5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but things to be aware of - happy with it, but make note...

Q. · November 29, 2020

My wife was working out a couple weeks ago and handed wrong, breaking her foot severely to the point of no weight for up to 12 weeks and we are still awaiting word on if she’ll need surgery. But she needs to get to the bathroom and between the bed and recliner, so we had to do something. After researching the various products she decided on this brand, and this scooter.Overall we are giving it a 5 star and it is deserved, but there are some points you will want to make note of when choosing.1. Set up: This is easy to set up. But. A. You will want to have someone able bodied to do it. It is not overly heavy, but there is weight to it, and it’s bottom heavy, so you need to be able to move around, adjust, even climb/lay not the floor or put it up on a table. If you are injured you’re not likely to be comfortable doing many of the elements - you’ll need to brace yourself, push, hold, tighten, etc. One step will require setting the height of the kneeler and you will need/want someone to be down adjusting this while you measure your comfort level. B. FOLLOW EACH STEP AS DESCRIBED! We had read a few reviews about set up and when we did ours I went literally step by step - to the T - to identify and perform each step. This has kept us from having any of the issues others describe. There are a couple points where this might seem difficult, off, or you’re not sure, but be careful, follow the steps, and be clear you’re doing as described. One does NOT want to fall or feel unsure about its security when using this (or any) scooter. C. Tighten as you go - often you tighten after everything is done, but from what I was doing and experiencing, tighten as I went kept me from having to figure out how to reach something or get back to something - and was safest when my wife tested heights.2. Comfort: Overall she finds this a very comfortable scooter, but it is cheaper - that others from this manufacturer - so I said early on she’ll likely want a cushion for the knee pad - she did within 2 days. It is fine, but she’ll be on this for 12 weeks and most will use for at least 6 weeks. You are going to want a cover. We got her one from the same company and again, she likes it - but thinks it might be a little thicker as well. My wife finds the handle bars easy to use, and the overall comfort to be fine.That said, if we were to do it again, she’s thinking she’d get a higher level one for added comfort.3. Handles, stopping, starting. This is easy to use, It’s all you - leg power pushing. But if you’re venturing beyond your home you’ll need to be aware of the slopes, you’ll notice every bump in the road, and you’re going to have to be aware far more than usual of grading and how to get over and around things. This one does fine, it is workable, but there is, again, an element she prefers she’d gone a little higher quality. She does feel everything and has said she would get one with better wheels/tires. These are not very off-load friendly. We did one trip into our community parking lot so she could get doctor ordered sun and she was not enjoying the bumps and hardness. She also has a slight concern about the brakes - one tightens well, the other is weaker. So these combined make her wish she had gone higher quality - but with the same company. She recommends riding outside with your hands on the brakes at all times - you never know when a change is coming and you have to react in ways you’re not used to.4. My wife was looking at higher level ones with this company and is telling me that you have to have a major price upgrade for better tires: meaning all terrains tires that can get you around comfortably in multiple types of locations (parking lots, offices, ground, gravel, house, anything you can think of). This is fine for the house, getting to and from the car, maybe the store, but parking lots are uncomfortable, gravel and acorns hurt, and so forth. But there is a price jump. She is thinking she’d pay the extra from this experience - maybe not under Covid conditions where we are stuck at home, and she has been told she cannot have any movement/weight/bump risks until she’s out of the woods for surgery - but we live in a place where we like to get out and do things, so if we were able, she’d want more access this does not provide.5. Maneuverability: Our home is smeller, so we kept that in mind. She wanted/needed to get around on her own, so she needed to consider turning radius. She picked this one because she didn’t feel she needed or would be safe turning on a dime, but how could she adjust? This one does not have a tight turn, which allows it to keep its stability. That makes her feel secure. But she counters it with being able to pick it up and move it in those moments, which makes her feel fine and not at all uncomfortable making adjustments as such. Being light means being aware of that - you don’t have to worry about it tipping and falling on you, but it’s light. But she can adjust and she does not lack stability for movement. If you need it to feel more stable she noted in reviews how those may be heavier. She didn’t want that. This is something she does not regret in this choice, nor would give up. She has never felt unstable or tippy and she confidently gets herself around when she needs to move.6. She HIGHLY recommends if you’re going to be using this for any period of time and you want any sort of autonomy: get a cup holder and basket. We have not gotten a basket and I’m not sure both would fit - in fact I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t work. I’m home all the time and I can carry things for her. She does have a great cup holder we also got on Bolo - ironically for strollers - 2 Pack Stroller Drink Holders for Cups or Bottles Universal for Bicycle, Wheelchair, Trolleys, 360 Rotation is the name on the product page. This one fits perfectly on this scooter and holds a serious amount of weight. We have large Tervis tumbler - always full when she moves it around - and it is heavy! This holder hasn’t had an issue.Overall this is a great scooter and has saved us. The first day I was practically carrying her around (and led to a torn hamstring) until this arrived and we are thrilled she’s had it. Again, in our old world we likely would have upgraded to get out more, but for Covid or those staying home more or easier locations to get to, this is stellar. She also will be on it for 12 weeks minimum, so we have to see what level of activity she’ll be allowed. But for home it’s perfect. For much of our pre-covid daily lives it would have worked. If we’d have been able to get to a theme park or some other outdoor location, it would have been better to have better tires. But still a great scooter and choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Knee Scooter

