Why Rent a Knee Scooter?

A knee scooter is a faster, more stable way to get around than crutches during a non-weight-bearing recovery. You rest the injured leg on a padded platform and roll — no sore armpits, no balancing act, no risk of the strain that crutches or folding walkers put on the shoulders and hands.

Renting makes sense when the injury is temporary. Most foot and ankle recoveries run a few weeks to a couple of months, so a weekly or monthly rental costs far less than buying a scooter you’ll retire once you heal. When you’re done, you return it — no storage, no resale.

 

Nova Knee Scooter Features & Specs

We rent the Nova knee walker, a steerable, foldable scooter built for comfort and easy transport. Key features:

  • Weight capacity: 300 lbs
  • User height range: 4’11” to 6’2″
  • Adjustable height: knee platform and handlebars adjust to fit the user
  • Foldable design: folding steering column for transport and storage
  • Brake system: dual rear hand brakes with a locking mechanism
  • Padded knee platform for comfort during extended recovery
  • Indoor and outdoor use on smooth, stable surfaces

Safe use: knee scooters are not designed for use on stairs. Check the brakes and steering before each use, and keep the knee pad and handlebars adjusted to your height for stable, comfortable control.

  • Foot, ankle, or lower-leg fractures

  • Diabetic ulcers and wound care requiring offloading
  • Bunionectomies and other foot surgeries

Why Rent From Wishing Well Medical?

Wishing Well Medical is a full-service medical equipment store, not an online-only seller. You get a stocked showroom to try the scooter before renting, on-site repair technicians if anything needs adjustment, and a staff with 100+ years of combined experience — all from a family-owned Westside institution operating since 1976.

Our West LA location also makes us a practical stop for travelers. We’re minutes from Santa Monica and roughly fifteen minutes from LAX, so visitors recovering from an injury — or arriving to help a family member — can rent a knee scooter for the length of their stay instead of shipping or buying one. We deliver across LA County, including to hotels, for a fee.
