Vive Mobility All Terrain Knee Scooter Walker for Foot Injuries - Adult

I have been using a knee scooter for years and this one is by far the best! Extremely sturdy, great tires and travels well.

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.

I broke my ankle and found I needed something other than crutches. So I began looking at scooters. This one really caught my eye for multiple reasons. One is its weight capacity. I weigh around 280lbs and wanted a high weight capacity scooter. I also noticed several comments about the scooter being too tall. Well, that was music to my ears, as I’m 6’6” tall.When the scooter arrived, I was very pleased with how easy it was to assemble. No tools needed. The handlebars and seat height were easy to adjust.I like the large, pneumatic tires. They allow it to easily roll over gravel or other debris that might cause smaller, hard plastic wheels to suddenly stop and cause a fall. The tires came fully inflated. I’ve used it several days and have noticed no need to add any air.I have found that it takes a lot of room to make turns. I suspect that if the front wheels were allowed to turn any sharper it would affect the scooter’s stability. Speaking of stability, I find this scooter to be very stable which adds to the safety factor.The knee pad is just okay as comfort goes. I did purchase the optional pad cushion, which for me was really needed. I deducted one star because this.I do like the choice of colors. I chose the blue option, as I thought it looked best.Overall, especially if you’re tall and heavy, this is the scooter to get.

Well built/sturdy. A great mobility option while recovering from leg surgery.

I am a stocky 205 pound man, and I am very happy with the product. It is beefy enough for me to roll around the gravel with a little effort. Overall pleased with the ease of setup, and quality. It is a bit unstable on the slightest of side hill use, but that is the trade-off with it being narrow enough to get through a doorway. Overall pleased with the sturdyness and ease of folding.

After I broke my leg in a fall and ended up in a lower leg cast, I ordered the Vive scooter, and I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it is a godsend, and makes it much easier and less stressful to get around the house than being on crutches. The downside is primarily that it does not do well outdoors on rough surfaces such as bricks, sidewalks, paving stones, transitions, and I have wiped out several times with it. (i.e.tipped over and crashed)For example, I visited a motel yesterday, and when slowly turning on a transition from flooring to carpeting in the hallway, I tipped over and totally wiped out with it. This happened on several other occasions where there were bumps, irregularities, grooves, flooring or paving transitions, or other minor path hazards. Luckily I was never hurt. Let me also add, that in lumbering around my house, I also fell with my crutches a few days ago.The source of the problem with the Vive may be that the front wheels are too small. You have to concentrate when you are using the Vive, and pay close attention to the surface over which you are traveling.Some others have mentioned that the rear wheel axle bolt can scrape sharply on your ankle, if you have the misfortune to scrape against it. It's too bad the unit does not have protective hubcaps to guard against the sharp, cutting abrasion of the allen bolt, a simple fix.All that being said, I feel in the last week that I could not have "survived" without the Vive. I was able to (carefully) go up and down steps and curbs, go into restaurants and restrooms, gas stations, and other accommodations with relative ease. But it really helps to have an assistant to put the scooter in your car and take it out when you need it, although I AM able to do that myself with some effort.I am six foot 2 and 61 years old. Kind of silly to have a leg break at this stage of the game...but the Vive, in my view, is well worth the $159 price for what you get. The bag has been VERY practical and useful, a must-have. As for the height factor about which others have complained. Yes...at 6 foot 2, I was most comfortable with the unit at its LOWEST setting -- seat all the way down, handlebars set pretty low, so if you are SHORTER than I am, I could see how the fit might not be the best for you.Please note, that once you set the height of your handlebars, there is a lockdown handle that you must tighten and close to insure the handlebar is not shaky. It's not particularly easy to tighten the little nut in there, and it took me quite some time to figure this out!I have found no other unit on the market like this, so this seems to be the way to go, despite the "pitfalls".

What a great knee Scooter. Put it together in 10 to 15 minutes. Feels very durable, easy to ride over any terrain. Very happy with the purchase. Got a seat cushion for it which seems like a good add in

I have been through a lot of foot/ankle procedures over the last 10 years and have another in the near future. My original Knee Rover (original version, not all-terrain) needed a new knee pad and new brakes so I decided to buy two new ones: one for home and one for the car so I wouldn’t have to drag the one back and forth. I bought this Vive scooter as well as a Knee Rover all terrain with honeycomb tires. Having tried all three I definitely have thoughts. The Vive scooter is by far the easiest to put together and the pneumatic tires offer the most cushioning—definitely important. I also love the soft attached bag. My original Knee Rover had the metal basket and while I loved being able to but things in it l, it definitely got in the way, especially for things like cooking. For those reasons the Vive is almost a clear winner but has two major problems. The biggest is that even the lowest knee pad setting is too high for me at 5’6”, which is not short for a woman. It will not be a big deal with some thick-soled running shoes but it’s definitely a no-go to use barefoot or with slippers—which is what I wear in the house. The handlebar needs to be able to be adjusted just a tad lower as well. So with those drawbacks, it was an easy choice to designate this Vive scooter as the car scooter and use the new Knee Rover in the house. It also helps that the Vive is a tiny bit lighter as well and will be easier to take in and out of the SUV. It’s super stable and easy to navigate. I also love that it has the two locks for the brakes as compared to the Knee Rover’s one—making it a lot safer to navigate on and off of. So, bottom line is that it’s great—if you are a tallish person.Update: this knee scooter is the worst!!! Tired to use it to actually go some distance rather than the 10-20 foot increments I had been using it for. The high knee placement made it virtually impossible to use. I was panting, in pain and having to stop every 3 minutes. Do not buy

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

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

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.

I am thrilled with this purchase, I have managed to attend a 3 day conference and comfortably make my way round the hotel and conference centre, faster than most of those walking!Back at home it helps me quickly get around inside and out. I wish the black had been available but being pink hasn't affected the performance!!It can be hard on the kneeling leg muscles if doing a long distance but, although not recommended to ride sitting down, with the brake on it is perfectly sturdy to sit and catch your breath or take the weight of your feet whilst out and about.I would highly recommend this scooter.

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.
