   I have had both knees replaced so I can not kneel on a standard kneescooter. I recently had one shoulder replaced so I can not use crutches and using a walker causes shoulder pain. I also have upcoming foot & ankle surgery and was desperate to find a suitable means of getting around the house post-surgery. After reading many reviews, I decided to order this. It came one day after being ordered! I put is together with absolutely zero problems in about 10 minutes. No need to refer to assembly instructions as far as I am concerned. Once assembled, I tested it around the house. Here is my assessment.1. It was extremely easy to assembly, requiring no tools other than my hands.2. It rolls extremely easy. It coasts almost from one end of the house to the other with almost no effort.3. It does require several “3-point turns” to maneuver in tight spaces without bumping into or against furniture or doorways. But it is easily maneuverable.4. It does not roll easily on carpet. It rolls great on hardwood and tile floors.5. Rolling over any slight height discontinuities in the floor causes the handlebars to jerk hard due to the short handlebars, but that is a problem with physics not the design. Lengthening the handlebars to reduce the jerking would cause the scooter to be less maneuverable in tight spaces. This jerking does cause some stress in my newly replaced shoulder.6. It is very easy to mount and dismount.7. The one drawback I could find is the low location of where the supplied basket attaches to the stem of the handlebars. When turning the handlebars, the basket bumps against the affected leg resting on the foot support, limiting the amount of turn of the scooter in that direction. Rather than using the two welded-on hooks on the handlebar stem, I zip-tied the basket to the handlebars and handlebar stem which raised the basket about six inches. I used 4 zip-ties – two on the handlebars and two on the handlebar stem. This gave a very stable attachment of the basket and permitted the front wheels to turn without bumping into the affected leg. Photos are attached.Will I like it following my surgery when I’m not permitted to place ANY weight on the newly operated foot for six weeks? Time will tell. Would I buy it again knowing what little I do at this short time after it arrived? Absolutely! Plus, it is fun to scoot up and down the hallway in the house. Even we elderly folks like to have fun every now and then!UPDATE: It’s now almost two weeks following my foot surgery and I consider this scooter to be a blessing in my life. It has eliminated the need for a wheelchair and walkers (with the exception of a very small bathroom that I use). It is very easy to use and getting around is now fun (under the post-surgery aspects). Knowing what I now know about this scooter, I would not hesitate one second to buy it again! One suggestion for improvement is the company may consider providing as an accessory a rotating “paddle” rather than the rod for resting the affected foot. The rod becomes uncomfortable after resting your affected foot on it for a while whereas a paddle, similar to what is used on wheelchairs, would spread the weight of the affected foot more on the back of the lower leg rather than the heel or the arch.UPDATE: It has now been nearly 8 weeks since my foot surgery and I have used this scooter almost every day. It has served me fantastically. I did have one minor issue about which I contacted Knee Rover. They were extremely understanding and helpful and resolved the issue quickly and in a manner that honestly exceeded my expectations. GREAT customer service! And a great product. Well worth the price! Accordingly I just increased the overall rating to 5 stars.

   I should have saved my knee and bought this months ago! Easy to assemble, lightweight, and durable! Sure wish the VA carried this seated knee scooter in addition to the kneeling scooter. I had knee replacement on the leg that will be operated on and the knee replacement left my knee VERY TENDER. This scooter does not bother either knee and is actually fun to ride. Thank you Knee Rover for an awesome product for us older, not too steady, heavier adults who don’t want to give up yet. So easy to assemble. Don’t hesitate, buy it now! 10/10 stars.After using it for a couple days I am amazed at how comfortable it is, and how much better my knee feels since I am not on it all the time. This scooter is the next best thing to a wheelchair, and this is Fun!It has been a month of using this scooter and it is still the best thing I have ever tried. I am getting exercise on the one leg and my bad foot is feeling better because I have not been on it 90% of the time.Great scooter!! Get one.

   This seat scooter has made my moving about my home much easier than using a wheel chair. I recently had a couple of accidents in which I had broken my foot and both wrists within a two month time frame. I am not supposed to put any weight on my foot, and a knee scooter had been recommended. I did not feel stable or comfortable on one due to my wrist injuries, and how my leg felt kneeling on a knee scooter with a cast on it. This seat scooter became the perfect alternative. It rolls easily on smooth floors. It does take more effort to roll on carpet. Making turns in tight areas takes some back and forth maneuvering but in time it becomes easy. I also like how I can sit on it at the kitchen counter to eat, etc. This scooter has given me back my freedom to move about on my own during my healing process. Overall, it’s a good product to consider when movement is limited due to foot and leg injuries.

   Te va a cambiar la vida
   Si tienes una cirugía de rodilla, y no puedes poner peso sobre ella, como es mi caso, este producto te va a cambiar la vida. Me permite movilidad autónoma en mi casa, y no necesito ayuda para cosas tan simples como traer un vaso con agua o una taza con café, lo cual con las muletas es prácticamente imposible. Además, he salido a pasear en la colonia con mi hija, ella en su patín y yo en mi KneeRover. También he ido a convivios con los vecinos, sin necesidad de estar pidiendo que me lleven.PROS:- Es ligera y maniobrable en interiores (sobre piso)- El bloqueo del freno es muy útil para seguridad.MEJORAS:- Mido 1.83m. y mi pierna la tengo que tener estirada, y la llanta pega en mi pie al girar. No es un problema, pero se puede mejorar con diseño.- Tuve que quitar la canasta por los mismos motivos de arriba. Me golpea la rodilla en cada giro.- Tal vez poner la opción de tener llantas neumáticas (tipo bicicleta o carriolas jogger) para terrenos fuera de la casa.
