Our verdict

Handling:

Easy.

Hand grips:

Model tested had uncomfortable, hard moulded hand grips. Thicker, softer grips on new models may be more comfortable.

Brakes:

Easy to operate, and effective.

Folding:

Tricky - needs two hands and the frame is heavy. Does not stand when folded. Model tested could be used with catch not fully on - new models have different catch which should solve this.

Comments:

Doubles as a wheelchair for occasional use. OK on very smooth surfaces, but difficult to push.
