Description
For whom are GEKKO handrims suitable? For wheelchair users with full hand function and with full or reduced hand strength.
What are the advantages of GEKKO handrims? Perfect ergonomics and outstanding grip combined with low weight make the Gekko a unique, revolutionary handrim. The fully tread-integrated, robust and replaceable silicone lip contributes to the exceptional handling characteristics of the handrim and provides an unmatched ride comfort. The anodised, low-friction surface on the sides also reduces heat generation during braking.
Which profile size and coating do we recommend? We gladly recommend the Gekko S for small hands to children's hands. Children learn the correct use and grip at a young age. For normal and large hands, we recommend the larger GEKKO profile.
CarboLife push rims are generally available with the two common mounting variants:
- Fastening by means of 6 straps (The handrims have six welded aluminium plates with holes, which are attached to the wheel rim by means of M5 bolts.)
- Fastening by means of 6 threaded inserts (The hand rims have six inserted M5 threads. The fastening screws are guided through the wheel rim and, if necessary, spacer sleeves and screwed into the push rim.)
If you have any questions or are unsure about the type of fastening, please contact us. We will be happy to help you!
The price is the unit price for one handrim. Some of the drive wheels shown in the pictures are not included in the scope of delivery and serve as an example of the product in its assembled state.
