Vive Mobility All Terrain Knee Scooter Walker for Foot Injuries - Adult Broken Leg Crutch Cart Roller for Surgery, Broken Foot, Ankle Injury - Kneeling Rolling Steerable Seated Wheel Scooter Aid

I got this for after heel surgery. I figured I would mostly use it here and there and rely on my crutches. Boy was I wrong. I’m so unstable on my crutches I fell 3 times just trying to get into the house! I have been on the knee scooter ever since. Makes everything so much easier. I do recommend getting one that has a bag in front as it makes moving things around a lot easier. The knee pad itself is ok, I appreciate what it does having designed divots in it helps stabilize your knee but it does make it all a bit harder. The brakes are super responsive and sturdy. As an almost 300 pound person, I was concerned about falling off other knee scooters. Not even a concern with this. Relatively easy to assemble. Definitely practice before major use though. Takes a few tries to get comfortable with it. I got the all terrain beefier tires as I live on dirty road and it January and quite snowy. It handles rough terrain pretty well. Being bone weight bearing right now and having some pretty big tire indentations from the cars mixed with ice I was glad my husband was there to help. The turning radius it pretty good. I do have some spots where I have to drag it or work do 7 point turns. But my house is small and tight so honestly it does a great job. Never felt like I was going to fall of it. It’s larger than I thought I was hoping it could fit in a stair as I have 2 I have to get up or down to get out and in the house sadly it’s to large for this. But I do sturdy that I feel this is a good compromise. Definitely feel better using it without the worry of falling off. The handlebars fold down which made it fit in my husbands small suv well, probably would fit in a compact car. Won’t fit in a smart car (moms car). I would recommend practicing this once or twice especially if you have an inpatient husband like mine :)

This product weighs 25lbs. Wonderful. We researched alot of knee scooters and found that this one sounded right. And it is very sturdy with no feeling of falling over. It glides across my wood floors and is easy to maneuver over low pile carpet. I am 71 years old and recently broke my foot. So, I will be using this for at least 3 months up to 6 months, depending on the healing process. My only complaint is that it's missing 1 hub cap. I'm going to try and contact the selller to see if they will send me one, other than that, 5 stars.

I underestimated how hard it is to not put a foot on the ground for 4-6 weeks! This scooter has made some of the everyday things that I need to do much easier. I want to give this knee scooter 5 stars because I do believe that it is better than average. The big air-inflated tires make it feel safe when rolling over uneven terrain, and the hand brakes work really well. I use the brake locking mechanism a lot. If I need to be up in the kitchen, etc., you can lock the brake and have a sturdy “leaning post” under you while you cook, etc. Having the brakes locked also keep the scooter from moving away from you when you are getting out of a chair, etc.My reason for 4 stars instead of five:The seat is extremely hard and is uncomfortable on your leg when you have your full weight on it for more than a few minutes. I would not be able to use the scooter without the extra memory foam pad that I bought for it. I also wish that the seat would go lower. I am 5’6” and with the seat in the lowest setting, my “pushing foot” is on its tip-toes to reach the floor if I want to stand straight up. To push the scooter with a flat foot, I end up having to lean in a position that puts some pressure on my hip, and by the end of the day, my lower back is sore if I have had to be up and around a lot. The last reason is minor but the bag on the front of the scooter is cheap, at best. It won’t open wide enough to put my small purse in. I ended up taking it off and getting a basket for the front.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good warranty, High Quality product, solid.Our other (rental) knee scooters/walkers have been difficult to control at times. This one is a delight by comparison. One great feature is the pin and limiter tabs, that keep the handlebard from going all the way to 90 degrees. It goes to about 60 which is plenty. Why is that good? If it turns directly sideways, there is NO STABILITY in front and the whole thing can topple if the user is not at full strength and balance... and this is for medical rehab, ie people not at full strength and balance ;)Our sample did come with a small paint defect (working on that) and the handlebars were not fully aligned with front axle. But a big bolt allows fixing that. Overall, this is a great purchase.Oh -- and with big inflated knobby tires, it easily goes over any (carpet/etc) floor transition indoors, and likely will be great for outdoor adventures.Will update once we've had an outdoor adventure.

This went together easily without even going through the instructions. The brakes were already adjusted correctly and work pretty well. They are nothing fancy, and just press down on the rear wheels. The wheels are large and pneumatic. They were already inflated. Having larger, air filled tires really helps on rough, gravel surfaces. The build quality appears pretty good with adequate adjustments for those 5'11" and taller. The knee rest may be too high for those much shorter. I had used a borrowed Elenker branded scooter for a a few days before this one arrived, and this one suits my usage much better. If your need a scooter, especially for rougher terrain, I recommend you give this one a try.
