can you get wheeled legs to replace the ones with skis?

I don't think so. I love this walker. A friend bought one after I got mine and it has made life so much easier for both of us. The mere weight of about 6 lbs doesn't make rear wheels necessary. To be able to sit in the drivers seat, fold the walker and pass it over me to put it on the passenger seat, WHAT FREEDOM. I highly recommend.

I don't think so. The walker is not made to be like a rollater. It is just a big help to pack in the car and zip it out for a quick walk to enter a restaurant with friends. The walker will not do for long term moving. I, hoped it would be more than it is.......but

I really don't know if you can replace the skis with wheels...I got the wheels in the front and the skis in the backand it works fine for me. Why don't you call Amazon and ask them, I am sure they will have an answer for you.Good Luck...Jeanne

That is a good question. It is a good walker, but I have no idea about getting wheels to replace the skis. Maybe the manufacturer knows the answer. Who is the manufacturer?

Hi Barbara, I don't know about wheels but I replaced my skis with tennis balls that I bought from the very friendly, helpful seller from whom I purchased it. They have worked well for me so far. Dianne (dianneshubin@verizon.net)

I replaced the wheeles with something similar to these, but cheeper (http://www.rockler.com/french-country-bun-feet) and put these (http://www.rockler.com/screw-on-tee-nuts-choose-size-thread) in the holes the wheels went into. Added maybe an Inch and a half, but as an Island in our kitchen, it worked out. Im sure you could find legs closer to the size that the wheels are if you look around. I've had it almost 6 months, and its solid.

No; it does not come with wheels but it looks like you could do a do-it-yourself "retrofit" if you absolutely have to have them.

If they are shaped skis and you buy two sets of these, I don't see why not.

It's possible if the leg caps aren't put on, but I don't know if the wheels would fit snug in the opening.

Hello Joy, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! We cannot recommend adding wheels on the back legs of this walker as it would decrease the user's stability.

If they were the same kind of wheel ,But if not you would need to replace the wheels as well as the axle or make a new bottom plate ,would not be worth it ,this unit is not going to hold up to a lot of use a lot of plastic ,I would not buy it not worth the money they are asking ,I would not pay over 50.00 bucks for it, I bought one after 2 days it started falling apart I sent it back ,the lock supports are plastic as well they broke ,

Here is my experience...the wheels/skids are interchangeable. However that means that you have to purchase a second walker and rob the wheels from one to put on the second. The downside is that there are no hand brakes (as with other wheeled walkers). I was willing to do this and kept the second walker on hand just as a 'spare'. The convenience of the weight and collapsible frame is something my husband can maneuver in and out of the car on his own and it gives him more stability than just using a cane.

I don't believe that would be possible as the foot and arm pieces are jointly working together. But even with them attached you can use the machine easily without using the ski pole as there are hand grips as well on the machine.

Yes you can. Usually stores that you buy the wheels from will put them on for you.

Yes you can change them they just slip on with a spacer between each one and there is just one nut on the end to remove the wheels. Not a problem takes like 2 minutes to change a wheel. Very good buffing system.

Sure. The legs, front and back, have the same diameter and alignment mechanisms. Maybe the ski pads will be angled wrong when you switch them but that will be easy enough to rectify. Taking it a step further, I replaced front and back legs with larger units thus giving myself larger wheels on all four corners as I find the ski pad thing unworkable. The Standers unit uses much smaller diameter tubing than just about all other walkers so I spent an afternoon in the local hardware store making up shims from pipe fittings and pieces of a bicycle inner tube.

The feet screw into the bottom so I would imagine if you can find wheels with the same screw size as the feet that it should be a fairly simple mod.

yes there is ... wheels ... handleit's not a lot but you still need some tools

No, you can't. You can't on the original ones on the snow blower either. The skidplate (which can also be purchased here) that mounts to the lower front edge of the blower, however, can be flipped to get twice the life.

Yes and no. You would have to modify the forks and change the wheels. That would cost a lot to do . You'll better of just buying a bike with all that.
