Inspired by Dutch bicycles, our 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!
Manufacturer's warranty : 2 years excluding wear parts.
The 1st braking system for manual wheelchairs
A pair of wheels designed for injury-free braking
Eliminates 100% of friction
When braking, the handrail remains stationary in relation to the hand. Rubbing and burning are simply eliminated.
- 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.
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.

Dreeft User
Once you've tried Dreeft wheels, there's no turning back. It's the system we've all been waiting for to improve our daily lives. Our shoulders, arms and hands are finally protected.
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 speed of the wheelchair.
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.
What do our users have to say about us ?
A WORLD PREMIERE,
MADE IN FRANCE
Designed for strength and durability, Dreeft wheels are made in France in our factory in Lille (59).
How does it work ?
With Dreeft, there's no need to grip the handrail ! 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
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.
