Description
SKEED is a groundbreaking technology that increases the braking ratio for maximum efficiency with minimal effort. Skeed is a pair of wheels that incorporates a unique braking system at its center. A fixed operating lever, directly connected to the hub, allows you to slow down and immobilize your wheelchair.
With Skeed, braking becomes effortless: one hand on the push rim and a single finger on the lever are all you need to slow down or stop—with five times less effort !
Behind this ease of use is an ingenious cam system that applies progressive friction between the frame and the wheel.The mounting adapters designed by EPPUR ensure precise compatibility and secure installation of Skeed wheels on your wheelchair.
Features
Eliminates 100% of friction
Say goodbye to burns with Skeed ! Its innovative braking system transfers braking force to the wheel hub using mechanical calipers. Your hands no longer create direct friction on the push rims while braking, eliminating the risk of heat buildup and burns, even during sudden or prolonged braking.
5-fold reduction in braking effort
Brake without the strain ! Enjoy an optimised braking ratio that requires up to five times less effort to slow down your wheelchair. A light press on the lever is all it takes for effective braking, significantly reducing the strain on your arms and hands compared to direct braking on the push rims.
Effective even in the rain
Unlike traditional braking, which relies on direct friction between your hands and potentially wet, slippery push rims, Skeed uses callipers that apply mechanical pressure directly to the wheel hub.This direct, moisture-protected contact ensures reliable and consistent braking power, even in the rain.
Compatible with motorisation
Skeed wheels are especially useful for safely controlling rear propulsion wheels (5th wheels), without putting strain on your shoulders during turns or on side slopes.
Compatible with motorization
Dreeft wheels are particularly useful for controlling the 5th rear drive wheels safely, without straining your shoulders on every turn or on slopes
– 80% braking effort
The system multiplies braking effort. Dreeft wheels reduce the effort required on the handrail by 80% for braking equivalent to a traditional wheel.
