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.

SEO APPLICATION

WHO WE ARE

Knee Scooter USA was founded in 2019. We rent knee scooters to people with lower leg injuries (broken ankle, foot surgery, ankle surgery). Our rental process is super convenient for customers and fully automated with software and SMS algorithms. Our scooter rentals are the lowest cost in the USA while also being available within 5 minutes, 365 days a year. We employ local dealers who clean, inspect and maintain our fleet of knee scooters. Our low prices and immediately available scooters gives us a significant competitive advantage over other companies, including Amazon and Walmart. However, the market we compete in is very niche and demand is limited for each city we operate in (only 1 – 1.5% of people need a knee scooter at any time). Also, the keywords for our business have low competition but also low search volume.

MAIN CHALLENGES IN 2023

Our main challenge for the past 2 years has been dramatically declining Google traffic. It’s becoming increasingly difficult when Google began showing shopping cards when people search for knee scooters. It wasn’t this way prior to 2023.

MAIN CHALLENGES IN 2022

In November 2021 Google released the Vicinity update. Once that happened we noticed a considerable decline in user traffic and scooter rentals. Before November 2021, whenever a user queried “knee scooter”, Google presented them with a map pack of local medical supply companies throughout the city. We always appeared at the top for entire metro areas due to our incredible review counts and scores. Since we’re in such a small, niche market our locations were showing up to users throughout the city which resulted in substantial scooter rentals. It was very easy to grow the company at this time. But, after November 2021, the map pack was only available to users within a 3-5 mile radius. This caused our rental volume to decline.

STRATEGY FOR 2024 AND BEYOND

We plan to rank in the top 10 nationally for the keyword “Knee Scooter”. This keyword generates the most traffic and conversions. Most people search for “knee scooter” when they’re looking to buy. Our goal is for them to find us before they make a scooter purchase because they can rent from us very cheaply and get a knee scooter within minutes, 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year. The problem we’re facing is potential customers are not even finding our business on Google. We’re convinced that ranking nationally for our main keyword will dramatically increase the company’s growth trajectory while also giving us “scale” as we add locations throughout the United States.

LOCATIONS

We currently have 9 locations, mostly in the Southwest (Colorado, California, Arizona and New Mexico). We believe we can grow to at least 100 locations with a good online footprint. We get many referrals and repeat customers but Google typically accounts for at least 1/3 of our rentals and we’d like to expand this with a sustainable, long-term SEO effort. We can add locations quickly and cheaply to meet demand. We believe that the more locations we have the more scale we’ll be able to achieve (where the business creates synergies and feeds further growth).
