Question 1

Does insurance cover purchase

Accepted Answer

My insurance covers these 100% with their preferred vendors. Outside of preferred vendors, it goes towards out-of-pocket deductible. Thus, buying the one I want on Amazon will go towards my deductible.  Otherwise, the preferred vendors I called only rent them (by the month) and they are used and can’t guarantee a specific model. Hope that helps.

Question 2

How do I adjust the brake?

Accepted Answer

Push it forward till it locks

Question 3

What is the benefit of having tie rod steering on a knee scooter?

Accepted Answer

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but my husband is. ;-) He had explained to me during my use of the scooter that while the limitations of tie rod were annoying, it was necessary. While the tie rod steering severely restricts the turning radius, it had very much protected me from toppling over by "cutting" the turn too tightly.

However... the way I overcame the limited turning radius was to put fabric steering wheel covers on each tire (for indoor hard floor use or for outdoor deck use). This allowed me to "slide" the front wheels sideways. I doubt the manufacturer's lawyers would sign off on such a behavior, but I found that fix much safer and way less annoying than doing a bunch of 3-point turns to make a 90* turn.

I must say: I really really appreciated the sturdiness and safety of this QUAD KneeRover. Frankly, I would NOT get one any less robust. I could REALLY zip around very SAFELY. At the time of my surgery/recovery, I was 60 yo/155#. My full foot reconstruction required me to be totally non-weight bearing for a full 3 months. This scooter made that easily possible. I never once toppled over. BTW - I have lots of post-foot-surgery tips. Feel free to contact me, if you have any other questions! Godspeed.

Question 4

What type of valve do the tires have? Shrader, Presta, Dunlop?

Accepted Answer

They are regular Schrader valves - angled outwards about 70 degrees to allow easier pump connection than if it was straight up on the small mag wheel. Tires inflate to 45psi.
