We’re always looking to make the lives of those who have multiple sclerosis easier. Our job is to help you feel empowered and more free, without feeling like you have to compromise, because a rollator should feel like something that liberates you, not something that holds you back.
It can be hard to wrap your head around starting to use a rollator; it can even feel like a shift in your identity, with hard-wired images of the old and frail popping up in your mind when you think of shifting over to a rollator, but as Bob Dylan did say, the times they are a-changing, and our range of rollators indicate this shift to sleeker, more aesthetically appealing designs.
Rollators help to keep you on your feet, meaning you get more exercise and can stay part of the action. This is vital for us all to prolong our physical and mental health, to keep our independence and maximise our mobility.
Many of our rollators are suitable for taking off-road, meaning that you can still go for park strolls and the like. We also stock living room models for using indoors, and all-purpose rollators.
There are lightweight models for if you’re looking to finally book that holiday that you haven’t dared to go on for years, so no matter what your lifestyle is – or how you plan for it to be once you have your rollator – we’re here to help you find the right rollator to suit your personal needs.
Knowing when it’s time to start using a rollator is different for every person with multiple sclerosis, but here are our top 3 things to note:
Whilst many people will start out their mobility aid journey with a walking stick/cane, it can be time to transition to a rollator if you’re finding that you’re putting more than 50% of your bodyweight onto the cane, or if either coordination or balance are feeling hard to manage whilst using one.
A rollator can also be a great option through the icy, cold months, when you can do with the extra stability. If you find that you’re often stopping to take a seat, your rollator has you covered, as you’re likely to need less breaks with the additional support, but when it is time to take 5, your rollator has its own seat, so you don’t need to always be on the look-out for somewhere to take a break.
We have rollators and walkers to suit every budget, that can be tailored to your specific needs, from our Mobilex Jaguar Indoor rollator through to our Topro Taurus walkers.
MS manifests differently in every person, and we’re aware that each person has varying needs. An example of this is our Rollz Motion model that changes from a rollator to a wheelchair, making it a superb 2-in-1 for people whose needs may change day to day, or even hour to hour. If you’re still able to be on your feet some of the time, but may benefit from being pushed when fatigued, it’s a great option, as extending your ability to walk as much as possible, and not having to automatically reach for the wheelchair over the rollator, can be fantastically freeing.

Functionality meets top-notch aesthetics with our best-selling rollator, the byACRE Carbon Ultralight rollator, which is the world’s lightest rollator, weighing in at only 4.8kg. This is owed to a fully carbon-fibre frame, with the additional parts made of aircraft-grade aluminium, and ergonomic handles that really do feel like a helping hand. You can read the 250+ genuine 5-star reviews that it has over here.
ByACRE’s Danish CEO, Anders Berggreen, when speaking about how he went from being a TV and Film Producer to producing an industry-disrupting rollator, said on why he started byACRE
“My grandma was 97 and she never felt old. [I thought] why can’t we make something cool for them? Let’s see if we can do something to reverse the perception of what a rollator is.”
It certainly has that Scandinavian sleek, minimal design, that is thoughtfully and skilfully crafted, without crossing into ‘look at me’ territory (all though you can of course ‘pimp your rollator’, should you wish to). MSers of all ages are looking for a rollator that doesn’t conjure up images of clinical settings and ‘functionality over everything’; and when something becomes an extension of yourself, you want it to fit the bill.
The ByACRE Carbon Ultralight rollator was also featured in the Financial Times
The byACRE red carbon Ultralight rollator is so sleek I’d happily roll it into Celine while shoppingIn addition to its ultralight frame, it also clocks in at only 255mm wide when folded, meaning that it is able to fit in the boot of almost every car, including small hatchbacks.
We’re inspired by you – people living with MS, and doing life a little differently. We’ve shared stories like that of Martin Baum, and we want to hear from you, too.
]]>As an MSer, anything designed to eliminate discomfort while travelling gets my vote from the get-go. Looks are important, obviously, especially when weaving a rollator along a high street full of, well - and for want of a better word - pedestrians. What a self-entitled motley crew they make, obstructing the pavement, but there you go. In an ideal world where I wouldn’t need a walking stick or a rollator, all should be fun and harmonious livin' la vida loca. Which leaves me to reasonably wonder why I shouldn’t feel as confident as any foot-traveller wending their way to Starbucks for a grossly overpriced pastry or frothy coffee, and more fool them for that.
