I ordered this rollator/walker for a trip to Downeast Maine. Having been to the area before, I knew that there would be beautiful ocean view hiking trails, pebbled or dirt, with large roots and stumps. Also inclines. My arthritic hip has gotten worse recently, and I have been advised to get a hip replacement. Although I can walk about a mile with hiking poles, I knew that those hiking paths would be out of reach. So, after much online research, I ordered this rollator. It came within the promised 8 days from Denmark. (Thank you!!). I hiked paths from 2-3.5 miles with the aforementioned obstacles. The rubber tires are great, as is the seat when you need a short rest. I was concerned about the backwards handles; they were actually very comfortable. A couple people on the trails asked about this; I can walk fast with it. I am 5'6", 158 pounds, and it is the perfect size for me with the handles up to the 5th hole. Using this is less stressful on my arms/hands than the hiking poles. The design promotes correct upright posture while walking. It is very easy for me to lift into my car; it fit behind the seat as the trunk of my smallish SUV was filled with my sister's and my luggage for two weeks. I am excited that I will now be able to join my husband and German Shepherd pup on their nightly walks in the woods again, using this till I get the surgery.
