What is the Zubu?

The Zubu is an innovative solution that turns an electric walker into a power wheelchair. The versatile hybrid power mobility aid allows you to walk, ride and rest safely. The electric folding rollator converts into an electric wheelchair in just seconds!

The mobility aid provides additional support to maintain your balance or stability while walking.

The latest Zubu - Model ZB01 - has incorporated a few important upgrades, like larger cushioning front wheels, greater 120kg weight capacity, and improved battery life.

Unique dual function of the Zubu

Some people need a walker, some people need a wheelchair—some need both. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a walker that could also function as a wheelchair? The Zubu has this unique function!

The Zubu is a 2-in-1 electric rollator that easily transforms into an electric wheelchair. This dual function is very convenient for those who like to walk with a walker, but need some help when they are tired.

The Zubu combines the features of a walker, with attributes of a wheelchair that can be pushed by your partner or carer. But you can also drive the 2 in 1 wheelchair rollator yourself with the joystick attached to your armrest. That way, you turn the power wheelchair into a mobility scooter as well!

Navigate streets, curbs, footpaths with this hybrid 2-in-1 electric wheelchair rollator! The folding design makes it ideal to put in the boot of the car.
