Description
The Drive Economy Folding Knee Walker, item RTL799, is a four-wheel knee scooter for someone recovering from a foot or lower-leg injury.
What does it do and how does it work?
- The injured leg rests on a padded knee platform; the other leg pushes and you steer by the handlebar.
- Dual rear on-wheel hand brakes slow it, and a push-button parking lock in the handbrake holds it still.
- Four 8 in (203 mm) wheels on a frame 16 in (41 cm) wide and 30 in (76 cm) long turn tightly in hallways.
- The knee pad and handlebar adjust without tools.
- The frame folds at a centre hinge and weighs 19.5 lb (8.8 kg).
- It carries up to 350 lb (159 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits recovery from a foot or lower-leg injury, when you cannot put weight on one foot.
- For balance with both feet on the ground, choose a two-wheeled walker instead.
- It carries one person; it is not a passenger scooter.
Will it fit?
- The knee pad adjusts from 16.75 to 23.25 in (42.5 to 59 cm) and the handlebar from 31.5 to 41 in (80 to 104 cm).
- The pad is 12.5 x 7.25 x 2 in (31.8 x 18.4 x 5.1 cm).
- Measure from the floor to your knee and to your wrist in your usual shoes; both numbers must sit inside the ranges. Our free home assessment checks them with you.
- The retail box is 20.5 x 15.35 x 15 in (52 x 39 x 38 cm), and folded the frame stands upright in a car boot.
Using it day to day
- Set the knee pad and handlebar before you ride.
- Use both brake levers to slow down, and press the parking lock before you get on or off.
- Ride on smooth, firm ground; gravel, grass and snow are not suitable.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- The capacity is 350 lb (159 kg), for one person.
- Replacement parts include the knee pad (95021S79912), the handbrake and cable (95021S79910), and wheels in a 6-spoke (95021S79909) or 3-spoke (95021S79909N) version.
- The warranty is limited lifetime, including the brake cable.
How does it compare?
- The MOBB Knee Walker is the other knee walker we stock.
- A two-wheeled walker keeps both feet on the ground and adds balance without a knee platform.
- Our knee walker range lists both models.
We deliver and set up across Toronto and the GTA, setting the knee pad and handlebar. Our service team handles repairs and spare parts.
