Might not be good enough.
I’ve now had this for 12 weeks. I use it for longer distances, while the I-walk is used for shorter moves around the house and office. It fails to deliver on most of its promise.<br /><br />1) foldable: no. No it’s not. Once open and useable it would take a contortionist with super human strength to get this to fold. Try doing it on one foot with someone waiting for you, like a cab. I dare you. The moving parts don’t fit together with any tolerance to allow movement to fold when the retaining bolts are loose. Forget about this feature.<br /><br />2) brakes: no. No it does not. The wheels have no grip, so IF the brakes stop them from rolling they just slide. The grip strength required to get the brakes to work would rival Thor, and the result of braking is really just wear on the wheel as it drags. I now have a flat spot from a prolonged application of the brakes on an incline. Use your foot. The brakes don’t work.<br /><br />It needs rubber on the wheels.<br /><br />Parts: The first one arrived with parts that didn’t fit right. I returned it. The second was the same. Whoever designed the quick release bolts at the front axle was high.<br /><br />The front wheels attach with bolts that will listen over time. If you go any distance at all please check them before you’re wheels fall off.<br /><br />The basket: the attachment to the scooter for this sack is downright laughable. It falls off regularly requiring unloading and reinstallation. It’s worse when you try and put it down in the trunk while loaded and it comes out half hanging on.<br /><br />Keep in mind I bought this to maintain normal mobility while healing from ORIF of my calcaneus. 12 weeks plus time before surgery. I’ve walked dogs, gone to work every day as a physician, gone to museums and taken walks with my family. It’s probably fine for around the house or in a rehab center. But if you want a normalized life on one foot you probably want something else.
