FREEWAY steering attachment
-
As a steering attachment, the FREEWAY is easy to attach to the wheelchair in just a few steps and makes life easier on forest trails, cobblestones or other rough terrain with its 20" wheel. The wheelchair is still pushed forward as usual via the handrims and the caster wheels are raised slightly above the ground. And everyone who has tried it before can confirm: a 20'' wheel handles obstacles significantly more easily than a 4'', 5'' or 6'' wheel. This gives users a totally new freedom of movement. With the luggage rack and parking stand, the FREEWAY is also a practical shopping companion.
The adjustable steering column allows the handle bar position to be adjusted to a different angle based on changing requirements.
The steering damper keeps the device on a straight track, even when there is no hand on the handle bar. Curves can easily be managed via the steering system, and not as normally through braking and pushing motions on the handrims, which always lead to a loss of momentum.
FREEWAY trekking
The FREEWAY trekking is designed as a steering attachment for longer tours, including extended downhill sections. When travelling downhill, the FREEWAY trekking is a real help, as the steering attachment takes care of the steering and braking. The disk brake lets users control even longer descents with the brake. The FREEWAY trekking has adjustable dropouts that allow the fork length and the height of the docking plate to be adjusted (adapting the docking plate height to an existing PRO ACTIV adapter, for example).
Good directional stability
The steering damper keeps the device on a straight track almost all the time, even when there is no hand on the handle bar. As a result, the FREEWAY always tends to run straight ahead when propelled by the handrims, and generally steers straight ahead, even if the track slopes sideways.
Optimum adjustment to the user’s requirements and capabilities
The angle of the handle bar position can be adjusted, and three steering column lengths are available. This allows the handle bar position to be adapted to suit the user for a pleasant ride feeling and perfect control. The adapter can also be adjusted in angle, height and length.
Service brake for descending slopes
The high-quality and reliable disk brake on the FREEWAY trekking model make braking on descents convenient without burning your hands on the handrims. The braking force can be applied as required. If your tours involve frequent longer and/or steeper descents, the FREEWAY trekking with its disk brake is ideal.
Small pack size
As the quick release levers make removing the wheel quick and easy, a small pack size can be achieved. The FREEWAY is easy to load with an overall weight starting at just 3 kg.
Sturdy adaptation
Connects via a central adapter (fastened onto the axle or cross-tube under the seat surface or onto the folding mechanism) or front adapter (fastened onto the front frame tubes). The adapters are easily adapted to or removed from the wheelchair. When they are removed, the added weight on the wheelchair is minimal, and there are no restrictions to the functionality of the wheelchair (e.g. folding mechanism). The adapter can be used for all PRO ACTIV adaptive bikes, traction devices and steering attachments with the same wheel size: ONE adapter for MANY combinations.
Option: Parking stand for simple handling
The optional parking stand makes connecting and disconnecting easier, as it holds the steering attachment at the height required for adaptation. The parking stand also allows the FREEWAY steering attachment to be parked safely when disconnected. The parking stand can be folded up against the product with one step when travelling.
