RINKMO Knee Scooterï¼Å’Steerable Knee Walker Economical Knee Scooters for Foot Injuries Best Crutches Alternative (Blue 1)

I had surgery on my left foot and am not allowed to put weight on it for a month. It became clear very quickly that my shoulders and chest muscles were not on board with using a walker or crutches for that amount of time. I was worried about using this because the side I can’t walk in is also the site of a knee replacement. However, the pad works well and for short distances the kneeling doesn’t seem to bother it. Putting the scooter together was not the easiest thing we’ve ever done, but it still only took about 20 minutes. One of the holes didn’t match up perfectly and needed a little more force to push its bolt through but in the end it feels solid. It took a few tries to set the height of the handles and the knee pad but once set it’s working very well. I definitely recommend if you’re in a situation where you can’t put weight on your foot and don’t have the upper body strength to continuously use a walker or crutches.Update: this worked well for the time I used it for, but a few words to the wise. The bolts should be checked regularly as with regular use they do loosen up and make the scooter less stable. Also care needs to be taken on uneven pavement - catching a rock with the wheels can unbalance it. But I’d still recommend it if you need to stay off a lower limb for longer periods of time.

Had ankle surgery. No weight bearing for weeks! This was light weight. Easy to put together. Easy to put in car. Worked great on tiles, little more difficult on carpet but still worked well. Great value for price and much easier than waiting for insurance to approve/deny. Very glad I bought this. I did purchase a thicker pad for knee area.

I assembled this quickly and easily. So the step up process was an ease, my only concern is that it doesn't feel as sturdy. I tried tightening up the screws but I still feel it sorta loose feeling. Any how, I bought this for my brother who just had surgery on his left foot. I will say it may not be for long term use but it works for something short term. This allows my brother to be independently mobile at his home.

I bought this knee walker to help me get around while I'm dealing with an ankle injury. As expected, it isn't ideal for uneven terrain or big bumps, but it's fine on level concrete. I use it to walk my dog, and it's not 100% stable when he pulls strongly to one side, but I don't know if any knee walker could perform better.

Pros: easy to assemble, no tools needed; dual brake actuators; removable front basket, price, light weight.Cons: bolts need to be tightened after use, especially the ones that hold the seat on. Frame squeaks during use. Small tires, does not like to go over small bumps including area rugs. Brake system does not hold both rear tires. Seat is rough against knee. Seat started splitting after three weeks, had to buy a cushioned cover. Hooks that hold front basket. This scooter is meant for inside use only, better on smooth surfaces.
