I love the feeling of a knee scooter BUT ... it’s very easy to tip over
After a bad car accident I broke my foot in 17 places and need to be zero weight bearing for 4 months!  I have a wheelchair and walker but the knee scooter is absolutely my only sanity.  Dare I say it’s even fun at times.  BUT ... this isn’t the sturdiest scooter.  I’m 62, female, 240 lbs.  my main complaint is when turning the handlebars sharply its VERY easy to simply fall over the handlebars and I did. Fortunately I wasn’t hurt.<br /><br />I got the all terrain wheels because our driveway is gravel and cobblestone and this was a great idea that works well. Otherwise the small wheels would simply sink into the gravel instead of being able to roll over the top. So I was happy with that. Despite my age and size I have a better than average sense of balance which is the only reason I haven’t hurt myself. I would NOT buy this particular scooter given the opportunity to do it again. It’s dangerous.  If there’s a way to test ride the scooter before you is your only safe bet. While in physical rehab hospital I used a different scooter and the steering wheel could not turn so sharp that it flips.<br /><br />Reading the other reviews it’s clear that everyone is not reviewing the same knee scooter.  But bottom line, a knee scooter is a terrific way to get around.  You feel more able bodied and it does have a fun factor.  Just make sure you’ve had plenty of time to adjust to it.  Also, my insurance would not cover the knee scooter and it’s surprisinghow few people even know they exist.
