    • The absolute perfect assist for ankle surgery!
I had surgery on my right ankle for torn ligaments and a tendon, thus no weight bearing for a month. Forget crutches. I cannot give enough praise to the Roscoe knee roller. Seriously, this product gives you instant mobility from day 1, post surgery. I read numerous reviews and settled on Roscoe. It is very well constructed, super easy to assemble (basically you snap the handle bars and seat in place and slide the basket on) and you are off. I highly recommend ordering before your surgery so you can get comfortable with the scooter however it is so easy to use you only need a few zips around your floor space to feel confident. The turning radius is limited, however still very sufficient . All of the scooter brands have an issue with this, however it can easily be picked up to adjust. I’m getting pretty good with three point turn arounds if needed. Ha! The scooter style I ordered is around 22 lbs however not too heavy to lift the handlebars if needed to adjust if you are in a tight place. I am 5’ 5”, weigh 120 lbs and 69 years old. The scooter’s capacity is 350 lbs. It’s also super easy to collapse to put in your car. The basket is ESSENTIAL and I would recommend that you get one. The Roscoe model I ordered came with a large basket to carry all of my needs and more, phone, bowl of breakfast cereal, medical needs and meds, you name it. I was concerned about wheel durability as that seemed to be an issue with a lot of brands. However, I have used mine on aggregate floors, carpets, pavers and concrete. No problems at all. Obviously carpeting with a higher pile gives you resistance however still manageable. I have not gone on grass, dirt, or muddy ground so can’t speak to “four wheeling” if you have that need. The hand brake can be adjusted however mine was set perfectly. The handle bars and knee rest are adjustable. The seat also adjusts to a right or left leg injury. I bought the Roscoe sheep skin (faux) seat cover which is also a must. It fits very tight for my model however has not come off or been a problem. My model has the two piece seat which works for my cast. As for the practical, you will figure out what position you have to park your scooter in to slide on and off your toilet. This is where the weight of the scooter is helpful to assist you with sitting down or standing up. I don’t have bars to assist in my bathroom. I can’t find one thing I would change. Even the color, maroon with black, is perfect for our WAZZU, GO COUGS! family. Thank you Roscoe for building a quality product at a reasonable price that has truly bettered my life. D. Barrett Follow up to my above review (almost 4 weeks later)... I am now 5 days away from my cast removal and the next phase of my recovery which includes a walking boot. I will be using my scooter only when I need to rest my ankle. I can now speak to "four wheeling", scooting over the grass and I can happily say my Roscoe did not disappoint. I did feel every roll and bump in the lawn however seriously, it's not a vehicle with shocks and springs so get over it and be thankful it will get you from point A to point B. We also live on a hill and have a very steep driveway which I needed to go down with my knee roller a few times. My husband simply stood in front of me and backed down with me using the brake intermittently. I never felt like I was on the verge of tipping or unable to stop. I have been able to shower independently and function in and outside of my home with a freedom that crutches would never have given me. In a couple of weeks, my Roscoe knee roller will be boxed back up and saved for possible future needs as it has become a family member. Ha! ... show more

