Skeed: Minimum weight: 2.2 kg and up to 2.7 kg depending on the options chosen on the measurement form with your dealer (e.g., tire, handrail, etc.). Dreeft: Weight of a complete wheel, fully equipped with axle and grip flange: 3.774gWeight of a Spinergy-XLX wheel equipped with the same components: 2,381gFor your information:Weight of a Marathon+ tire: 585gWeight of the removable grip pad: 650gWeight of a quick-release axle: 111g

Skeed: The width of Dreeft wheels is 79mm . Dreeft: The width of Dreeft wheels is 87mm .That is, the length measured between the axle cannon and the furthest point of the wheel.For example: the overall width of a Spinergy-XLX wheel (equipped with the same grip) is 87mm .It is possible to remove the handrail fixing spacers to reduce the overall width of the wheel by 7mm . The handrail then sits closer to the wheel, resulting in a width of 80mm .Adapter widths: - RTS "Ready To Skeed" (+21mm) and RTD "Ready To Dreeft" (+20mm) adapters : 👉🏻No mounting required on the wheelchair; the adapter is already on the wheel👉🏻 Allows backward compatibility of original wheels - The type A adapter designed for most folding chassis can add up to 10mm compared to the original configuration.- The type B adapter designed for most fixed chassis does not add any additional width.To find out your configuration, please do not hesitate to contact us so that we can study your case!

Skeed & Dreeft wheels are compatible with your wheelchair accessories. We particularly recommend using Skeed & Dreeft wheels to improve the safety and maneuverability of wheelchairs equipped with a 5th rear drive wheel : Smoov, Smartdrive or Yomper+.Other types of additional motorization by 3rd front wheel (Batec Sirocco, Omni...) are compatible without problem, even if the braking function is not useful when handling the motorization.

Wheel Maintenance Package: To ensure the proper functioning and safety of your wheels, a maintenance package is available. The cost is €74.82 per wheel , fully covered under the LPP (Swiss Federal Law on Retirement, Survivors' and Disability Pension Plans) scheme for the annual package . This service includes a complete wheel inspection, brake system adjustment, and replacement of any worn parts. With this package, you can keep your wheels in perfect condition at no extra cost, while adhering to the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations. For your information: The braking action of our wheels results from the friction generated by brake pads on a manganese-vanadium alloy steel drum. The heat generated by this friction is then dissipated in the hub by conduction and subsequently into the air by natural convection. A layer of grease between the friction parts ensures wear-free contact.The hub is dustproof and splashproof, thus retaining a sufficient amount of grease throughout its lifespan and requiring no maintenance.The other components of the wheel (tires, spokes, inner tube) are of course consumables and can be replaced as on any other wheel.

Skeed: Skeed is perfectly suited for two-wheeled riding! Thanks to its fixed handlebar, it handles just like a classic pair of wheels. You retain 100% maneuverability and perfect control to overcome obstacles and maneuver with agility. Dreeft: Dreeft wheels require some getting used to because the handlebar moves relative to the wheel, which creates some play in the mechanism for reversing. It's entirely possible to navigate common obstacles requiring two wheels (boats, curbs, soft ground) provided you master the Dreeft wheels. This requires practice with a professional, a support strap, and, most importantly, attaching an anti-tip wheel if you're not yet fully comfortable with the two-wheeler.

The wheels are guaranteed for two years from the date of purchase.Wear parts (tires, spokes, inner tubes) are not covered by the warranty. Find more information in the general terms and conditions of sale .

It is perfectly possible to equip these wheels with a pair of mountain bike tires for off-road outdoor rides ! The wheels come standard with 25mm Schwalbe tires.We are unable to deliver the wheels with a custom tire fitting.Simply ask your dealer to change the tires. All medical equipment dealers can perform this operation. For this purpose, we recommend adding a third front wheel to the wheelchair to raise the Freewheel-type casters.

Skeed: Skeed wheels integrate a powerful parking brake directly into the braking system .Simply push the lever forward until it clicks into place to securely immobilize your wheelchair. The hold is reliable, regardless of tire pressure or wear.Skeed allows you to secure your transfers and stops without adding an extra parking brake. Dreeft: Our Dreeft wheels do not replace parking brakes , especially if you want to switch to another pair of wheels! For these reasons, we have not integrated a locking function into Dreeft.

To date, our wheels have been certified to support a maximum weight of 120 kg . Consequently, we cannot guarantee their use beyond this limit.

Once the wheelchair is fitted with Skeed & Dreeft adapters, other wheel models may become incompatible . To continue using other wheels (such as the wheelchair's original wheels or mountain bike wheels), contact your dealer to verify compatibility and adjust the mounting axles accordingly.

WARNING: Skeed & Dreeft wheels are not designed for skiing or riding on icy slopes like skis or snow/ice equipment. Here's why:🎿 1. Intended use of the wheelsSkeed & Dreeft wheels are a wheel and braking system for manual wheelchairs, with a progressive brake operated from the handrim to improve control in everyday life (flat terrain, slight inclines, sidewalks, etc.). They are not winter gliding wheels or skis suitable for snow/ice.🛞 2. Limitations regarding slopesThe manual recommends not taking on slopes that are too steep (in practice no more than ~7°) because the braking system can overheat on long descents, and the loss of grip on slippery or inclined ground can lead to a loss of control.On very slippery surfaces like ice or black ice, wheel traction is insufficient, greatly increasing the risk of slipping and falling, even if the braking system is functioning. Standard tires/wheels do not grip ice like specially designed crampons or skis.❄️ 3. Not suitable for snow/iceDriving or skiing on hard-packed snow or ice requires:- specific equipment (crampons, nails, snow tires, skis, snowshoes),- a grip capacity that conventional tires mounted on Skeed & Dreeft wheels do not have.In other words, even if the braking mechanism helps on moderate slopes, it does not compensate for the lack of grip on ice or hard snow.✅ Conclusion:👉 You cannot "ski" with Skeed & Dreeft wheels nor can you safely use these wheels on icy slopes.👉 They are designed for urban use and gentle slopes (up to ~7°), not for snow or ice where appropriate equipment is required (crampons, skis, etc.).If you are looking to glide on snow/ice, there is specialized equipment available (e.g., winter roller skis or adapted boards/tracks).
