Collection: uplivin

Uplivin is a UK mobility brand that designs rollator wheelchairs to help older adults stay active, confident, and connected. Its best-known model, the Uplivin Glide 2-in-1 Rollator & Wheelchair, works as a walker when you have the energy to walk and as a transport chair when you need a rest. That means one device instead of two.

What Is a 2-in-1 Rollator Wheelchair?

A 2-in-1 rollator wheelchair (also called a hybrid rollator or rollator transport chair) combines two mobility aids in one frame:

• Rollator mode: You walk behind the frame and use it for balance, with four wheels, hand brakes, and a seat for resting.
• Transport chair mode: You sit facing forward with a backrest and footrests while a caregiver pushes the chair.

Hybrids suit people who can walk short distances but tire on longer outings, such as trips to the doctor, the grocery store, the park, or family events.

Why Choose Uplivin?

• Simple switching: A pin-in, pin-out system converts the Glide between rollator and transport chair without tools.
• Built for two: The patented handle design supports the walker as they walk and gives the caregiver a comfortable push handle in chair mode.
• Lightweight and foldable: At about 22 lbs (10 kg), it folds for car trunks, closets, and travel.
• Supports up to 300 lbs (136 kg).
• Comfort features: A plush padded seat, supportive backrest, and parking brakes.
• Vintage styling: Retro-inspired colors such as British Racing Green, Moss Blue, and Moon Black look less clinical than standard gray frames.
• 3-year manufacturer warranty.

How to Choose the Right Rollator Wheelchair

1. Check weight capacity: Pick a model rated comfortably above the user's weight.
2. Consider who pushes: In chair mode, hybrids are caregiver-propelled, not self-propelled like a standard wheelchair.
3. Measure your car and home: Compare the folded size with your trunk space, doorways, and hallways.
4. Match the terrain: Think about where it will be used most, such as indoors, on sidewalks, or on gravel paths.
5. Get a fitting: A physical or occupational therapist can confirm whether a hybrid rollator is right for your balance, endurance, and safety needs.

Uplivin FAQ

Are the Uplivin Glide and Gavo the same?

Yes. The Glide and Gavo are the same 2-in-1 model, sold under different names in different markets.

Can I self-propel the Uplivin Glide?

No. In seated mode it is a transport chair and needs a caregiver to push it.

Is a rollator wheelchair covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by plan. Some buyers use FSA or HSA funds for mobility aids. Check eligibility directly with your insurer or plan administrator.
