Reinventing Braking

You asked and Eppur listened. Skeed is a new solution, aimed at more active wheelchair users often using rear power add-on:

- Progressive braking in a lighter more dynamic wheel
- Over 1kg lighter than DREEFT per wheel
- Fixed push rim for balanced wheelies
- Braking lever connected directly to the hub
- Incorporated park brake

Fingertip Braking and Parking