R.F. · August 30, 2022

I purchased this scooter while recovering from a foot injury because I needed to fly to a family wedding. This unit is solid and was perfect for me. My biggest concern on our trip was the long distances that you often need to cover in an airport. Long hotel hallways and other extended walking locations were other factors. First a comment that using any knee scooter does require physical effort. So if you are otherwise healthy, and your good leg is strong, you are a good candidate for one of these. There were times when I had to go up a slight incline and it was a bit of work for my good leg. In terms of the scooter itself, it comes disassembled but went together easily. The handle can be detached should you need to... as can the seat post. Worth noting that it does not fold up to become more compact. It also does not have a tight turning radius, but it's OK. There is a slight shimmy to the front wheels on some surfaces, so it is necessary to use two hands for stability. The brakes work great and I was able to get comfortable coasting down slight inclines. I also recommend being careful at changes in surface types, like going from carpet to tile etc. They check this scooter separately at security and so ideally you should be able to walk a little through the metal detector. They offered a cane for me, which I did not need. I assume if someone could not walk at all, they would get a wheel chair and scan you that way. At the gate they will gate check this and return it to you at the destination gate. Consider that you will need to walk down the plane isle. I did see someone use theirs all the way to their seat and the flight attendant brought it back out for him so that appears to be an option. A great knee scooter. I highly recommend this model.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great knee scooter

E.F. · November 22, 2025

A big upgrade over crutches. Broke my ankle and this has helped me get around the house much easier than crutches, highly recommend. As others have said, it doesn't turn very sharply, sometimes you just have to pick up the front end, or make a multi point turn. Makes life much easier, cheaper than renting in my case as I'm off my ankle for 6 weeks minimum. Bought open box,it was still like new. Doesn't mark our espresso colored wood floors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Duty - Great Buy

B.J. · May 13, 2025

I have been using this knee scooter for 4 weeks. It is a great product. It was easy to assemble and it has a nice fit and finish. It is also easy to adjust. It has been getting me around the house for a month while I recover from a broken ankle. I'm about 170 pounds and I'm sure this thing could take a lot more weight and work well. Here are a couple of reasons I did not give it 5 stars. 1.) The wheels are solid rubber and l'm sure they will last a long time. However if you don't release the brakes you may leave a mark on the floor (tile or wood). If you turn too fast...lol... you may leave a mark on the floor. This is making my wife not happy. 2.) The brakes. At first I wondered why you need brakes. You Do. But sometimes they aren't easy to apply and sometimes you think you released them but you didn't. Other that than the only thing I really needed was a basket which I made from a reusable shopping bag. This is a good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing scooter