    • Roscoe Medical ROS-KSBG Knee Scooter, Burgundy
After going though a hip replacement last year, I found out that I needed a ankle replacement this year. My doctor recommended a knee scooter and so I began a search for one on Amazon. I did at first try a medical supply house as my doctor suggested, but the same products as on Amazon cost almost 4 times as much at one of those locations! Since I am paying for my own, I chose Amazon to do my research on and selected this product after looking through the various ones listed. Here is what I found: 1. My surgery was 10 days ago, so I have been using this product for the last 9 days. I ordered the unit ahead of surgery to have a chance to try it, assemble it, and return it if necessary. 2. There was no need to return this as the product arrived exactly as described and took only about 10 minutes to put together and another 10 minutes to adjust it so that it comfortably fit me. 3. The fit and finish of all of the part is outstanding!!!!! 4. The disk break that is part of this knee scooter is FANTASTIC. A friend of mine had a different type that used essentially bolt heads to press into the wheels to slow it down and that was a TERRIBLE design. This design quickly and easily stops the unit. As an additional feature, if you push the handle away instead of gripping it, you set a parking brake!! While this may not sound like something you need, it is an ESSENTIAL part of the knee scooter! You will be surprised at how many places you go to that are not even and without the brake you will be fighting to have your unit stay in place. 5. The included basket is of very good quality and includes very heavy duty attachment points and a convenient handle to carry items in the basket. Again, you may not think a basket is necessary, but you will quickly find that it is ESSENTIAL since you cannot carry things in your hands and use the scooter safely. 6. The wheels roll easily and the ball bearing design means that this scooter can quickly get up to a fast speed and that if left on even the most gentle of slopes, will roll away on its own!! So, Always use the parking brake!!! 7. I figured that I would probably use the electric chairs that places like Costco provide when I went there instead of the knee scooter. So, today I went to Costco with my wife and took my knee scooter. I figured on parking it inside Costco and using the electric chair. Well, it was so easy to use getting from the van to the entrance that I told my wife I would just try using the scooter instead of getting one of the available electric chairs. Glad I decided on doing that. It was no effort to glide all over Costco and my wife gave up trying to keep up with me. Instead she sent me on errands to get things and bring them back to her. Glad I had that basket!!!! When I went into this I never expected that a medical device would be anything other than a hassle, much like crutches. Instead, I have found that this little device makes things very easy indeed to accomplish and gives me a lot of mobility. I cannot recommend this unit highly enough!!!!!!! I am extremely pleased with it. ... show more

    • Makes me mobile again
I have been using this for a month now. It is a necessity. I had to fly through several airports 2 weeks after a painful injury that broke and shattered multiple bones below the knee. I was scooting past all the able bodied people and skipped using the moving walkways in several airports. If you go too fast you must be careful not to tip over as the scooter has a high center of gravity, especially with a tall person like me. I have it set on maximum height as I am over 6'-2". I now can go shopping on my own without a wheelchair. You cannot carry anything much while on crutches. I now use it to go for "walks" with my dogs. My big dogs can pull me, but are not yet well enough trained for doing this safely. The scooter is sturdy and folds up easily. Just follow the YouTube video to assemble it. It fits well in the back seat of a car and in many car trunks, but not all. It is bulky folded, as a strong scooter may need to be. It survived being gate checked on numerous flights. The wheels are fine on asphalt and concrete, although much faster on smooth floors as in stores and airports. Sidewalk bumps are not a problem as others suggest, if you are mindful of them. It does not do as well on grass, but you can lift it in steps over rough ground. It does not turn tightly enough for use in my kitchen, but I primarily use it outside of the house. I am able to travel as fast as most joggers, but must be mindful of balance. If you only use it on paved surfaces at sedate speeds, it will be just fine. Suggested improvements: 1. I would love a model with larger wheels or even pneumatic tires. I could then cross grass or rougher ground. 2. It could use an attachment for carrying crutches. I bungee cord mine to the bottom when I need to bring them (often). It could also use some shopping bag hooks; I use the basket and the handle bars for shopping bags. 3. The wheels have a bit of a wobble when you go fast. This could likely be adjusted and you probably should not go so fast with a broken limb anyhow! But I refuse to be a slow old cripple. 4. If it had an adjustable front wheelbase it would be narrow enough to fit in the car , but wide enough to give more stability. This is not such an issue for the slow old folks. When I am done with it I will likely sell it for close to what I paid. People hopefully only need these for a few months at a time and it looks built to last for years, if maintained and adjusted. This scooter sells or "rents" for much more on sites other than Amazon. When my leg is sort of working again (likely never!), I may start using a standard kick or, even better, a "pedalflow" scooter (by Micro of Switzerland [...]) as scooters are a great way to get around if one of your ankles or feet does not work well. It will be much faster than using a cane. ... show more

