After thousands of years, the wheel has been 'reinvented'

The wheel features a specially designed 3-pin integrated shock absorber cylinder that sits between the rim and the wheel axle to reduce the impact when traveling through the sidewalk and down the stairs.

In 2008, an Israeli farmer, Gilad Wolf, had an accident that left him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. However, with the effort and passion for work, he has researched and invented a completely new wheel design with special suspension ring system, to help his wheelchair can overcome all terrain. easy way.

Acrobat wheelchair, which shows off the unique design

This special wheel design was later developed by the company SoftWheel and introduced with the Acrobat wheel version. The wheel features a specially designed 3-pin integrated shock-absorbing centrifugal crankshaft system and a wheel hub to reduce impact when traveling through the sidewalk and down the stairs.

When the wheelchair moves down the stairs or meets obstacles, the shock absorbers will adjust the wheel axle, absorbing kinetic energy and protecting the driver.

"The special design of the Acrobat wheel helps it move normally on flat, steady roads, and does not consume extra power ," said Daniel Barel, CEO of Softwheel . On bumpy or staircases, the Acrobat design absorbs the direct impact on the wheel without the need for external damping, so it saves nearly 97% of the kinetic energy. of the car ".

We help wheelchair users become more independent, now they can travel without having to go down the sidewalk or look for a ramp. "This unique technology can also be used to design parts for many types of vehicles, from bicycles to aircraft. Bicycle products called Fluent are now being developed. Softwheel is currently in the process of negotiating a partnership with an airline.
