Sturdy, Attractive, I Think Worth It
Hello. The Zero arrived nearly all assembled. I simply slid it out of the box, surprised by how light it was. Beautifully and cleverly crafted and sturdy, and the quilted padded seat is super comfortable if a bit wide. Everyone wants to try sitting on the seat! Everyone says it's classy!<br /><br />I am 5.2, weigh 120. This is my first rollator. I figured if I bought a really good one it could handle what I deal with. Rollator width looks as if it won't go through narrow house doors, but that was an optical illusion. Folds instantly by pulling a handle upward. Press handle downward to unfold. It will stand upright folded and an attached cord, very simple, keeps it folded. Photo shows it folded. Fits nicely in the car trunk if its chunky black wheels are all aligned and there's nothing else in the trunk.<br /><br />Easy to raise and lower the handlebars. I like mine high so I can walk upright.<br /><br />Took it for a spin on dusty gravel. Worked fine, and I hosed the dust off later. Excellent brakes and I love having no visible brake cables. Designed in Canada, assembled in USA. Mail your invoice with the registration card (to Canada) and in addition to the warrantees the manufacturer insures it (less $50) against theft or vandalism.<br /><br />Included is a red metal pin that fits alongside one wheel, plus the bolt needed to install it. This step-on "curb climber" installed makes all the difference in the world. I didn't have the necessary socket wrench with the size 13 socket so had to buy them at the hardware store: $27. Maybe you can borrow one.<br /><br />I called it "my rollator" and "the thing" until I realized it needed a name. I named it Bolt.<br /><br />Took The Bolt to the art museum. Wonderful to be able to sit and look at paintings. Or sit beneath trees outside. One always has a seat.<br /><br />My condition is called Primary Orthostatic Tremor. I walk and sit just fine, but cannot stay standing. Legs just shake, then fail. It looks like Angela Merkel has the same. Canes are useless to me. I needed a portable seat. Didn't want a cheap one or one with basket underneath that makes you look like you're sitting on a commode. Not a good look. The basket on this is placed forward. Wanted a seat high enough to sit at a dining table and so people didn't have to lean down to talk with me, so I bought the Regular size rather than Petite.<br /><br />Hope my Bolt (Evolution Zero) is the only one I ever have to buy. I think it's worth the money.
