For wheelchair users, every bump, crack, and uneven surface can translate into jarring vibrations, pain, and discomfort. Traditional wheelchair wheels, designed with rigid structures, transfer these shocks directly to the user’s body. But what if there was a way to absorb those impacts before they reach you?


Enter SoftWheel — a groundbreaking suspension system that’s redefining what wheelchair comfort means. This innovative technology doesn’t just promise a smoother ride; it delivers measurable improvements in health, safety, and overall mobility experience.


Revolutionary Suspension Technology

At the heart of SoftWheel’s innovation lies a sophisticated suspension system integrated directly into the wheel structure. Unlike conventional wheelchair wheels that rely on rigid spokes, SoftWheel wheels feature a unique design that absorbs shock and vibrations on all types of terrain.

The system works by incorporating suspension elements that respond dynamically to surface irregularities. When the wheel encounters a bump or obstacle, the suspension mechanism activates, cushioning the impact before it reaches the rider. On flat terrain, the system remains stable and rigid, maintaining the efficiency users expect from their mobility equipment.

This intelligent design represents a fundamental shift from traditional wheelchair technology, addressing a problem that has persisted since the invention of the wheelchair itself.


SoftWheel Wheelchair Life-Changing Benefits for Users


Pain Reduction and Health Improvements

The most significant advantage of SoftWheel suspension is its ability to reduce back and neck pain. Clinical research conducted at Emek Medical Center in 2017 demonstrated that fewer vibrations are transferred to riders, resulting in decreased fatigue at the end of the day. Users reported feeling notably better with SoftWheels compared to standard wheels.


Enhanced Safety and Stability

SoftWheel technology keeps riders steady while navigating bumps and obstacles. The system provides maximum cushioning during impact while maintaining stability and rigidity over flat surfaces. This dual functionality ensures users feel secure regardless of terrain conditions. It is not surprising that this same technology has found its way into bikes.

Superior Comfort Across All Terrains

Whether navigating city sidewalks, outdoor paths, or indoor surfaces, SoftWheel absorbs shock and vibrations consistently. Users have reported that they “hardly felt vibrations while riding” and found it “easy and comfortable to propel on uneven terrain.”

Real User Experiences

The impact of SoftWheel technology extends beyond technical specifications — it transforms daily life. Clinical trial participants consistently expressed feeling more secure and comfortable while using SoftWheel-equipped wheelchairs. The reduction in vibrations creates a smoother experience that allows users to focus on their destination rather than the discomfort of the journey.


Users have noted particular improvements when traveling over uneven surfaces, which previously caused significant discomfort and required careful navigation. With SoftWheel suspension, these obstacles become manageable challenges rather than painful barriers.

The Future of Mobility is Here

SoftWheel represents more than just an incremental improvement — it’s a paradigm shift in wheelchair design. By addressing the fundamental issue of vibration transfer, this technology opens new possibilities for wheelchair users to explore their world with confidence and comfort.


The clinical research backing SoftWheel’s effectiveness, combined with overwhelmingly positive user feedback, demonstrates that this isn’t just innovative technology — it’s proven technology that delivers real-world benefits.


For wheelchair users seeking to reduce pain, increase comfort, and enjoy greater mobility freedom, SoftWheel offers a glimpse into the future of personal transportation. This revolutionary suspension system proves that sometimes the most profound changes come from reimagining the fundamentals.
