Nova Knee Cruiser

I'm 44 years old and completely tore my Achilles tendon, so had my lower leg in a splint for 6 weeks. This knee scooter was a god-send. No one likes crutches, and this scooter is a huge improvement. I can move around my house easily, and carry a cup of coffee (or glass of wine); I put a kid's bicycle basket on the front for more cargo, and now I'm nearly self-sufficient, albeit slow. The scooter is very adjustable, and comfortable, and has brake pads on both rear wheels. I scoot to my car, lift this into the trunk, then hop a few feet to the driver's seat and I'm off. My only complaint is that the front steerable wheels have no caster like a bicycle, meaning that it doesn't want to go straight if you let go of the handlebars. Sure, you should be holding on to this scooter with your injured leg, but hitting bumps or cracks on a sidewalk really turns the steering to one side or the other. If you go slow, this won't be a problem. But, if you're a slow-going person, you probably wouldn't have injured your foot/leg in the first place. Some places rent these, but it was going to cost about the same as buying it, for the amount of time I needed it. Get one, you won't regret it!
