Wheels designed for injury-free braking
Eliminates 100% of friction
When braking, the handrail remains stationary with the hand. Rubbing and burning are eliminated.
Reduce braking effort by 80%.
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: the braking force increases in proportion to 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 wheelchair, the user can maintain a firm grip and control the wheelchair's direction 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 forwardIf the handrail is moved forward, it causes the wheel to move forward, and the wheelchair moves forward accordingly. |
 |
 |
FreewheelThe 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. |
BrakingIf you move the handrail backwards, you engage the hub's internal braking system and brake without any friction. |
 |
 |
Going backwardsIf, once stationary, you continue to push the handrail backwards, you can go into reverse. |
