The product specs say the cane weighs 2 lbs. It actually feels a bit lighter. The hand grip is well padded with a soft material that makes it more comfortable than the usual hard plastic. I have two of this model and one, much heavier, large base model.

Hmmm,. I believe you are asking me if the Ez2care supports a person of "weight". Trust me, if you are, it will handle weight up to 300 lbs easily. I am not that heavy but my friend is and has one. I am over 200 and during my early time with it had to really lean on it because of my fragile health. I am improved and use a cane indoors now, but the walker outside and going to doctors etc where I might have to do alot of shopping. I did go to my CVS and get the "tennis ball" set to fit on the back legs and make it glide better, especially indoors. I think they were $9.95 and are still like new. Good luck and if I misunderstood the question, send it to me again. Hmmm,. I believe you are asking me if the Ez2care supports a person of "weight".

The cane is not heavy but the legs are long & higher off the ground so it tips easy. It was OK wen I was steady but as I became weaker it would tip over wen I leaned on. Many canes have shorter more spread out legs which would be safer at her age. My profession was caring 4 elderly b4 my handicap.

Well, I can't really answer about how much it weighs, but it is not light. (I mean, a small woman couldn't carry it). That being said, it's a terrific product and very sturdy. Even though I am now walking with a cane, (hip replacement) I still use it for carrying wash, etc. Good luck!

Not quite sure what you are asking but I think it is a fabulous cane. It doesn't stand on it's own but it is light and easy to pull apart so you can put it into a bag or on a seat.

I have not weighed the HurryCane but can tell it is light enough that my 89-year old mother uses it and loves it. She put away the cane she was using because she loves using the HurryCane.

Best to check with the company, however the person using the cane is about 220 lbs. and it seems to work fine.

First, I stepped on my household scale -- YIKES!. Then, I held the cane and re-weighed myself. I weighed an additional 2 pounds. It wasn't scientific, but at least it gives you an idea of its weight. I really like this cane and liked it even more since we've had a lot of snow and I feel secure when walking in the snow with this cane.

if you can lift the cane, you should be able to lift this foot base. I don't know the ounces of tis item but its WAY lighter than a gallon of milk. its a heavy weight rubber material as far as strength goes, but it does NOT weigh a lot as to being able to pick it up. my mother is 73 and she has 3 of them on her various canes and LOVES them dearly! I hope this helps.

It is quite heavy and would be troublesome on a folding cane. I love mine, but it's on a regular metal carex cane. Hope this helps.

It's very light. There is absolutely no comparison with regular cane. I've had both, and I'm sticking with the Hugo!

It is far more sturdy than a single tip cane. The quad tip does not pivot which is a fine feature. Also: this cane doesn't break down like a fold-up cane; thus keeping the same stability as a single tip cane. It is an all along very nice cane to have. Great for dry, wet, snowy and icy weather. BUT REMBER! Ice is always tricky no matter what. I gave two of these away for Christmas and my friends love them. Good Luck !!

No, it is not a quad cane. It has an enlarged foot on it, but it won't stand up easily on its own.

I have looked at the four point tips available for this cane, but have not taken the plunge to try one. I was worried that this lighter weight came wouldn't work as well with it. I did check the specs and there is one made in the correct size, so I may try it at some point.

I think a cane would be too big. However, I use the two walking poles as arthritis aids and like them very much. I felt unbalanced with just a cane on one side.

Not sure what you're asking but I think the Hugo Ultra Stable for left or right hand is so stable I can't think that the extra piece would make it better. Try it just as it is and I think you will find it the most stable of the quad canes.

No! The cane I received is not like the cane in the picture. The cane I received is light weight and flexes or bends when I lean on it.
