To adapt Dreeft to the wheelchair, you must obtain the correct axle length. Original wheelchair wheel axles are likely not suitable.

To do this: measure the diameter and depth of the wheelchair’s axle receiver.
See image instructions in QR Axle Pin tab!

Type D adapter does not require fixed installation on the wheelchair chassis.
– Compatible with 12mm and 12.7mm axle pins
– Compatible with wheel camber
– Allows backward compatibility of original wheels

Wheels are configurable with two axle diameters.
Wheel sleeves allow for adapting to the correct diameter.

1st intuitive braking system for manual wheelchairs

Inspired by Dutch bicycles, our wheels incorporate a “back-pedal” braking system at their centre, enabling users to activate a brake by lightly pulling the handrail backwards. With Dreeft, you can slow down, turn and reverse without any friction in your hand and with 5x less effort!

Manufacturer’s warranty: 2 years, excluding worn parts.

Wheels designed for injury-free braking

Eliminates 100% of friction

When braking, the handrail remains stationary with the hand. Rubbing and burning are eliminated.

Take away 80% of braking effort.

The system multiplies braking effort. Dreeft wheels reduce the effort required on the handrail by 80% for braking, which is equivalent to a traditional wheel.

Compatible with motorisation

Dreeft wheels are particularly useful for safely controlling the 5th rear drive wheels without straining your shoulders on every turn or on slopes.

Stop using your hands as brake pads.

The Dreeft wheel pair enables wheelchair users to brake progressively and safely with a simple push to the rear of the handrail.

For effortless control of bends and slopes

With Dreeft, braking is progressive: braking force increases with the force exerted on the handrail. This makes it easier for the user to control the wheelchair’s speed.

And because the Dreeft handrail is not attached to the rest of the wheel, the user can maintain a firm grip and control the direction of the wheelchair more easily.

For greater safety, autonomy and everyday comfort

By eliminating the risk of braking-related injury, Dreeft gives wheelchair users peace of mind and reduces the need for assistance from others.

Dreeft wheels considerably improve the safety and reliability of movement for people with disabilities, enabling them to lead more active and independent lives.

How does it work?

With Dreeft, there’s no need to grip the pushrim! Everyone can use it, whatever their gripping ability.

Going forward

If the handrail is moved forward, it drives the wheel forward, and the wheelchair moves forward.

Freewheel

The handrail is not attached to the rim, so they no longer rotate simultaneously. This allows you to keep control of your wheelchair without burning your hands.

Braking

If you move the handrail backwards, you engage the hub’s internal braking system and brake without any friction.

Going backwards

If, once stationary, you continue to push the handrail backwards, you can go into reverse.

AXLE PINS

To adapt Dreeft to the wheelchair, you must obtain axles of the correct length.

You must measure the diameter and depth of the wheelchair's axles.

To do this, take both measurements from the diagram shown.

L: Measure the distance between the bearing and the start of the balls.

All axles have an adjustable range of +/- 2mm in length.

The original wheelchair wheel axles are likely not suitable.
