KneeRover Steerable Knee Scooter Review

Our review

If you are non-weight-bearing on a foot or ankle, a knee scooter usually beats crutches by a wide margin, and the steerable KneeRover is the one most people should start with. You rest the injured leg on a padded platform and roll, hands free to carry a coffee or a laptop, with none of the upper-body fatigue and sweat that crutches demand. The steerable front wheels are the key: corners, doorways, and bathrooms that are a three-point-turn ordeal on a fixed scooter become easy.

It is stable, the dual rear brakes lock for parking and transfers, and the knee platform and handlebars adjust to fit most heights. The standard wheels prefer smooth floors and pavement, so if your routine includes grass or gravel, look at the all-terrain version. And like every knee scooter, it is for lower-leg injuries, not hip or thigh problems. Within its lane, it is the easiest, most natural way to get around a foot injury.

Bottom line: The best all-around knee scooter. Steerable, stable, folds for the car, the crutch alternative most people prefer.
