Questions & Answers
Every day, I scoot up 15 stairs backwards, but my husband does not fold the scooter before bringing it up and down the stairs. It isn't heavy at all, weighing only about 20 pounds.
On a wood floor, the wheels are fine.
I don't think you'll need to replace the pads. Bring the scooter to a bicycle repair shop, and the brakes will be adjusted. This is something I do with mine all the time, and it only takes a few minutes.

3–6 months of weight-bearing The crutches make me feel uneasy, and I frequently lose my balance while using them. I made the decision to buy this scooter after reading several reviews. The product arrived on time, with easy-to-follow illustrated instructions that made putting together the scooter a breeze. I found the scooter to be quite sturdy, and the nylon basket has plenty of storage space. It works well on smooth floors and carpet with a low pile. The scooter squeaks like crazy, which is my only complaint. I've only had the scooter for two months, but I'm already enjoying how simple it is to get around my house on it.
I'm so glad I ordered this mobility bike because I had foot surgery and couldn't put any weight on it, so I needed a way to keep my foot up, stay mobile, and independent, and this was a godsend. I had knee surgery a year ago and then needed ankle surgery; it was simple to put together and I am now able to get around my house without the help of others; this bike has a padded bike seat, which is ideal given my previous knee surgery; a basket for essentials; I can go to my kitchen and get my food and beverages while keeping my phone close by; and I can return to my living room without assistance; it is so easy to navigate from room to room; great purchase; I would recommend this to anyone.
There is a persistent problem with the brakes failing to hold. Finally, we think we've got them working, but they've been a pain since we started using the scooter a month and a half ago. The scooter also has a lot of squeaks, which get louder as the weather changes. The seat and frame, for example, must be lubricated on a regular basis. Regardless of these issues, the scooter has been a huge help since I got a cast on my left foot on September 29th, 20. It is portable, simple to use, and practical. br>A seat cover (to soften the seat for the knee that relies on it for comfort) and a cup holder are two essential accessories.
So I had a problem with my foot and couldn't walk without it hurting. This scooter was purchased and found to be simple to assemble and operate. I ended up in the hospital for foot surgery, but thanks to this handy scooter, I was able to avoid being bedridden. I could easily get up and use it to go to the bathroom or walk down the hospital corridor. Every single medical professional who backed me up thought it was a fantastic tool. Some even suggested that the hospital consider providing patients with this scooter. We had a few nurses interested in trying it out to see if they could share it with other patients, and they found it to be very simple to turn, balance, and use. They were taken aback when I told them how much it would cost. I don't think I'll need to buy another, but if I did, I'd get this one right away.
During the first week of use, the right hand brake spring broke. The wheels were something I had never considered. On a paved surface, these wheels are extremely difficult to use. A pebble, a piece of landscaping bark, and room transition molding (outdoors to in, carpet to hardwood) have all caused me to come dangerously close to falling. This is the scooter for you if you only plan to use it inside on smooth floors or a flat carpet. br>I would recommend a different scooter if you want to go for a "walk," enter a building, or scoot around a store.
This scooter has nothing but good things to say about it. After breaking my foot, I found crutches to be inconvenient and my underarms to be sore. With the help of this handy, simple-to-assemble scooter, I'm able to get around with relative ease once more. The little front basket, as cheesy as it may appear, is a game changer when it comes to self-esteem. the state of being sufficient (Crutches appear to be cool until you realize you can't move around and carry something at the same time. ) ) The only drawbacks are: 1) while the knee rest is well-padded and comfortable, it has a poor off-center position. 2) that there is no "lock" function if you just want to pause and stand — if you aren't strong enough to stand comfortably on just one leg, you'll have to manually use the hand brakes to keep it from moving. But, for the price, it was well worth it, and it increased my mobility tenfold while remaining very easy to maneuver and control. This is a must-have for anyone suffering from foot or ankle problems; highly recommended!.
I am not going to participate. 3 months of weight-bearing It was less expensive to buy these scooters than to rent one from my local DME company because of the reasonable pricing. It was simple to put together, and it's simple to use and navigate. The basket is fantastic for assisting with self-sufficiency. It's so simple to drive that you can do it with just one hand, and the large turning radius makes it easy to squeeze into tight spaces. It's small and light, and it's simple to adjust if you need to turn around while riding the scooter. The only disadvantage is that it is difficult to fold down to fit into a car, but I have an SUV, so I don't have to. As a result, we haven't had any problems.
