Drive Medical AeroCarbon Ultra-Lite Rollator Canada, 11.5 lb Carbon Fiber Walker with Seat
AeroCarbon Ultra-Lite Rollator, 11.5 lb of Carbon Fiber At 11.5 lbs, the AeroCarbon Ultra-Lite Rollator is the lightest four wheel rollator Drive Medical makes, and one of the lightest we carry. The carbon fiber frame still supports up to 330 lbs, so nothing about the support is compromised to save the weight. If the rollator goes in and out of a car most days, those pounds are the whole difference between going out and staying home. Who Is the AeroCarbon For? Anyone who lifts a rollator into a trunk, onto a bus, or up a step on their own People who want carbon fiber without paying the premium carbon fiber usually asks for Users who need a higher weight rating than most ultralight rollators offer Taller users, with handles that reach 37.6 in Anyone who wants a rollator that looks modern rather than clinical Carbon Fiber, Weld Free, 11.5 lb Carbon fiber gives you stiffness without mass. The frame is weld free, which means fewer joints to work loose and fewer replacement parts over the life of the rollator, and it carries a matte finish rather than the usual painted tube look. Bigger Wheels Than Most Ultralights 9.5 in front wheels and 8 in rear wheels roll over sidewalk seams, thresholds and packed gravel instead of stopping at them. Most rollators this light run smaller wheels and give up outdoor confidence to do it. Enclosed Brake Cables The brake cables run inside the frame, so there is nothing to snag on a doorway, a chair leg or a coat. Squeeze the levers up to slow down, push them down until they click to park before you sit. Seat, Backrest and Storage A 17.5 in wide seat at a 23 in seat height gives you somewhere to rest on a longer outing, with an ergonomic backrest behind it. The seat height is on the taller side, which many people find easier to stand up from. A storage bag rated to 11 lb carries your keys, phone and shopping.
