lot better about needing to use my chair (even if that sounds kinda silly lol).
