Update 4 week review : im quite happy with this little guy still. The only beef so far after 4 weeks of use is the brake leaver locking mechanism. It doesn’t hold in place or does’t release easily anymore. You have to push it from underneath with your thumb. Minor issue if you consider how the mobility this thing gave me….
Original review : Wow, had this for 3 days now and its an absolute game changer. I tried typical crutches, but im 300 lbs and they hurt and restrict movement so much. Plus with painkillers and relaxers and risked falling all the time. Going to bathroom was a real challenge. I tried forearm crutches and it was and improvement while waiting for this thing. My first reaction when it arrive was that it was heavy. Assembling it was a breeze without instructions. It is well build, solid and very sturdy. My 4 tires hold pressure no problems. It makes moving about sooo much safer. Brakes work really well and the leg rest is real comfortable… dont waste your money on the memory foam add-on, its stiff and makes it dangerous as it sits way too high. The rover fits in real tight places. So far i havent noticed any tire marks or anything and i dont wale everyone out in the middle of the night when i get up now. I installed a ram coffee holder on it and an olight flashing for night time around the house. I tried it outside too. Amazingly smooth on pavement, concrere and gravel. It works well on wet grass too. Just watch for ruts and holes as they will tend to throw the balance off a bit. So far extremely satisfy
Cons : on the next itteration, the rear axle should have an open differential concept so both wells can spin independently. This will allow for much tighter turns too. You’ll just need to double up the braking system for each wheel.
