From rollator to wheelchair

The Rollz wheelchair package has been designed for those who like to take a break during their walk. The Rollz Motion turns from a rollator into a wheelchair in less than a minute, and just as easy back into a rollator.

The Rollz wheelchair function is meant to fit one person only. The product may sustain damage if used by several persons at once.

The Rollz wheelchair function may carry no more than 125 kg.

The Rollz wheelchair function is very easy to use. The wheelchair bag can be attached to the Rollz Motion before you start. To take a break, all you have to do is fold out the pack, put the footrests in place and turn the handles around.