    • Great alternative to crutches for foot injuries.
After my wife had surgery on her right foot, she had to keep the weight off it for about 5 weeks. She had tried crutches before when she had a minor injury to her other foot and they were uncomfortable for her to use. A scooter was the best solution for her. At first we rented a scooter at our pharmacy, it was costing $20.00 a week which is not a great amount, but I thought maybe buying one would be a better option. I looked at medical supply stores and some were as high as $500. Next I looked at E-bay where they were more economically priced, but I needed one right away and could not wait for an auction to end. As usual, Amazon had this one which fit our needs, it was compact, priced well and was shipped quickly as I had signed up for Prime on a trial basis. These scooters are a big help allowing the injured to move around at home and if you go somewhere, to be able to get around a whole lot easier than on crutches. This Roscoe Knee Scooter has a split pad that can be positioned to accommodate a person with an injury to either foot. It has a brake which helps when on an incline and it can be locked like an emergency brake on a car. Turning is somewhat limited by stops, apparently to help keep a person from turning the scooter over if steered too sharply. The wheels are big enough to use the scooter outside on pavement or concrete but not so good on grass or soft earth, it works fine on carpet or smooth floors and the wheels are not supposed to mar hardwood or make marks on floors, The handlebar assy. has a latch that allows folding when transporting the scooter in your car trunk or back seat. When ready to use again the handlebars hinge back up and lock with a cross bolt like pin and a locking lever. This arrangement is secure and works fine, it also is adjustable. Our house is fairly small, but my wife was able to use this scooter quite well, although it was somewhat difficult to turn some times and she had to lift up on the rear wheels to make it go where needed. Also, she had to back out of certain areas with it, or I would turn it around for her. Even though it was somewhat difficult to use at times, this scooter was a great help for her to get around without much assistance. I would help her in a store or at the hospital or doctor's office by pushing on her back while she held the other foot up off the floor, it takes little effort to move the scooter and the wheels roll easily on roller bearings. All said, this scooter paid for itself just for the convenience of being able to move around with much less effort and trouble compared to crutches. We'll keep this scooter in case she needs it again or if someone in the family needs to use it, hopefully not me. Get one if you need it, you won't regret the purchase. ... show more

    • I absolutely LOVE this Scooter :)
Just had an ankle fusion done Thursday 6/21/2012 and I am facing 12 weeks of being casted, and the first 6 are totally NWB (non weight bearing). I would have no problems with crutches in my office as over the years I have gotten quite good at using them. The only real trouble was going to be getting from my car to the building and back to the car. Even considering I have a handicapped spot close to the building It was still going to be quite a haul on crutches. I decided to give one of these a try on my own dime as my insurance wont reimburse for this (well only at the rate for a wheeled walker, but Im good with it :)) I still have almost two weeks before I plan on attempting to return to work and should have plenty of time to get good on my scooter. It was out of the box and set up in less than 10 minutes including me needing to make a small adjustment to square the handlebars to the wheels (if you can work on a bicycle, you can work on and understand this scooter without any problems at all). I didn't bother with looking for instructions or video online because to me it was obvious what I needed to do. Its well made relatively easy to manipulate and even kinda fun. I believe I will continue to be really happy with this purchase :) *****************************************UPDATE***************************************************** Now almost two weeks later Im still very happy with the scooter. And the worst review here mentions running into your ankle,you will a few times then you will learn that wheel center on the back hurts.... and learn where to position your foot to prevent it. Also make sure you have the offset in the proper direction, toward your good leg. They also mentioned turning radius....Its not Ideal but again you learn....Many small moves in a row and I can turn this scooter if parked sideways in a home hallway, you just have to learn. And yes sometimes I find it easier to just pick it and turn it, not a big deal at all for me. But with all that said, Im still so glad I bought this. I was but 8 days post op for an ankle fusion (Triple Arthrodesis)and was displaced by the wind and thunderstorm of 6/29/2012. We had no power and the temps were in the lower hundreds with high humidity. We had to head for a hotel and I don't even want to think of standing in line for a half an hour trying to get a room, or going down to the first floor from our room to eat or get snacks on crutches. I am a big fan of this scooter and don't want to think of life for the next 12 weeks or so without it. If you need crutches and have an extended amount of time on them and or distance to cover with them, get the scooter and learn how to use it,you wont be sorry. ... show more

