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

Very sturdy. I had a no load bearing injury and used this at max weight capacity+ for 3 months straight and it held up very well. Easy to assemble and fold for transport. The bag was also very useful. Was mostly used over concrete and carpet and was able to move with ease. I lost some of the hubcaps and valve stem covers, but those were mostly just for asthetics so no big deal. Towards the end of use i did find myself filling the tires maybe once every 2 weeks, but remember, i was using it at capacity. The price made it worthwhile since i would have paid the same for a rental. Im 5’8” and felt it may have been a little high at first, but I had gotten used to it. I do wish that maybe the seat angle could have been adjustable instead of fixed. I also bought the gel cushion, but it made it more slippery and uncomfortable for me.

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 :)

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.

This is super sturdy, I’ve been having to use this off and on since October, and it works great. I’m never worried about tipping; even in super muddy conditions that I had to roll through last week due to really bad weather. Would highly recommend to anyone that needs to use one.

The scooter was a game changer when I broke my foot. I love how it’s easy to maneuver. I felt sturdy and steady on. It took a minute to get used to, but was soon zooming all around the house. After about a month it started to squeak and I thought it was the knee pad, but it turned out the tires just needed air.

Overall this is a pretty good knee scooter. PROS: Has real inflatable tires with good tread, making it good for all terrain possibilities. Has a bag on the front to hold stuff, and the seat has grooves to contour to leg both parallel and perpendicular to the seat. CONS: The main reason its getting 3 stars instead of 5 is because the seat is hard as a rock and is not comfortable to use. I am using this scooter with an air cast/boot that goes half way up my shin and the seat is so hard it causes the cast to dig into my leg. I'm 5'3" and I have the seat in the lowest possible position and it is still just slightly too high - I need it like lower 1 more inch to comfortably use it.

Five stars, with a few suggestions for improvement. I purchased this scooter because I was having ankle surgery and needed to remain non-weight bearing for at least 30 days. I chose this model specifically for the larger, air-filled wheels. I travel frequently through airports and knew smaller wheels would increase the risk of tipping. When the scooter arrived, the tires needed air, and I quickly learned that keeping them at 37 psi is essential for smooth riding and good coasting. Before surgery, I tested the scooter to get comfortable with it and noticed that the knee rest was quite firm and not ideal for extended use. I ended up purchasing a gel-filled accessory pad, which made a significant and welcome difference. After surgery, the scooter allowed me to stay very mobile, both around the house and when going out. My main criticism is the handlebar folding mechanism. A crank-style system would be much easier to use than the current setup, and an additional intermediate locking position halfway up the handlebars would be a helpful improvement. Overall, I truly love this product and would absolutely purchase it again without hesitation.

