Motivo Tour Key Specifications
Is the Tour covered by Medicare?
While we do not accept direct payments from insurance, the Tour is eligible for reimbursement by Medicare/Medicaid. This recently changed.
What is needed for Medicare/Medicaid Reimbursement?
We recommend you check with them for specifics, as the process and coverage may vary from state to state. You will need to provide Medicare/Medicaid with the following billing codes: (E0143 WALKER, FOLDING, WHEELED, ADJUSTABLE OR FIXED HEIGHT) (E0156 SEAT ATTACHMENT, WALKER)
Is the Tour covered by private insurance?
The Tour does meet all the requirements of a
rolling walker with a seat so it may be covered by private insurance and/or
Health Savings and Flexible Spending type accounts. Given all the various
healthcare plans available, we recommend checking with your provider to
determine the specific coverage available to you.
What is the value over a standard rollator?
The Tour's unique
user-centered design is the result of 3 years of R&D and covered by 17
patents. Unique features and benefits including a fold down seat to facilitate
upright walking and reduction in back and neck pressure by up to 60%, along
with a flip-out tray, dual cup holders, and large integrated private storage
that is conveniently located and does not have to be emptied or removed when
folding up for transport. And with its modern design and choice of
contemporary colors, it does not look like a medical device. Plus, the Tour is
the only leading rolling walker Made in the USA.
It looks bulky, or bigger than my current rollator/walker,
is it?
While the Tour may look larger than traditional walkers, the Tour's
dimensions are actually the same and, in some cases, even smaller and lighter
than other walkers. The molded panel design allows for the seat to fold up out of
the way and the user to walk inside it rather than behind, which makes the Tour
much more maneuverable than traditional rolling walkers with a fixed seat.
Does it weigh more than my current rollator/walker?
Current rollators vary between 15 - 25 lbs. depending on construction and
size. Add-on trays, cupholders, and cane holders can add an additional 2-5lbs,
all of which are already integrated into the Tour. The Tour's weight with all
of these features already integrated is 18.5 pounds.
Does it fold for transport?
Yes. The Tour side panels easily fold in, making it compact and easy to
transport. The Tour is also self-standing and can still roll when folded, to
further aid in transport and storage.
Is it a substitute for a wheelchair, powered mobility
scooter, or transfer chair?
The Motivo Tour is a 4-wheeled rolling
walker and is NOT a substitute for a wheelchair, powered mobility
scooter, transfer chair or similar mobility device. Always consult with your
healthcare professional as to whether a 4-wheeled rolling walker is right for
you.
Will it fit in my car?
The Tour was designed to fold compactly and fit easily in most backseats
and trunks. (consult specs above)
Does it have a seat?
Yes. The Tour features the largest, most comfortable seat in the industry. The
seat easily folds up when not in use allowing you to walk inside and upright.
Is the seat height adjustable?
No. The padded seat is 18.5" from the ground when used.
What type of brakes does it have?
The Tour has similar brakes as to what you would find on most
rollators/walkers, which is a loop style brake which requires minimal effort to
squeeze and slow the walker down.
Does it have a parking brake?
Yes, to engage the parking brake you simply push the brake lever down.
Can the handlebar height be adjusted?
Yes, the handlebars are adjustable to accommodate people from approx. 5'1"
to 6'4".

enough to accommodate a small oxygen tank or concentrator. Measuring at 18" W x 6" D x 11" H it can typically accommodate tanks
sizes M2 - M9 depending on the size of the regulator. You can also buy a Motivo Oxygen Holder to keep your tank and other devices secure in your Motivo Tour.
Where can I see the Tour in person?

private storage compartment, and comes in 4 different colors. It is also handmade
right here in Wisconsin vs. produced overseas.
