KneeRover Economy Knee Scooter Steerable Knee Walker Crutch Alternative with DUAL BRAKING SYSTEM in Matte Black

Broken ankle and this is a game changer

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.

I broke my ankle on a Monday, and long story short: I went to emergency and was put in a cast/splint and sent home with crutches. Because of balance problems and RA in my shoulders, I could not adjust to the crutches. After trying for them for 2 days I fell off the crutches and dislocated my pinky finger and broke it. The crutches had to go. So I searched on Amazon and found the Knee Rover. After reading the wonderful reviews on it I decided to order the Knee Rover. I ordered the Knee Rover on August 31, and it was at my door on September 1st. Great shipping service. The box came nicely sealed and no damage on the box. Inside the box the rover was well protected with plastic ties and secured in foam pieces that prevented any damage if the box did move around during shipping. I took the rover out of the box and within 15 minutes I had it assembled. All you have to do is put on the steering piece, lock it, and then put on the seat and lock that. (This is actually one big reason why I ordered it because I am a senior and have arthritis I didn't want anything that I had to put together myself.) The colour blue is awesome in person. The rover is very nice looking and looks like it's way more than I paid. It has handlebars that are easy to grip and a seat that so is unbelievably soft and comfortable. I used it at night when I got up to go to the bathroom and have carpet all through my Studio apartment. The rover just glided over the carpet with ease and bathroom trips are easy now. Now for the test outside: After a week shut in the house I was getting Cabin Fever and decided to take the rover out for a spin. I was nervous at first especially with a broken ankle and a broken finger. But, I got over my anxiety and went for it: I walked uphill to the lake. It's about a mile from where I live. I put my knee on the rover and walked with my other foot. The rover was easy to maneuver and I had no problems with it on the paved sidewalk. It was a breeze and I was enjoying it. Because I'm 72 and full of arthritis I didn't want to overdo it, so I took rests on the way. The seat was very comfortable to rest on and I'd sit for a while in the fresh air and then get going again. Once I made it to the lake I tested it on the gravel pathway. And, no, there is no way it will work on a gravel road. So, I pulled off the gravel path and went up on the grass area to complete my walk. It worked on low-cut grass much better. I sat for a while on the comfortable seat watching the animals in the water. After about an hour, I headed back home. I coasted most of the way at a slow pace because it was mostly downhill. I also used the brakes at times and they worked great. I knew not to put them on suddenly or I would topple over. I gently, and slowly applied pressure to the brakes and they worked great. I prefer to bring a backpack on my back rather than a basket on the rover. As I carry a lot in my bag. Especially, from the store. I had the backpack attached to the front of the rover at first but the rover was stating to tip over front-ways. So, I took it off. It won't tip while you have your knee on it, but I was walking alongside the rover so I could give my arthritic knee a rest. I did find it uncomfortable on my already bad knee if I didn't take sit breaks. Nothing to do with the rover. I just need another knee injection. It was so good to get out of the house today and I'm happy to say that it was because of this amazing rover I could do that. I am extremely happy with my purchase and the shipping. I already recommended this rover to my friends. So, there you are: My happy story with the Knee Rover. I gave 4 stars on the sturdiness because it did tip with too much weight on front and not enough weight on the back. (When I took my bad knee off and walked beside it holding the middle bar.) So, that was my fault. But, it did tip so I wanted to add that. Few tips: Don't add too much weight to the front. Keep your leg well outside of the wheels so you don't catch your leg in the wheel and possible fall. Don't go fast on it. Even though it can coast pretty fast down hills, keep it slow. Don't apply brake pressure too sudden. Slowly pull the levers back to let the rover slow down. Because this one can go pretty darn fast if you are not braking. All in all I am very happy with my purchase. I'm looking forward to my next walk to the lake in a few days. I will put the lessons I learned on my first trip to good use. Thank- you Knee Rover for this wonderful product. And, Thank -you Amazon for getting it to me so fast, and without a scratch.

With an injured foot and doctor’s orders to keep my weight off of it, it quickly became clear that I should get a knee roller or scooter of some kind so I could get around the house without doing further damage to myself. As I won’t need it for more than a month, I didn’t want to spend a fortune on one. My first step was to research my options. I found that one concern people had with EVERY kind of scooter, was being thrown off when encountering an obstacle like a stone on the path or uneven pavement. Forewarned is definitely forearmed. Just go slow. After looking at a variety of rollers, I settled on this KneeRover Economy Scooter, with which I am highly pleased. I received it five days ago, but waited until I needed to use it for a reasonably long “walk” outdoors. Yesterday’s visit to the doctor was the ideal test for outdoor use. I had to navigate uneven pavement to get to my car, and once we arrived at the office, a ridiculously long, poorly designed handicap walkway through the suite of offices to get to the access ramp leading up into my doctor’s office. After that, I had to make my way down a vinyl-tiled aisle to get to reception and the room where my foot splint was re-wrapped. Did all of that safely and comfortably (well, as comfortably as temperatures over 100 and high humidity allow). As a bonus, the med techs re-wrapping me said my foot was perfectly positioned for them to do their work, so I didn’t even need to get off of the scooter. Returning home meant going down the ramp and walkway I’d had to go up before, And finally back over the uneven walkway from my car to my house. The key, whether on carpet, tile, pavement or asphalt, is to go slow and steady while being ready to engage the breaks at any moment, more of an issue for me outside rather than inside, where I barely need to use them on my carpeted floors. The brakes respond instantly, which is excellent. I also partially engaged the brakes to slow progress if the roll down hill was picking up more speed than I wanted, which allowed me to navigate the ramps safely. You can sit sideways on the scooter if needed, provided you lock the brakes to keep it stable. The break locking and releasing mechanisms are easy to work. Assembly was quick, though I suggest you read the instructions over once or twice before getting to work. The product is sturdy and well-made. At 20 or so lbs, the scooter is light enough to lift up and reposition, if needed when remounting. The knee pad is comfortable enough for short jaunts, though for longer ones, you might want to buy a knee pad cover. While this scooter doesn’t have a carry basket, that isn’t an issue for a woman with a deep purse she can hang off the handle bars. Any sort of handled bag would work just as well. Pay attention to the safety instructions and, for long-term use, the maintenance instructions. All in all I highly recommend this product.

Fracture cheville et plâtrée deux mois et demi.J'avais du mal à me servir de mes cannes anglaises car polyarthrite. Donc en achetant cette trottinette celle ci m'a permis une véhiculation plus sereine et j'en été très satisfaite car passant partout et en plus repose jambe en regardant la télévision. J'ai un certain âge et croyez moi j'ai fait une acquisition qui m'a permis de voir les jours moins moroses. Produit de très bonne qualité et montage facile et sécurisant. Je recommande vivement !!!!!!
