Is a knee scooter worth it?

Is a knee scooter worth it? A knee scooter is an excellent option for someone who needs a little extra help with mobility, whether due to a foot/ankle injury or post-surgery. It has significant benefits over traditionally used crutches.

How much does it cost for a knee scooter?

We rent leg scooters for $40 per month. Buying a knee scooter can range from $150 to $400. Renting one from a local medical supply store will normally cost you $100 a month plus a $100 deposit fee which means you'll need to fork over $200 upfront to get a knee scooter.

Is knee scooter better than crutches?

Comfort - When it comes to overall comfort and convenience, plus ease of use, the knee scooter definitely wins by far. Knee scooters don't require any upper body strength to get around and are much easier to navigate than crutches.

Can I fold the knee scooter?

Yes, all our knee scooters are foldable. You want to push the handlebar tubing towards where the seat was placed before and it should allow you to completely fold the frame into a compact shape that is easy to store almost anywhere.

This was such a good experience for us. I had sprained my ankle really bad and could not put any weight on my foot at all. I was ready to but a know scooter when I came across this solution. The pick-up was easy, the scooter was in good condition, then 3 weeks later we just returned it easily. Thank you for such a great solution to a temporary need.

This saved my anniversary trip,
I had broken my toe and could not walk anywhere.
It threw off all our plans, I almost went home early.

Until my girlfriend found this!
I was going everywhere with after, almost stayed another day.
100/10 - Saved the day, well organized and commutation was great.
Not to mention, it won't break the bank.

Used this service for two weeks because my partner had a foot injury that thankfully ended up not being as severe as we thought. Pick up and drop off was super simple and really easy to do. The lock was a little tricky at first, but able to figure it out quickly. The only tiny issue we had was that the knee pad was a little worn and slightly uncomfortable after a prolonged use of time. The location was convenient for us as well. We will definitely be telling our friends.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It’s affordable and cheaper than any of the other competitors in the area at $15/week. I was nervous putting my card info into a random website at first but everything was legit and easy. The scooter worked perfect and was in good condition. Pick up was easy at someone’s house and return was easy. No actual person contact which I was good with because it was so easy. All I had to do was text them when I got the scooter and text when I returned it. If I ever break my ankle again, I’d use this company haha.

It’s a little expensive but the only way to go if you can’t put any weight on a foot or lower leg or ankle. And the fact that they offer an ALL TERRAIN scooter is great

I love it. Very easy and very quick service with a cheap price. They have beautiful scooters. We loved the one we rented.

Be sure to take photos when you pick up and return the scooter. They will charge you for items they lost. I rented a scooter that was never used during rental. But I was charged for a lost or damaged scooter basket. Pricing is great, but this is a joke. I sure as heck did not damage or lose a basket when it sat in the house, never used.

Excellent and affordable. An amazingly convenient and wonderful service they offer. What a life saver and at a great price. So glad I did thus instead of trying to use crutches.

Super convenient & great prices ! Perfect for recovering from ankle surgery, I was able to pick up/drop off with ease and extend my rental as needed. 10/10 would recommend!

Sweet setup. I had the all terrain model as it was closer to pick up. Our house would probably have accommodated the standard size better, but all in all, it kept the weight off my foot! Thanks! Easy and convenient! I would definitely recommend you!!

The only good part about having foot surgery was the ease of renting this scooter. Super easy to reserve, pickup, and drop off. I would recommend this service to anyone needing a knee scooter.

Knee Scooter USA came in clutch, when needed the most! Very conveniently located, super easy to use, and open pretty long hours. The pricing was good as well. Definitely recommend!

Smooth process to reserve, pick up and drop off. Transparent billing. I chose all terrain scooter. Totally worth the cost. I took that thing everywhere. Cool small business model too. Read the website to check it out.

Super easy to pick up. Super easy to drop off. Scooter had zero issues. They text you when it’s time to return. They extend your time if you forget so you don’t get double charged. Top notch company all around. Don’t rent anywhere else.

This service was easy to find and use, and the scooter (with detachable basket) was incredibly helpful. It cost about a third of just buying a scooter, but then I didn’t have to bother with rehoming it and $40 a month was very worth it for how much I got out of it. The easy to find instruction video on how to break it down to fit in cars was also great and easy. The text service to check it out wasn’t working for me but I was quickly answered and helped. I will miss my scooter!