I live in a duplex with 3 floors. I broke my leg. I live on my own. This is all important to the review. If you have to, skip to PRODUCT REVIEW below. A friend is loaning me a knee scooter from another company. I've been using it on the 2nd floor, that's where most of the 'stuff' is (my computer room, including where I've been working from home, the kitchen, one of the bathrooms, the back door where I've asked all deliveries go to). It has worked wonderfully. I've gone from the point where the bone has to fuse together to the point where I have to go to physical therapy (PT). For the 2 followup appointments, I could get rides. I have crutches. I hate crutches. I'm not confident on them. The one time my friend brought the knee scooter downstairs to use, was the best day of my post-leg-break day life. PT means 2-3 appointments per week, which would be a hardship on my friends (or maybe not, I just don't want to put them in that position either way). I decided to buy a scooter for the first floor. I wanted one that would fold up easily, so I could get from the car to the PT place unaided, and back. I hate crutches, but I could use them from the car to the house. I've been using the scooter for over a week now, as of 27/September/2018. PRODUCT REVIEW: I had asked what tools were required for assembly prior to buying this scooter. I got no answer. ASSEMBLY: No tools are required. You just need a lot of floor space to open everything up to get it together. Assembly was very easy. The instructions are super confusing about the lever that locks the folding handlebars in, so I have been screwing the handle to tighten til I can barely swivel it to the top of its niche, and then locking it down. When I want to fold, I unscrew til it can point forward, and use the handle to yank the entire assembly to the side that unlocks. STURDINESS: All of the reviews I've read so far talk about how sturdy this scooter is. When I bought it, there was 1 review that mentioned making turns needed care. I will say the overall unit seems sturdily built (less than 2 weeks after initial use). I broke my left leg, so my left knee rests on the knee pad. Making left turns is a very nervous affair. Going straight is perfect, even over concrete lines. Even over depressed cracks in the pavement. The tires have enough give out-of-the-box to forgive lines and cracks without shifting the steering (the scooter I am borrowing can't say that. I went down a plank ramp and it was like a fight to the finish). Even on right turns, which felt more stable to me, I felt a level of wobbliness that kept me being careful. BRAKES: The brake mechanism...Imagine a piece of metal in this shape: _|--|_. Those legs on the bottom dig directly into the tires from the top. Both handles just make it dig into the tire at different severity, so if you use both, they both dig into the tire. This means that if "The brake needs to be replaced", what it really means is that the tire needs to be replaced because the brakes dig directly into the tire. Also, at first, the scooter makes a sound from the beginning as it's rubbing away the rubber from its first use. I've used it about a half dozen times now. The sound isn't as loud as it was, which is a relief, until you realize that that means that the metal L's have worn away enough rubber to make that noise quieter. SHOULDER BAG: It works, I'll give it that. But you have a leatheresque patch across the back, and have to slide it down 2 locking pins on the steering column. The bag doesn't like that. Possibly, with continued installing/ removing use it will relax more, but so far it's still angry. Plus, every time I pull it out of the car, I have to re-hook the bag on to the scooter. The bag itself has been very sturdy so far, I've put in some serious groceries (and paid for them) without the bag breaking free and falling to the floor...so far. Overall, the scooter gets 3/5 stars.

Absolutely fantastic product. Well designed, solid, comfortable, almost ready to use straight out of the box. Have being using crutches for the last few months, and they are hard work especially over long distances. This scooter requires much less effort, allows travel over longer distances and with reduced chance of falling. Travels easily over gravel, grass and bumpy tarmac. Folds down easily to fit into the back of a car. I would recommend this to anyone with foot, ankle or leg problems

This scooter is well made and feels very good quality. However, it’s quite large for indoor use. I’m 5ft 4in and even on the lowest settings, both the seat and handlebars are still too high for me. I’d say you’d need to be around 5ft 6in or taller to feel comfortable. It’s also worth noting that the tyres need pumping up before first use. The seat is fairly firm as well, so I would recommend purchasing an additional seat cushion for extra comfort. Unfortunately, due to the height, I’ve had to return it as it just wasn’t suitable for me.

I read all the great reviews before I bought this scooter and I am so confused. It’s like I have bought a completely different thing?? I can see that it would be very good for in the house but the minute you get outside it’s a death trap. The first time I used it I went along a pavement that very slightly sloped to one side, I lost my balance and over I went cutting and badly bruising my knee (on the same leg I have a broken ankle!) Today (6 days after the incident) I thought I would give it another try and again just don’t understand how people are using this? It is so unsteady, the minute you go over a bump it is completely off balance and it really takes a lot of effort with your good leg to scoot. You also can’t get very far as the front wheels are in the way of your good leg?? If I could return it I would. Sadly I’ve used it so I can’t.

This knee scooter is great and really good outdoors. The big air filled tyres make it suitable and soft riding outdoors. It loses a star because the knee pad is too hard and uncomfortable, but otherwise it has been a god send instead of using crutches.

I have a broken foot and ribs. I was duschsrged from A&E with crutches and told I could not put any weight on my foot. Horrendous. This scooter has been fantastic. I can wizz round the house and go on hospital check ups without the need to use crutches which caused me a lot of pain. I think the extra knee pad is essintial - the one that comes with the scooter is very lumpy and caused me to bruise my legs but the pad makes it much better. Only other issue is that if, like me, you have large feet the knee pad needs to be set up quite high otherwise the foot gets caught in the back wheels. Otherwise excellent. Folds up tidily to go in the boot too. Well worth the money
