The rollator

Designed for the ground, not the showroom floor

Every part of this rollator answers a specific outdoor problem we observed in the field — not a spec sheet written for a hospital corridor.

Key technical factors

What actually changes outdoor performance

Wheel size, structural stability, material selection, and terrain adaptability are the factors that most influence practical outdoor usability. Larger wheels and more durable, outdoor-oriented materials show up again and again as the difference between a rollator that gets used daily, and one that ends up in a closet.

Improved stability

Reduced vibration

Improved maneuverability

Increased user comfort

Specification

Built around one number: 8.9kg

International procurement guidance recommends a maximum weight of 16kg for an active urban wheelchair. At 8.9kg, this rollator is significantly lighter — easier for users and caregivers to handle, and lighter on material use.

Why polyurethane wheels

The material choice behind the ride

1

Shock absorption

Polyurethane has an elastomeric "memory" — it returns to shape after compression, absorbing shock and damping vibration far better than hard plastic wheels.

2

Puncture-free

Solid construction means no air to leak and nothing to puncture on rough ground — less downtime, less maintenance, more days actually in use.

3

Built to last

High wear resistance and load-bearing capacity mean the wheels hold their shape and performance well beyond a single season of daily outdoor use.

Design priorities

Every choice traces back to a field observation

Rest, don't push through fatigue

At any point, the user can lock the brakes and sit down — directly addressing fatigue over distances beyond 500 meters.

Fold it, take it with you

A compact, foldable configuration that actually fits in the boot of a taxi or the aisle of a matatu.

Fits the person, not the other way around

Adjustable handle height, so the rollator adapts to the user rather than forcing a posture.
