byACRE Carbon Overland All-Terrain Rollator

What is the byACRE Carbon Overland rollator?

It is a lightweight 4 wheel rollator with a carbon fibre frame and large air-filled tires, built for walking outdoors on surfaces where small plastic wheels struggle. At 14.8 lb it is easy for a caregiver or the user to lift into a car trunk, yet it carries up to 330 lb. It is sold by Medline under the byACRE name, item number BYA150OG, in Defender Green.

Who does it suit?

It suits active walkers who are steady on their feet and want a seat and brakes for rest breaks, such as people who walk a gravel path, a park or a cottage lane. For a caregiver, the low weight means less strain when loading the walker for appointments and outings.

• Walkers who go outside daily and meet grass, gravel, dirt paths or snow.
• Caregivers who lift the rollator in and out of a vehicle several times a week.
• Users up to 330 lb (150 kg) who still want a lighter frame.

It is a mobility aid for walking, not a transport chair: the seat is for resting, and the user should not be pushed in it. If balance or endurance is a concern, ask your occupational therapist or physiotherapist before choosing a model.

How does it handle rough ground?

The 9.8 in (25 cm) pneumatic tires, with inner tubes and 2.0 in wide, roll over bumps, roots and loose surface far better than the 6 to 8 in hard wheels on most indoor rollators. Because the tires hold air, check the pressure now and then and keep a small pump at home. The loop brakes have their cables hidden inside the frame, so branches and clothing are less likely to catch them.

Specifications

Full dimensions and weights are listed in the specification table above the description. Handle height adjusts from 32.7 to 37.8 in (83-96 cm), so measure the user from the floor to the wrist crease with arms relaxed before ordering. Seat height is 24.4 in (62 cm), overall width 26.6 in (67.5 cm), and the rollator folds to 11 in (28 cm) wide.

Set-up, folding and cleaning

Set the handles so the elbows bend slightly while standing upright, check both brakes before the first walk, and inflate both tires. To fold, release the seat latch and bring the frame together; it then slips beside a seat or into a trunk. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap, and dry the tires and brakes after wet or snowy outings. Manuals are on the byACRE user manuals page.

Frequently asked questions

Can this rollator go on snow and gravel?

Yes, the large pneumatic tires are made for gravel, grass and snow, though deep or icy snow remains risky for any walker.

Does the user need to lift it often?

At 14.8 lb it is far lighter than most steel rollators, which makes repeated loading into a car much easier for a caregiver.
