KneeRover GO Hybrid - Most Compact All Terrain Knee Scooter for Adults for Foot Surgery Heavy Duty Knee Walker for Broken Ankle Foot Injuries Recovery Leg Scooter Best Knee Crutch Alternative (Green)

I do not write reviews unless I am really impressed. I am an ER physician who managed to fall off a ladder and fracture my heel. I was very limited in my ability to use crutches and even had a fall using them on my first day following my injury. I went to a medical supply place locally and purchased a floor model Roscoe. I don’t recommend using a medical supply shop as they are notorious for overcharging. The model I got was very good. It was very sturdy and was rated for 350 pounds. But Roscoe doesn’t offer a locking brake and the turning radius made maneuvering in the house awkward as I frequently had to either backup and turn or lift the front end and reposition to make turns even around an island in the kitchen. The PVC wheels were sturdy, but made going over door thresholds painful as every bump and crevice was transferred to my painful foot. My second purchase was an Elenker as it had 2 hand brakes that were advertised to lock. My assumption was that all four wheels would brake —they don’t. Only the rear wheels would brake and the mechanism of a metal bar clamping down on the wheel is far inferior to a drum brake that Roscoe had or this KneeRover Hybrid. Furthermore the locking mechanism was simply garbage and although the brakes would lock, the bar didn’t touch the wheel and it simply didn’t work. Very disappointed with Elenker, the only aspect that had any redeeming quality was the turning radius permitted me to make that turn around the kitchen island. Assembly of the Elenker was a little challenging with my injury and revealed far inferior construction compared to the Roscoe and to the KneeRover Hybrid. On my third attempt to get a knee scooter I paid the extra money for the KneeRover Hybrid. There is another Knee Rover that costs less that is identical in all respects except with all four PVC wheels instead of the front pneumatic wheels. The pneumatic wheels made a remarkable difference in absorbing those cracks and door thresholds. At first I was concerned because there seemed to be too much play in the scooter moving from side to side. After inspecting the tires I realized the tires were under inflated. Adding air to those tires solidified the scooter and the side rocking was gone. This scooter is STURDY. It is well made. The turning radius was perfect without making the unit at risk for tipping with turns. The brakes are a dream. They work and lock perfectly. I was so impressed I purchased a second unit to keep in my car so I can bolt out the door to go to work without delaying for collapsing the scooter for transport. This is the one to get. It is mostly assembled and well packed. The only thing lacking so far is the front basket, but this can be purchased separately as well as a perfectly matching memory foam topper for the knee saddle. Get this one. You won’t be disappointed.

Had my ankle replacement a week ago. This thing is a lifesaver. Solid, well designed, easy to pick up front on tight corners. The larger front wheels make it easy to get over all our throw rugs, thresholds, etc. I LOVE it and especially the basket and seat cover! Great support from the company too for my one question. So light my weak, 80 yr old wife can put it in the back of our SUV, only have to fold the handle bar down. Followup: just took four flights with it; easy to drop seat, fold down handlebar and gate check, HOWEVER when you fold the handlebar down, just a few times it loosens the two screws in the hinge and the handlebar wobbles, so you have to keep your Allen wrench handy to tighten them. This is pretty bad design. It takes A LOT of strength and a long handle Allen wrench to tighten them. At the same time it makes it very hard to fold the handle bar because it's so tight then. Tech support told me the solution is to keep them tight. They need a better design for the hinge.

It is a very nice sturdy scooter, not cheaply made. I like the fact that the front tires are air filled and not plastic. You can adjust everything so you can fit it to your body no matter your size. I like that the knee cushion is contoured and it’s a good size, not too narrow. The only problem I have is the cushion is way too hard, like a brick! I haven’t had my surgery yet so I may have to figure something out to cushion it more. There may be a reason it’s as hard as it is so we will see. I read the reviews on the memory foam pad for this model and they were not good. It is still nice enough that I’m giving 5 stars and would recommend it.