Amy Stein

05:52 03 Jan 23

So thankful for the convenience and quality of this service! My scooter was easy to pick up prior to surgery and so easy to return at my convenience when I was ready. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a good quality, clean, well maintained knee scooter to get back to life more quickly!

Jeanne Arrigo

17:50 12 Dec 22

Affordable and convenient!! So very grateful for this service! I ended up using two scooters, one regular one for inside the house, and one for outside with the all-terrain wheels. It was super easy to pick up and drop off the equipment and everything was clean and well-maintained. If you have any problems questions/issues the number to call for support is on the scooter itself… and there is a real, live person at the other end!! Would definitely recommend the service for anyone who finds himself in need of a knee scooter!

I never knew such an amazing service existed so close to home! Knee scooters are so expensive! But the rental here is so affordable! The scooters are in great condition and the flexibility for rentals works so well! I’m a dancer and often sprain my foot. I will definitely keep coming back here! Thank you so much!

Excellent service! So easy to rent online and pick up right before my surgery. I loved the flexible return policy with automatic extensions since I was unsure how long I would need it. I got the all-terrain model which was in perfect condition. Highly recommend Knee Scooter USA!

Nicki Leavitt

02:46 02 Nov 22

So convenient to pick up and drop off. Quick order to place and quickly given instructions and exact location for where to pick up the scooter. It was affordable and purchased for 4 weeks. I was able to return it whenever I wanted within that time (loved the flexibility). Sent one text to drop it off back where I picked it up and that was it. So convenient.

Knee Scooter USA Denver is convenient and affordable. I rented an all-terrain model following my ankle surgery. The scooter was available immediately and was practically brand new. The online rental process is straightforward and easy to navigate. I also appreciated the text message updates. Thank you for making my recovery easier and safer.

This place was a lifesaver for my wife when she tore her Achilles. The scooter was great - exactly what we wanted, we got the all-terrain scooter. It worked awesome and saved her from relying on crutches.

The price was very reasonable, 100% recommend if you have a injured foot.

Ally Brown

02:12 18 Aug 22

I was elated when I was able to find such a reasonably priced knee cart. I was over having to use crutches due to an Achilles surgery, and when we found the standard model online we jumped on it. It did everything I needed it to, and the basket was amazing to have on the front. Highly recommend, especially with how easy it is to rent from them, and the pricing. Just a couple of simple texts, picking up and returning, and boom that’s it. $40 a month was the cheapest we found personally, and it was prefect for our budget. So simple, I really do highly recommend Knee Scooter USA.

Erica Mitchell

This was great! It was easy to pick up and drop off. I went over my reservation and it was not a big deal, I was just charged weekly. It was inexpensive. I would advise renting the all-terrain scooter. I wish I had done that. The other one ($40) is not as sturdy and you really feel on the cracks and bumps. Also the turning radius was not great.

Audrey Mercer

01:54 08 Apr 22

Easy & convenient!! I was amazed at how simple of a process this was. I rented for a month & ended up needed up for an fee extra weeks. The scooter was incredibly helpful during my recovery. I can’t thank you enough!

Michele Hood

Easy pick up and return. Scooter worked well. Clean and in excellent condition. Really helped my mobility while I was healing. More affordable than other companies I researched. Would highly recommend.

Jackie Jimenez

20:36 13 Mar 22

I was so glad I stumbled upon this rental!! The scooter itself was comfy and so handy around my home during the time I needed it. The pick up and drop off process was so easy because those in charge respond very quickly! Happy to recommend to anyone in need of an awesome scooter and service! 10 out of 10!!

Broke my ankle and needed a scooter to get a break from the crutches. I was able to reserve one immediately and pick it up the same day (on a Sunday too!). The process was really easy and the directions provided were extremely clear. Would definitely recommend renting from Knee Scooter USA!

Heather Elzi

20:44 14 Jan 22

So easy to pickup and affordable. We had the all terrain and my 10 yo daughter used it to get around a school with her broken ankle. Highly recommend.

Courtney Claussen

03:32 12 Jan 22

Convenient and affordable! It was all so easy, and smooth with automated text messaging. They even provide a video to demonstrate how to collapse the scooter for transport. I highly recommend this company.

I had a grade three ankle sprain and a walking boot. It took four weeks before I could bear any weight in the boot and the knee scooter rental was a godsend! It allowed me to continue to go about my life, despite my mobility challenge with my bum ankle. The scooter quality was excellent. The price was extremely reasonable and the drop of and pick up process were very easy. My only wish is that they had a location closer to my house; I live in Thornton.
