- Clamp– The precisely enginereed vise like connection allows you to attach your FreeWheel for a secure fit.
- Wheel– The large front wheel has less resistance than small casters and makes it easier to roll on any surface.
- Detent– This mechanism keeps the front wheel straight to improve stability and handling. By applying slight pressure, it will release, allowing you to quickly and easily turn in any direction.
- Perch– A great attachment is included to safely and securely lock your FreeWheel on the back of your wheelchair crossbar.
