- The one thing knee walkers must do well is to provide you with freedom of mobility during your foot injury recovery. The ability to carry your knee scooter wherever you go is essential—you should be able to go wherever you want to travel freely.
In this article, we'll take a look at two of our most popular foldable knee scooters.Do Knee Scooters Fold?
Yes, most knee scooters can fold—but not all are created equal. Some require tools and can be cumbersome; others have ergonomic knobs to make the task a breeze. We'll discuss which ones these are in a bit!
Getting a knee scooter that can fold is useful for many reasons. If you're always on the move, this feature is essential.
Know When to Fold Them
Folding your knee scooter is helpful when you have to load and unload it into your car. A folded knee scooter saves space in your vehicle, especially if you have groceries and other belongings. You want your car doors or trunk to close easily to prevent damaging your vehicle or scooter.
An easy to fold knee scooter is even more helpful if you're driving solo. You roll to the back of your car, fold it, put it in the trunk, and hop a short distance to the driver's seat (given that your doctor gives your the okay to drive).
When traveling by air, a foldable model knee scooter can be stowed in overhead bins. If the knee walker is not foldable, it can be requested to be held and stored with the rest of the luggage underneath the plane. With this, there is a risk of it getting damaged.
