There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
(For comparison purposes, I’m a 56 year old female, 5’2”, 125 lbs.)
1. Invest in an air-tire model, or buy 9” air tires for your model, the extra cost is worth it. The hard rubber front wheels throw your balance off with every sidewalk crack or parking lot pebble. I ordered the air tires from the Knee Rover website after my 3rd mishap ($90) and it’s been smooth rolling ever since switching out the hard rubber tires for the more forgiving air tires.
Note: if you try to remove the rubber tires, first REMOVE THE SET SCREW before installing the 9” air tires.
2. The folding-parts options of the GO scooter model are too cumbersome to use. Fortunately, this is a small, lightweight model, so I can load it into my car fully set up. The negative to having the folding option and not using it is that the levers catch on things when loading, and they loosen over time, requiring periodic retightening. In hindsight, the smallest, lightest non-folding model would have suited me better, and being able to add air tires later means the less expensive model could be altered to work as well or better than the pricier “hybrid” model.
Notes on Loading/Driving Left-footed: I roll up to the driver’s door, open it and then lean back against the open door for support while balancing on my left (good) foot and picking up the scooter and putting it, handle bars first, front tires down, on the driver’s seat (which is fully scooted back from the dash, and with the seat back fully reclined). Then I put my right knee on the seat and get in and above the scooter so I can lift it over to the passenger seat (which is also fully reclined, but with the seat pulled all the way forward towards the dash). If I have any bags on my handlebars when going to the car, they either go in the back first, or I put them on the floor of the driver’s side during the loading process, then I put them on the back seat before getting off my knee and sitting down. Then I put my bad, right foot on the pulled-forward passenger seat, in front of the (front) scooter wheels, which rest in the seat crack, with the back wheels up, leaning over and resting against the passenger window (handlebars are resting at the top of the reclined seat, over the back seat). This leaves an unobstructed footwell for my left foot to operate the brake and gas pedals without getting tangled up with my bad right foot. Then I put a lumbar pillow behind me and put on my seatbelt before bringing my seat back all the up.
Caution: Be careful to steady the scooter when making sharp right turns so gravity doesn’t cause the scooter, resting back-wheels-up on the passenger window, to flop over on your arm.
3. A child-size bike basket, installed facing you (not out), is the third hand you need when one (or two) hands are required to steer your scooter. I’ve used this small basket for everything from drying and putting away the silverware to placing items there I don’t want to forget to move the next time I get up. Groceries, work files, phones and tablets, extra clothes, TP rolls... they all are conveniently carried along as I go about my daily routine.
Note: keep the bike basket small; if installed in front of the handlebars, you limit your access to pulling up to things (the shower, refrigerator, nightstand next to your bed, etc), plus it will make loading the scooter into your car more challenging. I found this hook on/off child-size Biria model on Amazon and it fits the knee scooter handlebars perfectly. It’s small but mighty, easy to remove (I never do), doesn’t impede my scooter space, and doesn’t affect my loading process. I would be lost without it.
4. The Knee Rover-brand cup holder is probably not strictly necessary, but I have found it to be very convenient, and it holds my 20-oz insulated tea tumbler and 16 oz coffee tumbler securely.
Note: I installed mine under my bike basket, facing me, using the ridged side of some Velcro tape around the scooter shaft, and the soft side of the tape on the bracket grips. This provides some shock absorption and keeps the bracket from sliding or sagging, and holds everything firmly in place.
5. A bell is helpful. I work in a professional office, and I read a lot of Amazon bike bell reviews searching for “quiet”. I found some negative reviews for this Paliston bike bell, due to it being too quiet. Bingo! Just what I needed. In a quiet office, this bell tone is muted, tasteful, and respectful of others’ space. I merely want to gently let others know I’m noiselessly approaching so they don’t inadvertently step back into me, without startling people and disrupting the environment. This bell is perfectly suited to an office environment, and as a bonus, the green one even matches my GO scooter. It’s super easy to install (they even provide the mini-screw driver), and the dinging-lever turns to any angle that suits you.
In summary:
1. Air tires provide way more stability
2. A small, lightweight, simple scooter is best
3. A small, backward-facing basket is essential
4. A cup holder is nice
5. A bell is helpful

Mobility is greatly enhanced. Has hand brake plus a brake lock. Brake lock makes seat a stable platform.
very maneuverable, with smooth wheels & turning radius for our somewhat narrow hallways.
Lightweight but sturdy. Easy for my husband, age 89, to put in back of our Jeep. We will not be giving this one away.
This is definitely not a device that you should use at more than a slow walking speed, unless you're in a mall or some other place with a very flat floor. The bump steering is atrocious. That is, if you go over the slightest bump with one front wheel, it will cause it to have a sudden, radical steering change. I'm thinking if they had put more or any caster on the front/steering wheels then it would be more stable. I don't really want to go fast, of course, but I would like more stability. Even if stable, with a bad foot, you don't want to go fast because a spill would be very bad for your foot. But also because spills are so critical, more stability would be nice.
-------UPDATE: After more experience, my worries about stability were over stated. I most often use this to take me from where I park my car to the place where I have to work a few times a week. That journey is in a city with uneven sidewalks and pretty hilly. Everywhere else I've used it has been a lot smoother and I think those places would be better terrain to judge this on. I'm realizing that the terrain I used this on most was an outlier. I guess you don't notice the roughness when you're walking and don't have a broken heel. Therefore, I'm upgrading this from three to four stars. I think my criticisms are still valid but I weighted that too much compared to the other features.--------
I bought this because it folds up and can fit in the trunk of my sports car (boxster, so front trunk is deep). It fits very nicely, even keeping the steering bar in place.
The folding is complicated. This is not a matter of pulling it out of the trunk pushing a button and everything is unfolded. There are several things to do and some are slightly tricky. But, I've got a broken heel, I can be patient.
Mine came with the brake out of adjustment. The device has a "parking brake" of sorts. If you clamp the brake and push a little pin, it's supposed to keep the brakes clamped. Mine as delivered needs to be adjusted so that the brake is actually clamping when the pin is set. As delivered it holds the brake handle slightly closed but not enough that the brake shoe contacts the drum.
Over all, I like it. It's not too expensive for keeping weight off my foot, and it certainly beats crutches, but you have to be very careful using it on uneven sidewalks (especially down hill) such as when traveling along city blocks.
-------UPDATE: I get a lot of favorable comments about the color!--------

I had foot surgery and will not be able to walk or put any weight on my foot for 3 months.
My arms and hands hurt so bad from crutches. This has made getting around a breeze.
Fantastic customer service too. I would highly recommend KneeRover if you are non weight bearing for any length of time.
Thank you KneeRover 😊