So, if nirvana can be attained with a mode of transport that is a hybrid of both comfort and beauty, where a relationship between a person's mental wellbeing or physicality would achieve a much overdue top up of spiritual enlightenment, why not a rollator? In other words, something that is far more acceptable than having to abide shoppers in a hurry. Bargain hunters who feel inclined to rage against the rollator machine for fear of being stuck behind a slow-moving mobile walking frame. If anything like that can be found for someone like me, a newbie still trying to find his feet (or wheels) along the high street, then count me in on a byACRE Carbon Ultralight Rollator.
Having previously gone off-roading with the Carbon Overland model in a park (blog), I was given the opportunity to spend a morning test-driving the less weighty Carbon Ultralight. We - that is Lizzy, my long-suffering wife/carer and I - took to Temple Fortune in Barnet, the place of my birth and formative years to rigorously evaluate its suburban performance credentials. Whereas previously in the park, whizzing through the grass while avoiding all avian moving targets, now I was going to have to chart a course along the uneven terrain of pavements filled with oncoming perambulators, the very thought of which scared the living daylights out of me.
And so once again, after Lizzy effortlessly took the rollator from the boot of our hatchback, and with the Carbon Ultralight unfolded without complication or issue, it was once again time to ‘push on.’ It was strange to steer in an environment so different to the previous open space, where navigation was quite literally ‘a walk in the park.’ (Note to self: I must stop using these metaphors. Lizzy tells me I am so much better than that). Yet despite trying to avoid the footfall of human traffic as if playing a game of dodgeball, the handling of the rollator frame was surprisingly relaxed and lightweight enough to circumnavigate the oncoming pedestrian tsunami.
Having already been seduced by the appearance of the Carbon Overland model, the Ultralight was no different in style or easy handling. Just like its all-terrain cousin, here was the same stylish, sturdy-looking rollator with that familiar crook in its metal knee bend. The colour was a beautiful shade of Strawberry Red, which brought back happy memories of when I was a ten-year-old boy riding around on my Moulten Mini bicycle (google it). It was remarkably similar in colour. I loved that bike right up to the time my mother backed her Triumph Herald over it by reversing out of the driveway where I had unwisely left it. But I digress.
Today my life is less about two wheels and more about trying to navigate with four. One immediate benefit of this is the built-in seat that unfolds and blends in beautifully with the rollator. And while there may be some out there who might want their seat made of leather for that added touch of class to separate themselves from the riff-raff, the fact is you can’t have it. I imagine the same applies to suede and faux leather but as my fashion sense is less needy, I was happy enough to let the durable high-strength fabric take the strain of my derrière when I settled in and posed for my close up.
And yet putting vanity and ego aside, at the forefront of human disability evolution, we older people (yes, including myself who at 64 - despite my devilish good looks and naturally dark hair that doesn’t come out of a bottle), must yield to the inevitable by accepting that even I no longer am able to bathe in the fountain of youth. When I wrote earlier that anything designed to eliminate discomfort whilst travelling gets my attention, this is why. My car has ergonomic seats that provide support for the spine, pelvis, and limbs. As an MSer this is what I need and it was my good fortune that byACRE rollators have ergonomic handles to ensure correct upright posture.
This was kismet for somebody like me who is slowly trying to come to terms with a new status of disability and purpose in life. What has also been handy is getting comfortable with something that is going to play a pivotal part in the future me. Or is it already the present? Like the Overland, not only is the Carbon Ultralight walker a stylish, efficient, and modern fibre rollator, lest we forget, it has ergonomic technology! So, what more could this devil-may-care, sensation-seeking man about town possibly want?
As I was freewheeling (sort of) along Temple Fortune high street, just as we were about to pass Waitrose Lizzy decided it was a good idea to nip in for a quick shop. Fortuitous as it turned out, as it allowed me to pilot my rollator through the twists and turns of the aisles, which I did with aplomb (go me!). On the way out I noticed a sign explaining the origins of Temple Fortune. It was thought to have got its name from the Knights Templar dating from the 13th century. How about that? To think that Richard the Lionheart, on his way to the Crusades to fight his nemesis Saladin (look it up), could have also nipped into ye olde branch of Waitrose for an avocado and quinoa Saladin (no apologies for the pun).
Back in the day there was Richard on his equine mount proudly holding the Lionheart sword he carried in his quest for Jerusalem. Then there was me - in the present day – a proud MS crusader, bold and empowered, confidently holding the handles that blended beautifully with the elegant, but forceful curve of the knee bend that makes byAcre rollators so distinctive.
