  • The first question most people ask us, what the benefits of a knee scooter are over crutches or how do they work?

    Knee scooters give people back their freedom and not be limited by crutches. In addition, they are significantly more comfortable to use and allow more mobility in a more relaxed way.

    Here are some TikTok's from people using a knee scooter doing daily tasks that are usually difficult or impossible with crutches. 


    Roll and shop

    With a knee scooter, you can move around quickly and cover a lot of distance. It is so much more comfortable and convenient to use than crutches.

    Knee scooters provide a comfortable way to move around if you have injured your foot or have had surgery. It gives you the freedom to take care of your daily activities, like grocery shopping, going out to eat, or shopping.

    If you're a country dweller and need to get around rugged terrain, an all-terrain knee scooter will hold up to the task. The main advantages of this type of knee scooter are the air-filled tires (as opposed to solid) that can roam over most rough terrain.

    The best part about knee scooters is that they are not as limiting as crutches. For instance, you can set the knee scooter in "parking mode," and you can free up both your hands. This freedom of movement means that you can do everyday tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, etc.
