User Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the KneeRover®
Economy Knee Scooter!
The KneeRover®Economy Knee Scooter provides a more reliable and
comfortable alternative to crutches for patients needing an effective
mobility solution at an affordable price.
Operating Instructions:
This medical device is designed to maximize mobility during your recovery
from foot/ankle surgery or injury.
Place the knee of your injured leg on the knee platform and stand as
straight as possible. Adjust the handlebar to waist height so the arms and
hands are in a comfortable position. Adjust the knee platform so that your
injured leg is supported at a 90 degree angle when standing.
Ensure that the hand brake is fully engaged before mounting the
KneeRover®scooter. To move the scooter, simply push forwards or
backwards with your good foot. Allow the scooter to glide, and as it slows
down, push again.
Safety First:
The KneeRover®scooter is designed for easy steering and stopping and
should be used to carefully move about at slow, controlled speeds. When
turning the scooter you should have the brake applied and be moving at a
slow, safe, controlled speed. It is easy to tip the scooter if you are making a
turn with too much speed. Use caution and balance and operate at your
own risk.
With routine use, nuts and bolts on the steering column and brake
mechanism can and likely will become loose. Periodically check nuts and
bolts after use and re-tighten as appropriate.

Set Up Instructions:
Please follow the step by step instructions on the following pages to
properly assemble your KneeRover®scooter. The diagram below
identifies the key components of the scooter to aid with assembly.
Visit kneerover.com for assembly videos.
Setup Instructions:
Step 1: Install Handlebars & Steering Column
Please carefully complete all steps before operating your new KneeRover
scooter. The steering column and handlebars will be separate and in a
folded position when unpacking. Insert the handlebars into the steering
column, making sure not to twist the brake cables. Next, raise the steering
column and push the clamp lever to the left to allow security pin to lock into
place (as shown below). Raise the clamp lever upward and tighten by
turning it clockwise. Finally, push clamp lever down firmly to secure the
steering column (as shown below). Reverse these steps when needing to
lower steering column for transport.
Step 2: Rotate Front Wheels & Set Guide Pin
Pull down the guide pin ring as shown below, and turn the handlebars so
that the front wheels and brake handles are facing forward. The BACK
sticker MUST be facing back toward the rear wheels with the guide
pin between the guide stops. (see photos on top of next page). Be sure
that the brake cables are not twisted. The front of the scooter should look
similar to the picture on the previous page.

Step 3: Install Knee Platform & Adjust Height
The knee platform is designed to be used with either the right or left
leg. Insert the knee platform post into the receptacle tube. Next, set
the knee platform at your desired height for use by inserting the
locking pin through the aligned holes. Finally, tighten the clamp lever
to secure the knee platform in place. Once knee platform is locked in
place, install the black knob (as shown below) to set the handlebars at
a comfortable height for operation (typically at waist height).
Step 4: Brake Operation
To engage the brake, squeeze the brake lever on handle bar.
Your KneeRover®scooter comes equipped with a brake lock /
parking brake. Simply squeeze brake handle firmly and press the
button to engage the lock. To release the lock, squeeze the brake
handle again.
Ongoing Maintenance
With routine use, nuts and bolts on the steering column and brake
assembly can become loose. To ensure safe continuous operation of
this KneeRover®scooter, it is important to periodically inspect the
scooter for loose nuts and bolts and re-tighten as appropriate.
