Only available from Susurro, the trusted trade supplier of wheelchairs and power add-ons, the new pioneering Skeed wheels are now available in the UK.

These new innovative wheelchair wheels are manufactured by Eppur, the specialist that built Susurro’s award-winning Dreeft wheels. The Skeed system incorporates unique braking levers positioned on each wheel hub. This ergonomic solution allows active wheelchair users to finely control speed, slow down and immobilise themselves – without gripping wheel rims. This new model is not only lighter at only 2.15kg per wheel, it offers 100% manoeuvrability on two wheels and is compatible with power assist units such as the Yomper+. As the exclusive Eppur distributor in the UK, Susurro is delighted to offer Skeed to mobility retailers for the first time – delivering even greater control and convenience to end users.

Over and above benefits to wheelchair users, Skeed wheels promise healthy sales, margins through quality engineering. Dan Sutton, Susurro Business Development Manager, comments: “Since we won the 2025 Naidex ‘Best in Show’ Able Award for our Dreeft wheels, we have received significant orders from retailers wishing to stock Eppur products. Their Skeed innovation promises to deliver even more trade interest as they provide, for the first time globally, a braking system that completely eliminates the need for users to handle wheel rims. We are already rolling out demonstrations across the UK and we encourage all existing and new retailers to book a slot asap as demand is high.”

Building on the groundbreaking technology of the Dreeft system, Skeed wheels introduce unique actuation levers that activate a mechanism to brake wheelchair wheels. The easy-to-grip levers eliminate the need to manually slow down wheels by holding onto rims which can be commonly dirty and wet. Fitting Skeed wheels to wheelchairs has multiple user benefits including:

Eliminating 100% hand friction
Only 80% of normal effort required to brake
Compatibility with powered add-ons
Increasing manoeuvrability and safety
Reducing shoulder, arm and hand wear

The Eppur Skeed wheels from Susurro promise strong sales across the UK. With the upsurge in sales seen with the Yomper we are also offering a combined Skeed/Yomper demonstrator package price to our dealers.
