Unfortunately the Knee Scooter is no longer available for hire.
Wheelfreedom pioneered the hire of knee scooters in the UK a decade ago, bringing the product over from the US.
Our Knee Scooter is designed to fit all users, and has a maximum user weight of 136kg. The height of the leg cradle can be adjusted in seconds, and with adjustment holes every 25mm, it can be made to fit all leg lengths. The handlebars can also be raised for taller people. On the leg cradle itself, the leg is cushioned by a piece of moulded foam fitted to the frame.
Hiring the Knee Scooter has been found to be particularly useful when helping those with the following injuries:
Ruptured Achilles Tendon
Broken foot or ankle
Bunions
Sprained ankle or ligament damage
Diabetic Ulcer
Fractured Heel
Please note that as weight is put on the shin and knee, it is not suitable for people with injuries to those areas of the leg.
There is no basket as this can cause unbalancing; we would suggest the use of a rucksack instead.
