Vive Mobility Knee Walker - Steerable Scooter for Broken Leg, Foot, Ankle Injuries - Kneeling Quad Roller Cart - Orthopedic Seat Pad for Adult and Elderly Medical Mobility - 4 Wheel Crutch

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

Great alternative to crutches - your hands are free to make tea and cook and I couldn’t have managed without it. This model is sturdy and good on smooth floors and carpets. Not good on stony ground. I recommend also purchasing a cushion for your knee as the saddle is very hard.

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.

Immediately felt a sense of relief once I assembled this product and was able to move around the house freely. It is heavy, sturdy and does not have a great turning circle but it is MUCH easier to use than crutches or a walker and allows me to cook, wash-up and many more tasks. The cross channel on the seat is an important feature because it means I can have the the scooter parallel to a work top and kneel on it when I am working in the kitchen or have it parallel to the sofa and use the scooter as a footstool to elevate my leg. On the second day I had it I was able to go outside to to the postbox ten minutes walk away and post my vote. This scooter needs a bit of care to use in tight spaces in the house or uneven pavements but I am so glad I got it! The only slight glitch was it took me a few minutes to realise that, in order to use the "handbrake" function on my example, both brakes had to be applied simultaneously.

I had foot surgery and this knee scooter is an ideal mobility aid especially as I have arthritis in my wrists and couldn’t have managed with crutches or sticks alone. Very pleased with the quality although you really need the sheepskin knee pad to go with it.

Excellent on a smooth surface. However, unfortunately not stable on uneven surfaces. Front wheels can be stopped very easily, by any uneven tiles obstruction, causing one wheel to stop and the other to continue, throwing you out of balance and putting alot of strains on the injured foot. And the seat design is comfortable. However, it's too stiff; if one has been on it for long, it starts being so uncomfortable on the knee

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.

A week of using crutches into 6 weeks of non weight bearing due to an open fibula fracture and I was fed up so thought this would be easier. It’s been life changing so far. I can now use my hands to carry things in and I can get around the house much faster. It’s very sturdy and dead easy to build. I went to hospital for my stitches removal on it and everyone I met asked me where I had bought it from. Worth every penny.

Pros: Sturdy, well made, easy to assemble Cons: Heavy (injured person cannot lift / transport to car) No easy reverse due to wide turning radius - hard to do in narrow hallway Does't come apart easily for transport so works in one location best Turning radius is Wide - so navigating a house with lots of turns in hallways requires some back and forth seat doesn't adjust easily with a pin so can't be quickly popped up or down to adjust to various daily activities between scooting and seating. This would be a vastly more helpful machine if the seat was adjustable. Seat is hard and has weird grooves in it so unless you have a foam cushion on it, it would hurt one's skin and muscles to be on it. In my opinion, the grooves don't make sense. They require your knee to be in one specific location vs. adjusting right or left or forward / back to actually conduct life activities.

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.

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.

I absolutely love this piece of equipment. Its solid and dependable and does exactly what I expected from it. I'm supposed to stay off my leg and this Knee Scooter takes all the worry out of my mind when I need to leave the house. It also stands in for a leg prop when im sitting and need to elevate my leg. If I'm waiting in line in a public place it also stands in for a chair to sit on until the line moves so your not standing on one leg for long periods of time. The bag is a super plus because it easily attaches to the from of the scooter and lifts right off. it can be used as a cross body bag since it has a long strap. I love the solid feel and quality of this Scooter...

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.
