i would want to use this outdoors on steep hills.i am concerned that going down a steep incline the walker might tend to want to go faster than i

There are hand brakes on each handlebar that work on the rear wheels. Very effective, They also can be locked to act as parking brakes. WALT

The brakes on the handles work great and slows it down as you are walking down hill.

I do not feel that this walker would ever go faster than you'r individual walk. The walker does what you do BEST, not what you do not want it to do. The walker works with you.

You would definitely need to ride the brakes to keep it from going to fast. It might also be difficult to use on rough terrain.

The hand brakes work very well and would keep the walker from going to fast.

The wheels only work on hard services like concrete; if the brakes are in proper adjustment it should not run away with you

It's a well made unit but seems more designed for smooth, flat or even sloped surfaces. You may want to look for something with larger diameter wheels and a larger footprint to provide more stability. You might also consider no wheels at all, just a fixed walker when outside. It'll depend a great deal on how rough the terrain is where you plan to travel.

Not really. It's good for walking on an incline but I'd look around for a better one. This one seems to be weak in the rear for running.

I use it on the street and sidewalk as a jogger. The only thing that I would like better is a front wheel that swivels while running. The stationary wheel is nice on the trails though

Very intriguing idea. It would not be too dangerous if you dragged it up hill. You would not be in the path of gravity. If you stand below it, most people would say it is dangerous. I would be willing to do it by being vigilant and nimble.

I personally think it would be better suited for outside, but it is small enough to be used inside. It just rolls VERY freely/easily.

I doubt it will slip out of your hands. I have not tried placing it on an incline. I personally like how it is, however that's up to the consumer.

i disagree. i had problems getting up steep hills with this scooter so i returned it. i am a 180 lb man and this scooter is not designed for adults who go long distances or up steep hills.

Will work very well over many types of terrain for the first few (3) uses. But it breaks quickly and with only 30 day return window....good luck

I wouldn't recommend it for outside. Although the plastic seems tough, I think the elements would cause it to crack. Plus the treads are a carpet material. If that got wet, I think it would get moldy. I would get one of the expandable ramps for outside; they're good for the car too.

It is easier to go on an angle rather than straight up the hill. As long as the ground is smooth, the grass is dry and not too tall its not a problem. Turning is no problem at all due to its lightweight. We use it almost daily when dry in small sections at a time. The biggest problem is having to empty the bin frequently so we keep a large bucket handy to collect clippings and use as feed (or bedding when dried).

It might be okay for a very short distance if moved slowly but I don't think it would stand up well for prolonged use on a gravel surface. On paved surfaces it is great for the price.

If you had real level ground you possibly could use it outside, but the way the legs are made you could only use on level ground.

A very strong and tough cart, but to make it last a long time, I would not recommend using on dirt roads. I used it on grassy hill with a heavy load. It worked, but was hard on my back to push. Smooth surfaces, the cart maneuver easily.

I would think it would do ok. We bought it knowing some of our walking paths are not paved. The tires are not "off-road" but for mostly dirt I would think they would hold up for occasional off road trips.

I don't see why not. I use my cart outdoors on dirt paths and it works great. I do not know how the wheels go on other surfaces or if they might mark floors but based on other comments it sounds like that isn't an issue.

I mainly use it for sidewalks but occasionly go on a slight dirt path and it does ok. It's definitely more for pathed walks though.
