Vive Mobility All Terrain Knee Scooter - Knee Walker for Broken Leg, Foot, Ankle Injuries - Kneeling Quad Roller Cart - Orthopedic Seat Pad for Adult & Elderly

I bought this knee scooter with the idea of adapting it for my own situation. I am an above knee amputee so I thought I’d be able to put a seat on and scoot. It works so incredibly well, I’m over the moon.The scooter frame is strong, the steering good and it is well balanced. The bag is big enough to put a small amount of groceries in or I emptied the dishwasher by putting a few things in the bag at a time. I walk my elderly husky with it, being careful, it is a joy to get out and about in an upright position compared to sitting in a wheelchair all day. I’m looking forward to using it to plant up my greenhouse come the growing season. The big wheels are good on tarmac, gravel and short grass. I can’t comment on using it as a knee scooter as I can’t use it as it was intended to be used, but recommend its sturdiness and usefulness.

This knee scooter is amazing, super easy to put together. Fits in the boot of the car as it folds down. We couldn’t have gone away without it. I thought people would give us funny looks using this but so many people thought it was amazing and had never seen a walking aid like it. A big 6ft2 man is using it as he has injured his leg and will be off it for months, so this is going to be super helpful. Well worth the money!

Very easy to assemble, one push-in fastening and three chunky knobbed bolts, no tools needed. Adjustable for height, robust and stable in use. Sensible lock-on brakes. Useful bag for handlebar stem provided but I have replaced that with a solid wire basket from an old mobility buggy which enables carrying food and drink in suitable containers. When sitting, the transverse depression in the knee trough allows the aid to be used as a rest to elevate a leg.

This product is certainly more comfortable than crutches (I broke my ankle in two places). However, it’s SUPER TALL. Even when the pad is on the lowest setting I need to walk on my tippy toes on my good foot - and I am not short (I’m 5’8”). I would warn short people to measure carefully before purchasing.The device itself is good but a little cumbersome. However, I give 4 stars for sturdiness and maneuverability because each day it’s a little better for me. I expect it just takes practice.Also, be sure you have a tire pump to inflate the wheel (something I did not think about when I ordered it, but it could not be used without the tires being inflated first).Finally, (and this was my own misunderstanding, no fault of the seller) you cannot sit on this scooter and move. You can sit on the seat and rest for a moment, but it really is not built for sitting and scooting. You need to look at the more expensive models if you want to sit and scoot.

Real God send. Complete freedom whilst lower leg in plaster.

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.

I liked the idea of this scooter as I have to be non weight bearing for quite a few months and I thought that this would let me more independent, but the knee rest is to high and I’ve used it haven’t sent it back, but it is definitely something you should bear in mind. It is very sturdy and if the right height would be great for use.

I bought this after 2 weeks of struggling with my crutches following an ankle fracture and surgery. The crutches were destroying my wrists and arms. The scooter means I can get around the house easily, allows me to stand in the kitchen to prepare food and carry things. Gives you some independence and has helped me mentally during the month I had to be non-weight bearing. I haven’t taken it outside much because I have a flight of stairs ti get out the house but it is easy to fold, would likely still need some assistance to get it in and out a car for example. Worth the money to make what could be a miserable time a bit more bearable