So – in summary - I found the Ultralight easy to manoeuvre, remarkably simple to open just as it was to collapse it again, but most importantly, it left me feeling less conspicuous than I do when I lose my centre of gravity, spinning and ending up colliding with compete strangers, if not the ground. Ouch. And on that bombshell, as an MSer my mantra is to live life not MS so if this rollator fills me with energy and joie de vivre, then happy days.

]]>I was impressed. Who wouldn’t be? Well, in a word (and for full disclosure), me. Although I have MS and have been an MSer for the past forty years, progression of this condition has been a slow burner; however, progressed it has. I now find using a walking stick more of a hindrance than a help. I am certainly not a pessimist, but I have to be realistic and have always known the inevitable MS progression of further mobility problems was bound to happen. With that time getting closer, the very thought of evolving from one walking aid to another mentally feels as challenging as being a contestant on The Crystal Maze.
But giving the Overland an initial trial run made me feel like a trailblazer, a guinea pig for other Msers caught in a similar situation who – like me – have been living in fear of needing to use a rollator. So there I was, given this mode of transportation to try over the Christmas period, which was fortunate actually as I needed this time to mentally get over ‘it’. ‘It’ being defined as: What if I meet somebody I know? Will they judge me for being disabled and needy? Do I really need people’s pity (or likes on Facebook)? This really was a big deal.
Biting the bullet, together with my wife/carer, it was an easy enough task to load the folded up Overland into the boot of our hatchback, drive to our local park and to hell with the consequences. As my wife pointed out, there’s no need to be humiliated. This is who I am. I’ve conquered embarrassment before, as I also have prostate cancer and self-catheterise twice a day. Leading up to and after my diagnosis I have shared intimate parts of my body with such a plethora of medical experts who have prodded, poked and inserted things in places you don’t want to know, that being seen out and about with the type of walking aid I’ve been dreading should be – literally – a walk in the park by comparison. As always, of course, she’s right. This was not a time to be a wimp.
For context my main reason for baulking at the idea of using a rollator is because – whilst I’m now a 64-year-old man who has declining mobility issues - I’ve grown up with an imagery of skeletal walking frames being cautiously accompanied by frail older people. Yet here it was - the Carbon Overland with considerable meat on the bone and as far removed from a conventional NHS aluminium walking aid as I could possibly have imagined. Here was a stylish, sturdy-looking rollator, metallic brown in colour, with a crook in its carbon fiber metal knee bend, just above the front wheels, which dare I say gave it a touch of the Nike ‘woosh’ logo.
Although I was yet to take it over hill and dale, I was immediately disarmed by something more stylish than I ever imagined possible of its ilk, (after all, it’s still just a rollator, right?) that spoke to me saying, ‘Hey, don’t worry dude. Relaaax’. Today, products are about aesthetics. Walking aids have been slow to catch up but even I had to admit this futuristic rollator was far removed from the Jurassic era of mobility dependency; It oozed beauty and artistic taste.
Aesthetics are important; I know this from my traditional walking sticks which vanity prevented me from using long before I did. I detested the aluminium NHS model as much as I did anything collapsible but that all changed after I inherited my late father’s cabbage stalk walking stick, grown from actual cabbage, would you believe. Its uniqueness gave me confidence to walk with it ever since, such was its allure to others who admired it. In much the same way I was seduced by the attractiveness of the Overland and how easy it was on the eye; this stylistic walker wanting to escape the shackles of its unattractive past and be at one with the 21st century.
At this stage, though, without yet having stepped out with it I had no idea how it would perform, trying not to be too judgemental about the front wheels which I was concerned may have aspirations to behave like a dysfunctional supermarket trolley. Looking at it, for all its graceful seductiveness, I had not the foggiest idea if it was a beauty or a beast. There was only one way to find out. It was to get the rollator to the park, make like Rawhide and go rollin’ rollin’ rollin’.
Once taking the walker from the boot, unfolding it, adjusting it, I was set to go. Initially I was taking baby steps, trying too hard to concentrate, keeping my head down, trying not to draw attention, but once I was out there, so was my confidence in the rollator. It was doing what it was meant to by keeping me steady and sure-footed. After keeping to the path, I decided to take it off roading onto the muddy grass. It was a challenge but not so much for the rollator as it was for me. It cut smoothly through the damp terrain without issue, although the same could not be said of my now inappropriate and sodden footwear, such were the wet conditions of falling snow. Note to self: with the confidence to walk more, wear better shoes.
