Dreeft was born in Colin's head on leaving a design course at Compiègne University of Technology in 2015. As a student, he came across a manual wheelchair user whose hands were burnt and who was struggling to get down a slope. So he decided to look into the problem :

How can we provide a braking solution without changing the ergonomics of moving a manual wheelchair, and without adding an actuating lever ?

Hundreds of hours of development, numerous prototypes leading to the filing of a patent, and a few years later, the Eppur team was set up to develop and market Dreeft wheels !