    • A lifesaver!!!
I had extensive foot reconstruction surgery and am NWB for a month. I did not use this until about 6 days after surgery once the pain had subsided a bit. I just felt too unstable while the pain and the drugs were the greatest. Now, I love it. This is my 5th major foot surgery but the first time with this scooter and I will never give it up. Some helpful notes: 1. Buy it before you need it to be able to take the time to set the leg rest and handlebar heights and take it for a test drive. It is simple to set up but getting the adjustments correct took some trial and error. Make sure to set the legrest for the proper leg to keep from kicking the back wheels with your good foot. 2. The instructions for the use of the parking brake were just WRONG. They said to push the button on the brake handle, which did nothing. I finally figured out that to engage the parking brake you push the lever away from you. Perfect, please note that a phone call to Roscoe about my befuddlement, received NO response whatsoever. 3. Google Roscoe Scooter Set-up for the You Tuve video on how to set up the scooter. A 5 minute investment that is very helpful and this is what actually showed me how to set the parking brake. 4. The parking brake cable is very long and caught several times on cabinet knobs and other protrusions around the house. We fixed this by arranging some of the excess behind the basket (which looks hideous but is essential) so that it would not protrude. 5. I found the leg rest to be too hard so I folded a beach towel and secured it with elastic bands (just got pieces of elastic and safety pinned the ends to make a band) and it is perfect.. 6. Practice folding it up and lifting it into your car when you are healthy, it helps to figure out where to grip and I learned to lean my butt on the bumper of the car before lifting it in. Not too hard or too heavy, just a little practice is necessary. 7. It is the perfect height for a foot rest when seated on a couch or chair. 8. With the parking brake engaged, I am comfortable standing, in the kitchen preparing dinner, for example. I highly recommend this product. I have not tried other brands but in speaking to friends who have they reported instability of their scooters and that is just NOT an issue with this one. The product is sound and well built but I can't stress enough that you need to practice with this BEFORE you really need it. I mistakenly ordered the burgundy one, but find it jazzy and I love it. Best of luck to you. ... show more

    • I can actually get from one place to another!
I purchased this scooter when I knew I was going to need some major foot surgeries. Knowing my balance is not the best when I have 2 working feet, the idea of having to use crutches for up to 12 weeks was just terrifying. My health insurance said they "might" pay for a rental of a really cruddy model, but I'd have to rent first, pay up front, then see if they would reimburse me up to the $1000 the rental would cost. Since I'm going to need to have he same surgery on my other foot (and this scooter has an offset platform, so you don't kick the wheel or legrest while moving, regardless of which leg is down), I went ahead and paid the $200 to own this model. So glad I did! This scooter is well-balanced and I feel quite secure on it. It can fold down (it's a bit of a pain, but it can) to fit in the back of my subcompact car. Including a basket was great. I can put in the things I need to carry from room to room. I also purchased and attached a cupholder (like the type new moms use on strollers) and my family gave me a great bicycle bell -- useful to let them know if I need something. It's possible to sit on the scooter when doing makeup, etc, and it's great to have it as something to elevate your leg when sitting in a chair (it easily backs under a table). The parking brake makes it a safe transfer. When out in public, there are a few interesting things I've noticed. One is that, since you are "standing" at your usual height, sometimes people don't realize there's an injured leg out behind you -- I've had a few inattentive people behind me in line or crowds walk into the surgical foot. Ouch. But by the same token, since you are standing, things like checking out at a store are easier than if you are using a wheelchair. AND YOU HAVE THE USE OF YOUR HANDS -- which you don't if you're using crutches. Also, people tend to smile when they see you scootering around. It takes the focus away from the injury (and one gets tired of telling the same "fought a dragon" tale again and again...") and more toward realizing that it may stink to be nonweightbearing and have a major foot surgery...but that if you can get around safely (and, let's face it, it's fun), that's a plus. ... show more

