Put simply - this innovative product gives you freedom, independence and mobility.

The FreeWheel allows you to easily and safely traverse any rough terrain. Whether it's the urban jungle that is Glasgow, Dublin or London, going to your child's football game ... or a triathlon, the FreeWheel is the answer.

Weighing less than 5 lbs. it is easy to install ... and when you go inside, it easily stores on a "perch" on the back of your chair, which is included with the FreeWheel.

The Freewheel is a rugged, lightweight (under 2.5kg) add on wheel which quickly clamps simply and securely to the one-piece footrest of your rigid-framed (non folding) wheelchair, allowing you to push over surfaces that would otherwise be difficult or impossible.

The FreeWheel lifts the front castors off the ground, turning your wheelchair into a sturdy three-wheeler that can take you almost anywhere you want to go. Grass, kerbs, and rough roads can be easily navigated, resulting in vastly increased mobility and independence.
