Eppur Dreeft wheels

The 1st braking system for manual wheelchairs. A pair of wheels designed for injury-free braking. While for some users traditional braking can be difficult and tiring, if not impossible, Dreeft wheels enable smooth, efficient braking. Even for people with low muscle strength, our braking system makes handling inclines and bends safer and more comfortable.

Inspired by Dutch bicycles
wheels incorporate a "back-pedal" braking system at their center, enabling the user 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!
Eliminates 100% of friction - When braking, the handrail remains stationary in relation to the hand.
-80% braking effort - The system multiplies braking effort.
Compatible with motorisation
Description

How does it work?

Going Forward:

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

Freewheel:

As the handrail is not attached to the rim, 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.
