Additional Resources

Why would I want to change the width of the front axle?

This is a unique feature of the Nitro Glide. You can narrow the axle to 16 inches to easily navigate through narrow doorways and tight indoor corners. When you go outside, you can widen it to 20 inches to provide a more stable base on uneven sidewalks or pavement, significantly reducing the risk of tipping.

Is the braking system better than a standard knee scooter?

Yes. Most knee scooters use a basic "rubbing" brake against the wheel. The Nitro Glide uses integrated disc brakes, which are much more responsive and provide smoother, more reliable stopping power. It also features a push-button parking brake to keep the unit stationary when you're getting on or off.

Will the knee pad work for both my left and right leg?

Absolutely. The padded leg support is reversible and offset. This means you can flip it to match whichever leg is injured. The offset design is particularly helpful because it keeps the pad further away from your "pushing" leg, preventing you from accidentally kicking the frame as you move.

How do I know if this will fit my height?

The Nitro Glide is highly adjustable. The handlebars adjust from 30 to 39 inches, and the knee pad adjusts from 17 to 23 inches. Generally, this range accommodates users between approximately 5'3" and 6'5".

Can I use this on different types of ground?

The Nitro Glide is built for versatility. It has large 10-inch front wheels that roll easily over indoor flooring and outdoor obstacles like small cracks or bumps. When paired with the wide-axle setting, it is one of the most stable options for outdoor use.

Does it require tools for assembly or adjustments?

Most adjustments, including handle and knee pad height, are completely tool-free. The frame itself is designed for quick assembly and features a simple folding mechanism, making it convenient if you need to frequently put it in the car for doctor appointments.

Needed to get a knee walker, nothing was open on a weekend except Copper Star. I prefer to do business with locally owned anyway, so we went up to 40th St & Bell, got the rental I needed and while there, my son picked up supplies for his CPAP. That was a Bonus.

After spending at least 2.5 hours going from one pharmacy to another looking for great quality compression socks, a customer in the pharmacy that I was at at that moment, heard me mumbling to myself by the small collection of compression socks in that store! We spoke for a moment and she told me to go to Copper Star Home Medical Supplies NE corner of Power and Southern in Mesa! After profusely thanking her, I was on my way! When I saw the Copper Star store I felt so relieved! I opened the door and was greeted by a lovely lady, she asked what I was looking for and I told her what I needed and within five minutes she was measuring me for the right size socks, making sure I was happy with the socks and told me how to care for them! Great service, and a pleasure to sit and have someone decide what I needed! Thank you to the lady in the pharmacy and thank you to the lady in Copper Star! Blessings to you both! Jana C. P.S. they have all sorts of medical items in this store, please check them out!
