  • If you love to travel but have been sidelined by an injury or mobility issues, you may be wondering—is it still possible to explore new places? 

    Well, the good news is that it is! With the help of the appropriate travel knee scooter, you can continue to travel and see the world despite your foot injury.

    In this blog post, we'll discuss the best knee scooter for travel and how it can help you navigate different terrains.

    • "Using the knee walker, I was able to travel with my family throughout Israel-Palestine. Navigating the narrow cobblestone alleys of the old cities would have been impossible with a wheelchair, but I managed it with the knee walker."


    What makes a good travel knee scooter?



    First, let's talk about the customer testimonial above.

    In it, a customer explains how they could navigate the narrow cobblestone alleys of Palestine and Israel with a knee scooter. 

    This is just one example of how a knee scooter can significantly improve your travel experience, making it possible to see places that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access with a wheelchair.



    What is the type of knee scooter for traveling?



    So, what makes a knee scooter the best for travel?

    The answer is that it needs to have all-terrain capabilities. The air-filled tires on an all-terrain knee scooter make it easy to navigate different outdoor terrains, such as concrete, dirt, and any other uneven terrain. 

    The air tires absorb all the shock, making for a comfortable ride. This is especially important when traveling to places with unique or challenging terrains.

    Portability
    Another important feature to look for in a knee scooter for travel is its portability. Some knee scooter models are too bulky to comfortably carry or navigate around.

    You'll want a scooter with a small footprint, easy to fold up and take with you on the go in a plane, taxis, Ubers, etc.

    This is great news for travelers who are worried about how they'll get their scooter to their destination. Many airlines are very friendly with letting you take knee scooters with you on an airplane, so you don't have to worry about leaving it behind or paying extra fees.

    Check out this guide about traveling with a knee scooter.



    The best all-terrain knee scooter for travel



    When it comes to choosing the best knee scooter for travel, our customers rave about the Orthomate All Terrain Knee scooter.

    What sets this knee scooter above the rest is its hybrid design. Its air-filled tires are not oversized but just the perfect size for shock absorption. This makes it friendly for traveling and using indoors as well.

    This scooter has a durable steel frame and a comfortable knee pad for comfortable support. It also has a solid hand brake and rear disc brakes for added safety.

    For traveling, we recommend getting a 
    padded knee rest for extra comfort and long days out adventuring.

    Another knee scooter model to consider



    Another essential feature to consider when choosing the best knee scooter for travel is the turning radius. 

    Some knee scooters, like the TKWC 
    Swivelmate Knee Scooter, have a narrow turning radius, making them excellent for navigating in small indoor spaces, making sharp turns, and maneuvering through tight spaces. 

    This feature can be particularly helpful for travelers who foresee spending most of their time indoors, such as in museums, historical sites, or shopping areas. 

    If you plan to spend a lot of time in small indoor spaces, it's worth considering a knee scooter with a narrow turning radius. 



    Closing thoughts



    In conclusion, if you love to travel but have been sidelined by a foot injury or mobility issues, don't give up on your wanderlust just yet.

    When choosing the perfect knee scooter companion for your next adventure, consider the main features that are relevant to your itinerary:

    Do you need an
    all-terrain scooter for mostly outdoor use? Do you need it to be highly maneuverable for indoor use?

    Don't let an injury or mobility issue hold you back from experiencing new cultures, sights, and adventures.