    • Be the envy of all your friends!
I dislocated my ankle and tore 6 ligament on the right side. That kinda sucked. I was hobbling around in a Cam Walker boot and crutches. Then I had a business trip come up (5 days at the Palazzo in Vegas and a LOT of walking.) I was gonna be seriously screwed on my crutches, as I was not very fast and it was pretty tiring. (Even though I had been doing Crossfit for 9 months up to the day I dislocated my ankle, I was still way sore and hurting from the crutches...) I bought this to take to Vegas and was super-glad I did. It was a life-saver. I could zoom around (even on the carpet) and found that the 3-5 miles I covered each day was doable. At the end of each day, my knee was killing me. I think that would be the case no matter what if you kneel on your knee for 12 hours, so not really a ding on this little dude here. I restricted my food and drink to a moderate level (with one night of Sushi Samba and Sake as a splurge) but this thing is credited with the only 8 pound weight loss in Vegas. Ever. The one thing that I had a problem with is that about once a day the breaking mechanism (the part under the 'fender' surrounding the break-adjacent wheel) would get lodged between the wheel and the fender. Basically, it would act as if the break was being applied at about 50%, making scooting a LOT harder. I found that taking a key and pushing it back in place would fix it. This fix got to a point where I could stop and do it in the middle of the casino in 15 seconds. Not that big of a deal, but I feel design-wise it could be taken care of with a little extra metal. But I am a web designer, not a scooter designer. This thing also made me the most popular guy at the conference. I had men, women and security guards of all ages striking up conversations with me. I even raced an 80-year-old guy on a motorized scooter. It honestly is a great little addition to my world. That being said, glad I don't need it any more. ... show more

    • The unit arrived fully assembled in a pretty big box
I purchased this scooter after my right achille's tendon ruptured. Having spent eight days using crutches, I knew that I needed an alternative aid to help get around. I choose the Roscoe scooter due to prior high reviews. The unit arrived fully assembled in a pretty big box. So if you are the person that needs to use the scooter, you will have to have someone else bring the box in your home. The scooter slides out of the box and all you need to do is cut some zip ties to free everything up. Assembly is no issue and you really don't need instructions but if you do they have a YouTube channel that is informative. The scooter is pretty high quality. I am 6'4" and 245 lbs and have no fear about the quality of the welds failing. The basket is super nice to carry things around that you would not be able to with crutches. So, onto the cautions about using the scooter. Clearly if you plan on using this thing, some part of you is injured. Yes the wheels are hard and you will feel every bump from an uneven surface. YOU HAVE TO BE VIGILANT. The front wheels must hit a sidewalk crack, carpet or any other transition straight on. If one wheel hits first, the thing will lean and tip if you put your weight into it. Like I said, be vigilant and don't take anything for granted. Going down even a slight decline you will gain momentum so hold the break and keep your functioning foot on the ground like Fred Flintstone stopping his car. The knee pad is hard so you just have to find a sweet spot and deal with it. The turn radius is what you would expect for handle bars that have limited turn. It is easy enough to just pick the handle bars up and pivot. After a day or so you will find a routine that works. Again, be vigilant when going to a new place. To get the unit in the car, I lower the handle bars and fold them back so my fiancee can get them in the back seat. It can be a pain in the ass to get it in and out of the trunk. Since I will have to use this for two months or more, I view it as a good investment to return to some normalcy and independence in life. ... show more

    • Sturdy little scooter
This is a great little scooter. Very nice that the basket is included on it. It rolls well on carpet, tile, and concrete. The wheels are a hard rubber. I can see some track marks on our tile from it, but I'm sure those will easily be removed. It doesn't have a very tight turning radius, but I suspect if it were any tighter it would be less stable. I, for one, am sure that if it were tighter I'd find a way to launch myself over the handlebars. I prefer to make a multipoint turn, or for real tight turns, just pick it up and swing it around. If you set the parking brake on it, it's very easy to tip it back on it's back wheels, while you're on it, and redirect it. There were 2 sets of instructions with it. The set that was attached to it was a bit more confusing than the set that was just on a printed page included in the box. The instructions occasionally seemed to reference features that my particular model didn't have. Once I figured that out, it was very easy to assemble. It required no additional tools and took a max of about 15 minutes. I had no need to adjust the brake. It worked perfectly as was. For any that might have missed where the parking brake is on this scooter, all you have to do is actually push the brake handle forward (as opposed to squeezing it for standard functionality). It then locks engaged and all you have to do is squeeze it to release and return to regular function. Once I added my little parrot horn and my handlebar streamers, I felt like I definitely had made the best of a not fun situation. A CAUTION TO ADD - Now that I've used the scooter for a few weeks, I've discovered that you need to be very careful if you're wearing pants that have slightly wide legs. If you go fairly quickly with your scooter, it is very easy to get your pant leg caught around the front wheel. This leads to an unexpected sudden stop. Also, be careful if you take the scooter anywhere where you might need to navigate rocks that might be in your path. If you happen to catch a rock of about an inch in size or larger, it will stop your wheels from turning. ... show more

