A rollator is a walker with wheels used as a walking aid and to improve mobility for the elderly or people with disabilities. It has three or four wheels, a built-in seat and handlebars. It allows you to walk more easily on most surfaces and rest if necessary on the seat. You can also buy accessories for a rollator such as a basket, cane holder, shopping bag, backrest, etc.
Unlike walkers, rollators have wheels and a built-in seat, allowing the user to rest after moving. They are robust enough to allow the user to support their weight and also take breaks. Rollators are more effective than walkers without wheels, as the latter cause users to tire faster, use more energy, and move shorter distances.
There are many types of rollators on the market. They may include any of the following features:
- Adjustable: Adjustable rollators allow you to change the height of the seat and handlebars. This feature is essential if you want the most comfortable design for your body.
- Brakes: Most rollators include brakes on the handlebars. This feature provides additional safety when using the device downhill or other inclined surfaces.
- Foldable: should be folded easily
Overall, rollators are a great option for older or disabled people who need help walking and want to maintain their independence. If you are considering purchasing a rollator, it is important to choose one that suits your individual needs and preferences.
Why choose a lightweight rollator?
A lightweight walker with 3 or 4 wheels (rollator) is the most comfortable companion for an active daily life. The light weight of some walkers allows you to maneuver them easily, while ensuring a smooth and stable ride. And because of its light weight, you can easily put it in your car or take it with you on the bus or train when you go somewhere. The light weight is also useful when climbing stairs or over curbs and other obstacles when you are out walking.
These are just some of the key reasons why we have focused on the light weight of our walkers. We want your everyday experience to be hassle-free and safe.

Weight vs stability
A walker with wheels or rollator that is light and stable is not the easiest to find. In fact, it's a difficult balance between most models. Manufacturers work hard to develop walkers that are extremely lightweight and super stable to help you maintain an active lifestyle.
Light weight is super important, because it is the key component to giving people with reduced mobility the freedom to stay mobile and active. The walkers are light thanks to the incorporation of cutting-edge materials such as carbon fiber, recognized for its exceptional lightness and durability. For example, all lightweight walkers from the Danish manufacturer byACRE are still very stable to, without a doubt, help you when you need it and guarantee you a safe and stable walk. They are designed so that the weight of the walker is distributed evenly, while you position yourself close to the walker, all to increase control and therefore stability. Plus, the wheels will resist quick turns and prevent wobbly walks, for a safer and more comfortable walking experience.
Functionality + aesthetics = the perfect product
In our opinion, functionality and design cannot be mutually exclusive; They must be united to create a product that makes a difference. The user must look for functional products but with modern, elegant, different and innovative aesthetics that make a difference for the user. One's rollator should be motivating and move people to keep moving and exploring.
