CarboLife Gekko S

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.)

The push rims are available in the following variants (wheel size / mounting type / installation dimension / surface):

• 24″ (540 mm) / 6 lugs / 512 mm / black or silver anodised