    • Lifesaver.
I had flat foot reconstruction surgery earlier this year and purchased this scooter in advance after reading many reviews and looking at options. I did submit my receipt along with a prescription to my insurance carrier and they reimbursed part of the price. I was pleased with this scooter, even though the overall situation was less than stellar. I put it together about a week prior to surgery and adjusted it to my height. It was good that I got some practice and also tested out which furniture needed to be moved to accommodate the scooter while I had use of both feet. This thing was a lifesaver after surgery and became like an extension of me. I got anxious if anyone moved it out of my reach. Lol. The parking break works well and I trusted it. The basket was very helpful. When I returned to work I cut a fast food drink carrier in half (from four to two) and put it in the bottom of the basket to keep my drinks from tipping over. It was light enough that even balancing on one foot I was able to lift it into and out of my car on my own. The first week I went back to work I put the scooter in the back of my suv and used a walker to get to the drivers seat. I eventually got to where I put it in my back seat and hopped on one foot alongside the car to the drivers seat. This was within my abilities and I don't recommend pushing yourself beyond your abilities. My point is that it fit in the back seat of my Honda CR-V without even having to fold down the handlebars. Near the end of my recovery I also figured out how to drag it up the stairs with me because I hated using the Walker or crutches up there. It was doable, although I never attempted to take it back down the stairs on my own. Dangerous and stupid? Possibly. But the husband was working nights and I hated the crutches and I'm stubborn. ... show more

    • Good buy
Why rent when you can buy? The medical supply place wanted to charge more for 4 weeks than what I would pay for buying the scooter so I bought the exact same thing they had in stock on here for cheaper. I would suggest you wear shoes and not slippers when operating this, I ran over my toes with that back wheel a couple of times and somehow even got the wheel stuck inside my slipper with my foot in it. Not easy to get out of that situation when you are non weight bearing on the other leg. Lol The turning radius is ok, it could be better, you just have to get use to how to maneuver around and back up. I found that it was impossible to get it in the bathroom so I had to keep crutches around to get into the smaller areas of the house. I was also very thankful for hardwood floors because pushing it around on thick carpet was a workout. Maybe it was just me but I found if I had to ride it for a long distance, like through the hospital, it would cause my leg resting on it to hurt badly. I tried adjusting the height but nothing worked. It just hurt my leg and later my back. I think it's a great scooter and I did use it a lot for short distance things at home the most. I did get bucked off twice the first week of use, so user beware who may be taking medications and lean to the side or back cause this sucker will shoot right out from under you before you even know what happened. It would be nice if you could lock the wheels so you could do things and not worry about that, but I fell the first time and the second just lost the scooter cause I was a little more prepared. Good luck to everyone else healing from surgery or injury. ... show more

    • Attractive & lightweight
This has been a godsend for getting around the house independently while remaining nonweight bearing with a broken ankle.

    • Game Changer!
I second the emotion of the reviewer who expressed sympathy for anyone in the market for one of these. However, after a week of crutching around my house on hardwood floors (terrifying) and trying to get around at my son's outdoor sporting events (exhausting), receiving the Roscoe Knee Scooter was exhilarating! I can only assume the problems pointed out by previous reviewers have been improved on by the company in response. I found the assembly very easy and intuitive. I read the directions, but in retrospect, only needed them to reference landmarks for proper fitting. The means of assembly will seem familiar if you own a bicycle, eg. the quick release on the steering column is the same as the one on the wheels of your mountain bike. I also found the brake worked perfectly out of the box, and the turning radius was not a barrier for use in my home. I do have to make multi point turns in some tight spots, or I can just lift the scooter around. The scooter is pretty light and easy to maneuver. The knee platform is comfortable; they even thought to place a recess for the top of your cast or splint. I'm elated to have the use of my hands back, to be able to carry things in the basket, all while feeling perfectly safe, and moving at a very good pace (faster than walking). The only problem I've noted is I cannot get the basket to fully click into place. However, it does not seem to want to come off during use either, and this might be by design (not sure). Bottom line: this scooter has been the one bright spot in my otherwise sad ruptured Achilles' tendon saga. Anyone who is non-weight bearing due to a foot or ankle injury should obtain one of these as quickly as possible! ... show more
