The Acrobat Wheel

Your life, Your choice.

Designed and built with the needs of the active user in mind, the Acrobat™ wheel provides total freedom to wheelchair riders by allowing a smooth and comfortable ride across any path they choose, and with the chair frame they prefer.

With our unique design, the Acrobat™ wheel delivers flexibility while preserving wheel functionality with no added energy loss and bouncy unstable sensation. On flat terrain it rolls like a rigid wheel and only when encountering impacts the suspension mechanism jumps into action to absorb the shock from the impact, lessening the stress to the rider’s body.

The Acrobat™ wheel can be adjusted to fit any wheelchair frame design

The Acrobat™ provides 360° protection from impacts at any angle

The Acrobat™ will take the hit for you

The Acrobat™ wheel incorporates a selective suspension mechanism that acts only when an impact above a certain threshold is encountered. The threshold is pre-set according to user requirements and is easily changeable.​

In normal ride on standard floors or pavements, the suspension mechanism remains static. The Acrobat™ acts and feels as a high-end, rigid wheel. However, when encountering an impact caused by an obstacle above a specific threshold, the Acrobat’s Selective Suspension mechanism comes into play. This causes a shift of the wheel’s hub from its previously central location and develops a cushioning effect that dramatically absorbs and lessens the impact transferred to the rider

Once the obstacle has been passed the hub shifts back to its central location smoothly, automatically, and seamlessly. The wheel regains its rigidity and responsiveness, and the user continues moving efficiently.

In fact it is the wheel that absorbs most of the shock generated by impact rather than the chair or the user’s body.
