SoftWheel is improving the lives of wheelchair riders worldwide… AND in 2017 SoftWheel is launching its bicycle wheel! “From my first pedal stroke it was clear to me that this is a completely different take on suspension” says Neil O’Brien, Elite Bike Racing Champion & SoftWheel’s Velo Alchemist “Plus the wheel looks so different, the moment you see it, you wanna ride it.”
We will be at Eurobike 2016 in Freidrichshafen. Germany, August 31 – September 4, with our bicycle wheel, where you can enjoy this revolutionary riding experience yourself!
At SoftWheel, we are looking forward to the Olympics.
3 SoftWheel riders will be competing in Rio!
Dror Cohen, our hero test rider, will be competing with his sailing team; Paralympic rower Moran Samuel, gold medal at the 2015 World Rowing Cup, will try to pick up gold again; amazing Paralympic swimmer Inbal Pezaro, who won bronze in London in 2012, is also a strong candidate for a medal.
We met US Transportation Secretary, Anthony Foxx, in Israel, and later he talked about SoftWheel as an example of a small startup that he envisions making a big impact.
Our team went to Eurobike and showcased our new Fluent wheel for bicycles that is a production-ready prototype with a more contemporary, lighter-weight design, and outstanding performance.