I ordered this model because I wanted the all terrain tires; not because I plan to go off-roading, but because they are altogether better for any surface, and make getting over thresholds and rug edges easy. In that respect and most others, this scooter does not disappoint. It is definitely rugged and well made but still light enough to pick up easily. Its maneuverability is great, within the limitations of a device like this. I read one review that complained the front wheels don't turn far enough, but if they turned any further, the scooter would be unstable. I have never felt uncomfortable about the stability of this scooter, and I zip around all sorts of corners at speed. The "bed" where your knee rests is padded, but my bony knee gets sore and requires further padding; this is probably a matter of individual preference/sensitivity. The brake works well, and the "parking" brake is terrific; I can set it with one hand, and end up with a stable platform instead of a scooter. Why did I deduct a star? First, the price is very high, and at the very least it should have included a basket or bag. I ordered a basket and find it an essential for the scooter. Second, the foldability of the scooter is not as easy as it would seem. Even following YouTube videos I struggle. The front handle folds back easily enough, but getting it into a little bundle is another issue, and not that easy. Finally, the brakes occasionally bind slightly, resulting in an intermittent squeak - a couple of drops of 3-in-1 takes care of that, though. Despite those few shortcomings, I highly recommend this scooter, with a basket, if you are going to be non-weight bearing for even a short time. It gives me the ability to carry things around the house and to stand at a counter with my hands free to work and my weight distributed evenly between both legs rather than on one leg only. And getting up in the middle of the night with only crutches would be a nightmare. I wouldn't want to be without this scooter.

Una Maravillosa compra. Me saco de muchos problemas

Purchased after rupturing achilles tendon and having this scooter helped to make the best of the situation!!!

After many hours studying the various knee scooters on the market I decided to purchase this scooter after breaking my ankle a few weeks ago. Meet my 'Green Goddess!' lol It's not cheap but I needed something that folds down super easily and small for travel so we can take in the car in 5 weeks time to France for a our holiday. 3 adults, 1 dog and a car load of stuff! Using crutches continuously is simply not sustainable especially when I would like to be able to freely go further with my family, pop to the local shop, do more things in the house and simply give me back a small amount of independence which is one of the toughest things to ensure when you are non weight bearing for weeks on end. It's light weight, has a good break and turn. wheels are quite sturdy - 2 large at front and 2 smaller at back. I bought a good bike basket off Amazon as the company itself is rubbish and does not offer any accessories in the UK and sadly only model that doesnt come with anything extra (@Knee Rover - do better please!) It takes a little practice, i find it quite hard on my knee/leg as I have a long injury boot plus my has triggered my sciatic nerve slightly but it is well made and has a good gel padding compared to other models I've read about. I'm 5'4, size 10 and fits well to my height/weight. Good luck everyone who like me didnt even know these existed until I broke my ankle! lol

Super für ältere, oder besonders schwere oder sehr schwache Menschen, die einen Fuß nicht belasten dürfen. Zum Beispiel nach einer OP und wo die Menschen aber nicht mit Krücken/ Unterarmgehstützen gehen können. Können wir nur empfehlen. Der Roller war schon zweimal genau dafür im Einsatz und ist ein wahrer Segen. Auch gut anwendbar für Leute in kleiner Wohnung. Passt überall durch.

Wish I'd bought this from week 1 of my injury. Made getting around so much easier. Took it on holiday, and made getting around so much easier. Glides around in inside spaces with ease eg shopping centers, airport, hospital. Works well outdoors too. I took it to the beach, the park, the school run, supermarket ect. If also use it as a leg rest or a seat whilst out. Folds away with ease and I was able to lift it up whilst balancing on one leg. There's a velcro strap at the front, I used it to attach my crutches so if I needed to go up or down stairs, my husband would carry the scooter and I'd uses the crutches or I'd ask someone for help .this was perfect as I was able to get around to almost everywhere
