KneeRover Economy Knee Scooter Steerable Knee Walker for Adults for Foot Surgery, Broken Ankle, Foot Injuries - Foldable Knee Rover Scooter for Broken Foot Injured Leg Crutch (Blue)

Amazing. I never thought I’d be excited about a piece of medical equipment but this is a game changer. Crutches are awful. With the Rover I can carry a few things, go quicker around the house, and my underarms aren’t burning from crutches. I’m far more stable on the scooter than I was on crutches too. This is a well made product from all I can tell. Nice paint, simple to fold and expand, and the brakes really work. Order the Rover basket and a cup holder and you’ll be in far better shape than you would be with crutches.

Excellent product that is portable and easy to assemble/break-down and allows for increased mobility and helps to reduce fatigue when doing tasks. So glad I was able to get this for my foot surgery recovery.Highly recommend the additional pad that Knee Rover sells to help cushion your leg for extended errands.

I had ankle surgery two weeks ago have one more week before my post op appointment where hopefully my foot to knee splint will be removed and I can start to walk again. I don’t know where I would have been without this! This scooter allows me to get to the bathroom and back to the recliner or bed without assistance. I have learned that I can set the brakes then turn my leg and knee around so that it is resting on the seat perpendicular to the scooter so that I can face the kitchen counter and do a few things in the kitchen. I didn’t buy the basket as my husband insists on him doing everything inside and outside so I can heal. If he wasn’t home all day I would buy the basket so I could do some things by myself. Funny though, I give him “directions” on how to do things but he suddenly gets hard of hearing when I do this 🤔 Our house has some tight doorways so I have to back up and reposition the scooter to get through them but it isn’t hard to do. He invented a ramp so I can go from the kitchen to the dining room but you can buy ramps on Amazon that will allow you to go into rooms that have split levels. The scooter is well made and designed, and very stable especially for the price. I’m glad I got the Knee Rover instead of another brand as the reviews on Amazon for it are correctly rated at 5 stars! I have never folded it so I can’t rate it for fold ability. If you find yourself in a non weight bearing situation on one leg, buy this scooter, it is an absolute necessity and life saver! The other item you really need to buy is a raised toilet seat. That too is an absolute necessity besides the Knee River!Update 1/20/23 The rubber wheels did leave a few black skid marks on our hardwood floors whenever the brakes were locked and the scooter moved. We took a regular Ticonderoga pink eraser and literally erased the black marks off the floor so if you have hardwood floors and have some black skid marks, the eraser works great to remove them!

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.

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.