As far as this new experience went, it reminded me of the first-time I used my father’s cabbage stalk. The positive effect of using (and being seen to use) an aid did wonders for my mental health and being able to finally get over ‘it’. Thanks to the uniqueness and aesthetics of dad’s plant-based walking stick, this was the reason I could connect with the Overland which has been instrumental in helping me to begin getting over another ‘it’.
It looks good – sexy might just be pushing it a bit, although it takes all sorts – without screaming ‘look at me, look at me’. This is important. ByAcre should be praised for abandoning the ladder frame and making their rollators more accessible to sexagenarian MSers like me, who want to blend in without looking like the stereotypical old geezer shoving an ugly rickety walking frame about.

”It looked easy to use, it looked light and super well designed… basically, everything I had been looking for in a rollator…”
Dr. Gretchen also gives us an insight after a discussion with a new rollator-user about this lightweight product and life with mobility challenges, along with demonstrating helpful exercises with the rollator.
How often do you use a rollator?
Walking exercises and ordinary walking in the house. Have used it a couple of times outside of the house, but have not been out much during the pandemic.
How does using a rollator make you feel?
More stable and confident.
When did it first occur to you that you needed a rollator?
I never considered a rollator before discovering byACRE, because others I had tried at physical therapy worked so poorly.
Were you hesitant to start using it?
Not after I saw the video online of you unboxing it.
What feelings and thoughts did you have about it?
It looked easy to use, it looked light and super well designed… basically, everything I had been looking for in a rollator but had never found until I saw the Carbon Ultralight.
How has the disease/mobility issue affected your life?
In every miserable way possible.
What reactions do you get from others when walking with a rollator?
Because I acquired mine recently, and during the pandemic, I haven’t been around many people while using it. When I have taken it to medical appointments, I like it that others are more patient with my slowness and have given me the appropriate space to maneuver.
What does it enable you to do that you couldn’t otherwise do?
Inside the house it has allowed me to stop wall-surfing. After the pandemic I am hoping it gives me more freedom to go out.
What criteria are important when choosing a rollator? Why?
Being ergonomically correct and enhancing your posture while improving your mobility; being light, and easy for others to move; being visually attractive, not an eyesore.
What’s the best piece of advice you would offer to a new user?
I really like having one on each floor of our house, keeping them at the foot and top of the stairs, so that I can move seamlessly from one Carbon Ultralight to the other.

There's no need to stick to shops and walks in the park, the Rollz Motion Performance All Terrain helps you to go off road, and again has the benefit of being a rollator or wheelchair, dependent on when and if required - the choice is yours. This multi-functional 2 in 1 rollator and wheelchair is made to assist and re-assure the user at all times.
The Performance is functionally the same as the Rollz Motion², but with pneumatic tyres which are air-filled and means a smoother ride over rough bumpy ground, cobblestones and uneven terrain.
Angelika speaks from the heart about living with MS and her byAcre rollator and how she deals with the mobility challenges in her life each and every day and the surprise reaction to her rollator and the boost it has given her confidence.
Please take a moment to view this video below and Angelika's views.

The hardest challenge is to actually start. All physicians and nutritionists recommend exercise, be it daily or multiple times a week, to stay fit and healthy.
We now have the problem of Covid and the lockdown making excursions and walks outdoors even harder. The winter months are not helping matters one bit. It should never be assumed that exercise is meant to be outdoors or in a gym complex, innovation and imagination are key to tackling and overcoming the issues. Also some people do not dare to go out, because they are feeling unstable or don’t want to use a traditional walking device, so below we give some videos to inspire and encourage indoor activities using your rollator.
Staying active and using your muscles daily is a great way to stay fit. Even for people with limited mobility, walking and gentle exercise is considered healthy.
Dancing with a rollator
Bonnie has danced her whole life but after becoming ill a few years ago she thought she would no longer be able to practice. To her pleasant surprise she discovered the handlebar of her rollator is a perfect barre for dancing exercises and that enabled her to even start teaching rollator dancing classes. Dancing helps to stay fit – even in coronavirus times.
This story is not only about Bonnie. It could be about anybody using a rollator and still wanting to stay fit, but not being able to go for a walk or to the gym. Or someone who is forced to remain indoors due to circumstances. Doing a few simple exercises while holding your rollator will benefit your muscles and health. Moving whilst dancing can also be a lot of fun.

In this article we are going to discover why you might be less mobile, how it might affect you and whether there are more modern, well-designed mobility aids available for those looking for a more stylish alternative.
So let's first start by hitting the brief before we delve into a little more detail.
