I am concerned about care-aide reaching down to set the brakes on transporter. Is some type of height extension available? We live on steep hill

Not that I am aware of. With a little practice you can set the brake using your foot.

I'm not aware of any way to "extend" the brake. While this is a very handy light weigh transport chair I'd be a little concerned about any significant and/or long term use outdoors. Even if it will always be pushed by a care giver I think a wheel chair (large rear wheels) is more suitable for sidewalks, parking lots, etc.

Have you tried the gas lift to adjust the height, up and down? That's the only way I know if you have assembled it correctly.

We adjusted the height on ours with a simple hacksaw. Worked fine and the ladder is very useful. There were directions on exactly how and where to cut it to shorten it.

There is an adjustment underneath the seat to lower or raise the height.. Did you make the adjustment..

It is possible to take the wheels off. I'll measure tonight and let you know how tall that would be...

There is quite a bit of adjustment for the distance between the chair and the peddals, however, the upper handle might be too high for you. There is no way to lower the handle/display part.

you can buy kits to highten the handlebar. I raised mine by approximately 3-4 inches. Montague also sells a kit for that matter, although that is not wht I bought.

I'm just a little over 5' and my husband had to cut down the seat stem and adjust the handlebars. I still have trouble reaching them to brake.

The hydraulic lift can be stopped/adjusted at any height. The only problem with this table is the kids have a hard time pressing the button to make the adjustment. Takes some hand strength to press it properly.

Yikes..it may not be long enough? My Mom is not tall..about 5'4 and I can adjust the foot pedals for her. Sorry, this may not help you?

My mother who uses this is 5'1" and she's at the low height limit of what this walker can handle. There is a short-height ("hemi height) version of the Drive Nitro rollator available for people about 5'2" and under, similar in design but with a lower seat and handles.

that height is fine, it depends more on foot size! :) My feet are US 13, and they didn't clear the cross bar at back of machine, so kept hitting it. See my notes on how to raise the platform up so bigger feet will clear it. I understand the more expensive one has corrected the problem. I'd get the more expensive one if at all possible, not worth the trouble to alter the cheaper one unless you got it at a steal. enjoy

I have found that the only way to adjust the bike is by raising or lowering the seat. But at the lower level my 8 year old grand daughter, who is shorter than 4'11" is able to ride comfortably. I really like this product. It is sturdy and works great.

No more than a foot or so. It's short so any higher than that would be pretty steep.

They are around 160mm or 6 inches high. My van (Transit connect) got on with no problems, they'd be a little bit of an issue with a lower vehicle. I did find a little mod to enable lower cars to get on, but you'll have to Google that one.

You can raise or lower the ride with this product. I raised my 64 Impala 1 inch with the screw in metal spacers. They might be a bit simpler to install.

While the quality of the bike is excellent, I am disappointed since I cannot ride it! It is described as being for people as short as 4' 7", but at 5' it is still too tall for me! Maybe your wife's extra two inches will make it usable for her. It cost me an additional $50 to have it assembled. I would be happy to sell my unused bike to you . . . it's in excellent condition!
