Design and terrain features

Norwegian company MOVU developed the rollator after founder Øyvind Gedde sought a less clinical-looking mobility aid for his mother. It combines Scandinavian styling with everyday-use features, including a large front wheel designed to help users cross kerbs, gravel, cobbles, snow and other uneven ground. Its steering handle is intended to encourage a more upright walking position.

Specifications and usability

A fold-out seat provides rest, while folding rear wheels reduce the rollator’s width for transport or storage. MOVU lists a 7.3-kilogram weight excluding bags and seat, handle adjustment from approximately 950 to 1,070 millimetres, and a maximum user weight of 110 kilograms. The company says this arrangement supports the wrists and shoulders and may reduce unnecessary strain.

Retail launch plans

John Preston will introduce MOVU to selected UK and Irish retailers from autumn 2026, focusing on dealers with strong showrooms. Retailers can ask about dealership opportunities or demonstrations. MOVU reports more than 600 sales across several European markets. Cooke called the offering distinctive; Gedde cited John Preston’s experience and network.