Is there a more modern light and stylish mobility aid? With the advent of new technology within the mobility industry such as lighter materials like carbon rather than traditional aluminum, along with sleeker, more stylish offerings from Danish design houses such as the byAcre Carbon Ultralight Rollator, there are many mobility aids suitable for today’s modern consumer. The byAcre Carbon Ultralight Rollator is the world's lightest rollator weighing a mere 4.8kg (fully assembled, medium size).
Now we’ve seen the short answer, let’s start by discovering a little more about the reasons why you, a family member or friend may have mobility problems.
Mobility is related to changes in a person's body such as loss in muscle strength and mass, less mobile and stiff joints, as well as gait changes that affect balance which may significantly compromise their mobility.
Mobility is crucial to the maintenance of independent living, not only for seniors but also for the wider community.
If a person's mobility is restricted, it may significantly affect their activities and enjoyment of daily living.
There are lots of factors which may contribute to your being less mobile. Some may think that it’s simply a question of approaching senior years, but it’s surprising to realise that some factors we might not have considered such as carrying too much weight, a sedentary job, or simply when recovering from surgery, can lead to problems with mobility.
Let’s take a look below:
If a person's mobility is restricted, it may significantly affect their activities of daily living
Many people with limited mobility are now using walking aids such as rollators to assist them with everyday activities.
They can include:
New technology has enabled these devices to keep up to date with modern mobility needs and an article in the Wall Street Journal really demonstrates the needs of our modern society in terms of mobility assistance which are changing rapidly.
Many are discovering how the old fashioned clunky type of aids are becoming less and less relevant and outdated with a new wave of light, stylish walking accessories on offer.
More and more companies are offering walkers, canes, and other products that not only assist the elderly and disabled, but also provide a stylish and more attractive alternative.
It seems that many companies are joining the ranks of byAcre who are providing a sleeker, more ergonomic and modern alternative to the traditional heavier and cumbersome offerings of old.
As mobility is one of the core values that challenge those with disabilities of all ages, more modern companies are understanding that the current market for mobility aids somewhat fails today’s modern consumer. byAcre are producing carbon-based rollators - 'walkers with wheels' - as a sleek and lightweight alternative to the heavy-duty aluminum walkers of recent years.
The Scandinavian styling of byAcre's flagship product, the Carbon Ultralight Rollator, is perfect for both the young and elderly to keep active.
More forward thinking companies such as byAcre understand that the old-fashioned ‘ageist’ messages and outdated styling which suggests fragility and dependence need to be addressed sooner rather than later.
With a wealth of attractive colours such as Strawberry Red, Oyster White and sleek Carbon Black, byAcre are nailing the brief for those who want beautiful styling to their mobility aids.
Businesses understand how products which have been physiotherapist recommended, coupled with modern innovation are needed for the more contemporary consumer.
Available in five colours (Oyster White, Strawberry Red, British Racing Green, Royal Blue & Carbon Black) and two sizes (Regular and Wide track)
Back in 2017 in the design capital of Copenhagen, byAcre were storming the design and innovation world with their award-winning mobility aid designs.
Their mission to eradicate the stigma of mobility aids and to provide elegantly designed aids for people, not patients, and with the production of their lightweight rollator, those with mobility needs of all ages can be active with confidence.
So let’s take a look below at some of the benefits of the byAcre Ultralight Rollator:
As with every superbly designed product, there will always be a backstory! So let’s find out where the inspiration for this super lightweight stylish mobility aids began.
While the designers at byAcre were designing their flagship product, one of the top priorities was manoeuvrability.
It was important to provide a fast, smooth, and literally effortless ride.
So understandably, the team looked to find inspiration where these crucial elements were present.
The designers found organic shapes of fast-moving animals such as falcons, sharks, and dolphins to be crucial to not only the styling, but also the overall handling.
Inspiration from both the natural world and sleek engineering from sports cars and bicycles provided additional inspiration.
The lightweight materials and dynamic shapes fused together with the effortless grace of fast-moving animals to provide the user with a superbly styled product, right from the frame forks which hold the wheels, hidden cables, through to the brake handles.
byAcre has designed the Ultralight Rollator simply to be the lightest product of its kind.
In their own words..
Let’s look below at the benefits of this ultra-light, super sleek mobility aid:
We hope we have helped you to discover that there are superbly designed mobility aids created for those looking for a more stylish, light, and innovative aid to mobility.
So whether you are travelling around your home or across the globe, there is a stylish alternative available for you.
