The "New Steerable Foldable Knee Walker Scooter Turning Brake Basket Drive Cart Black" is an excellent product. I had ankle surgery, and I live on my own. Getting around my house become an easier chore than using crutches. Two "negative" if you want to call them that are 1) the odor from the plastic hand grips stay on the hand a long time. 2) the basket could be a little bigger. I could get most of the items I need in it, though my laptop did not fit well.

I have a broken foot bone on which I cannot bear any weight. With the knee walker, I'm able to be up with my good foot and leg to get around my small apartment. It does need room to make very wide turns. I'm constantly having to stop and slide the front wheels sideways into position or use my knee that's on the walker to push the back end sideways into position when I'm unable to get around a corner. In my small space, I'm constantly sliding the front and back wheels to get around corners or turn around. I'm not sure this would be advised on carpet. I've had to be very careful not to lose my balance and fall while doing this on hardwood floors. The knee walker is of good quality. It feels very stable, the wheels don't skid or slide on my hardwood floor unless I intentionally take my weight off to reposition it as described above. I feel safe using it after getting used to sliding it around corners. The only assembly it needed was to unfold the vertical bar with the handles. This required no tools. I find the basket to be very handy allowing my hands to be on the handles and let the basket carry a book, small items, a hot or cold drink (with lid) or a late night snack ;) I'm very happy with the quality, price and mobility it enables. The biggest drawback is that it needs to make very wide turns. This may make it potentially unsafe on carpet that would prevent you from sliding the wheels sideways to get around corners. This is likely true of any knee walker, not just this one. Allowing tighter turns would make the knee walker prone to falling. Sliding it around corners isn't much safer. I hope someone in the design department is looking into this :)Read full review

I received the scooter when expected and needed only minimal time needed to put it together. Don't expect using a knee scooter to be a walk in the park, it isn't, especially if you are required to not have ANY weight on one of your extremities, but it sure beats any other alternative. It took a little practice, but I am able to get in and out of the shower, cook dinner, feed my dogs, take out the trash, get in and out of the car, etc., without help. This was the best piece of equipment ever invented, but do not misunderstand me. I am sore all over from using muscles that probably haven't been used in 50 years and, since the unit weighs about 20 lbs, it isn't the easiest thing to lift. The only thing I change is that I wish there were a brake I could set when I need to stop. Holding steady on an incline is not easy! I recommend that you DEFINITELY get one, but be realistic about it's use.Read full review

This is a great product for getting around in your home or other inside locations. I would not recommend this item if you were planning on walking around all day. I took it to an amusement park to help me keep up with my family as I had a broken foot. By the end of the day, I could no longer use it without pain in my knee/thigh. I resorted to a wheel chair for the remainder of my week. Yes, I recommend it, but only for short distances.

I had decompression of the nerve in my right ankle.... No weight bearing on the right foot the roll about is perfect. I can’t hold anything so the basket was perfect for carrying my meds and water and phone and even snacks
