    Summer is the season of outdoor fun, adventures in the sun, and enjoying the beauty of nature. But if you’re recovering from a lower leg, foot, or ankle injury, you might feel like you’re missing out on the best parts of the season. Not so with the Orthomate Knee Scooter by StrideOn! This mobility aid is designed to help you get out and enjoy the summer safely and comfortably. Here’s why the Orthomate is your perfect companion for all summer activities, and how you can make the most of the sunny days ahead.

    Why Choose the Orthomate This Summer?
    The Orthomate isn’t just any knee scooter; it’s specifically engineered for ease of use, comfort, and versatility, making it ideal for the active individual looking to enjoy the outdoors, even with mobility challenges.

    1. Designed for Outdoor Use:
    The Orthomate features wide pneumatic tyres that help you handle pavements, car parks, promenades, parklands and other relatively even outdoor terrains.
    The handy Basket comes as Standard and is ideal for popping a waterproof jacket in…just in case! You can also choose other accessories to make being out-and-about that bit more comfortable. We have a multi-compartment lunch box/picnic box that fits upright in the basket with a carry handle to easily lift it out, a drinks holder that you attach to handlebar and a specially selected hot/cold insulated mug with splash-proof lid that fits the holder perfectly. If you opt for all 3 as the Comfort Pack Deal, you can also make a tidy saving too.

    2. Comfort and Stability:
    With its 3-inch cushioned orthopaedic knee pad, the Orthomate ensures your injured leg is supported and comfortable, reducing fatigue as you enjoy your outdoor activities. The dual brake system offers added safety, allowing you to lock the wheels and enjoy stable support whenever you need to pause and take in your surroundings or chat with friends.

    3. Easy to Transport and Store:
    The Orthomate is designed to be foldable, which makes it incredibly easy to transport and store. Whether you’re heading to a picnic or a day out at the park, you can easily pack your Orthomate in the car boot and set it up within minutes upon arrival. Take it on holiday wherever you go and scoot the airport lounge or glide the decks and passageways of the cruise-ship.
