Which Rollator Walker is right for me?

Outdoor Rollator Walkers

Outdoor Rollator Walkers are classic Rollator Walkers that help you maintain mobility in everyday life. They ensure that you can walk securely even on difficult terrain.

Rollator Walkers for outdoor use are usually characterized by sturdy tires that ensure you can rely on secure footing. The extra-large wheels and the position of the axles also provide a safe gait.

Indoor Rollator Walkers

The Indoor Rollator Walker, or Rollator Walkers for the home, are designed for domestic use. They contribute to safety within your own four walls and support you in leading an independent life for a long time. Indoor Rollator Walkers are usually particularly slim and agile so that you can also pass through narrow hallways.

Since the seat surface on the Indoor Rollator Walker is usually not needed, it is replaced by a practical tray.

Lightweight Rollator Walkers

Modern Lightweight Rollator Walkers nowadays consist of lightweight aluminum or steel tubes, but often also of carbon, called Carbon Rollator Walker, a very light and stable composite material. This type of Rollator Walker features a less massive construction with more elaborate designs that give the Rollator Walker its low weight. The weight is usually in the range of 5-7 kg. These models are robust and stable and in most cases even foldable and thus easy to transport. These features make the Lightweight Rollator Walker a practical companion for excursions or travel.

Travel Rollator Walkers

Travel Rollator Walkers combine space-saving design with good driving characteristics. They are usually, like the Lightweight Rollator Walkers, very lightweight and foldable. The Travel Rollator Walkers are good companions for travel by plane, train, and can also be transported in smaller trunks. With a Rollator Walker travel bag, the Rollator Walker can be transported safely and protected. They are also suitable as a practical seat to bridge waiting times, e.g., in queues at the airport, waiting for the bus, or at the buffet.

Special Rollator Walkers

Special Rollator Walkers are made for people in specific situations. For example, there are Rollator Walkers for patients with Parkinson's disease, which, due to the higher Rollator Walker weight, are intended to prevent tipping over. There are also Rollator Walkers specially designed for rheumatism and arthritis patients with limited hand strength. Likewise, broader, particularly tall, or small people find a way to stay mobile with XXL Rollator Walkers, for example.

Different Rollator Walker Wheels

The most commonly used materials for Rollator Walker wheels are TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) and TPU (thermoplastic elastomers) rubber materials. These types of rubber can withstand heavy loads despite their softness.

Soft rubber tires can be used both for walks on forest paths and for urban tours over cobblestones. Since air is foamed into the soft rubber during manufacturing, its cushioning ability increases and it absorbs unevenness on the running path, which increases walking comfort. Due to their usually wider and good tread, these tires offer more grip.

Air tires are the most flexible and best cushioning tires, but they have the disadvantage that there is a risk of a flat tire. They are therefore maintenance-intensive and must be regularly checked for air pressure.

Rollator Walkers with Special Features

For people who need help climbing stairs, Rollator Walkers with stair assistance are particularly suitable. E-Rollator Walkers support you if you no longer have the strength to push a Rollator Walker independently or want to walk longer distances. The ranges with one battery charge usually cover about 20 km (or 10 hours of operation). The battery can be charged at a home socket or at e-bike charging stations.