M.H. · December 31, 2025

This scooter is exactly the same as the ones I have rented previously from medical supply companies for 2 foot surgeries. It is stable, well constructed, handles well, has hand brakes and a parking brake. The front handle even folds for transport. Iable to get it within 2Days which was great because I am non-weight bearing and crutches are awful. Also the price is less than renting for 3 months. I did buy a memory foam pad to use with it from Top Glides and am very happy ith it. It will not slip off. If you need a scooter I highly recommend this one.

Worth Every Penny

This has really been an absolute life changer. I fractured my ankle and was non weight bearing for 7 weeks I was using crutches for the 1st few days and finding it uncomfortable and difficult to get around but the scooter really turned it around. It was much easier to get around the house and go outside. It was very stable and good quality. I wouldn’t say it’s heavy but it’s not light either if it was light it wouldn’t be as stable. You will probably need some help to assemble if you are non weight bearing as you do need to get under it to adjust the knee rest. Really worth it if you aren’t good with crutches and still want to do things around the house. The rubber wheels can leave little scuff marks on tiles and wood floors but I found as I’m getting around I can wipe them up with my good leg if I have socks on they come up easily!

Super util y divertido

R. · October 2, 2019

Se compro para mi tía que se fracturo el tobillo y le sirvio MUCHISIMO, ella batallaba mucho con la movidad en muletas u otro apoyo similar pero con el scooter soluciono todos sus problemas. es muy ligero considerando lo que es pero sin perder durabilidad o calidad. Las vueltas no son la cosas mas facil de realizar con el patin pero en poco tiempo le tomas la medida y se vuelve relativamente facil sin embargo era lo de mayor dificultad. Cuando mi tía no lo usaba me gustaba dar una vuelta con el y la verdad es que hasta diverido es. el soporte para la rodilla sirve de asiento o para recargar la pierna si andas mucho tiempo en movimiento lo cual lo hace aun mas practico. desarmarlo y armarlo para meterlo en cajuelas chicas es muy simple y si tienes el espacio cabe perfecto en casi todas las cajuelas asi que hasta para salir es practico lo unico que no recomiendo es andar con el en tierra o en pedreria, no es lo suficientemente estable y ahi si es complicado y hasta peligroso andar con el.

Absolutely the best investment to assist with a fractured ankle

S. · January 3, 2021

Best investment after my husband fractured his left ankle and truly was struggling with getting around the house on crutches. His cast is up to his knee.The knee rover allows him to be a bit more independent during his healing process. It was very easy to assemble. Attach handle bars with brakes already attached and set and attach seat to desired height and voila. It maneuvers very well. It is light weight and very sturdy and very well balanced. Now he has no more painful agony of trying to keep his leg balanced and elevated while trying to walk with the crutches. When he first tried it out he was over the moon with delight that getting around was so much easier and no pain with it. The price was very fair. I called a place on town about renting a knee rover and their price to rent was more money then buying it out right. Plus with covid now it made more sense to buy it brand new as he will be laid up for at least 10 weeks after his really bad fracture. I would HIGHLY recommend this knee rover. My husband is over 60 years in age and he rides this device like a kid.Thank you to the vendor that has supplied this great device.

The knee rover, a great invention!

H. · April 6, 2025

I broke my ankle, the tib and fib bones and needed something other than crutches to help me get around. This knee rover is the best invention!!! I did have to wait until my cast came off, due to the length on the pad. One it was off, I was able to scoot around my kitchen, as I have floor tiles. I love in a snow covered area, I surprisingly was able to move through the fluffy snow. It's user friendly, versatile, easily cleaned, stores well in a trunk space and you can sit and rest on it. The only complaint I have, is my one hip would bug me if I was on it for too long. I wouldn't recommend too long of a walk with it. Other than that, it's an amazing buy
