The award-winning rollator and transport wheelchair hybrid-combo is set to redefine everyday mobility.
Uplivin has officially launched the Glide 2 in 1 Rollator & Wheelchair in Ireland, bringing an award-winning mobility solution to retailers, dealers, healthcare professionals and consumers seeking greater flexibility, independence and ease of use.
Combining the functions of a premium rollator and transport wheelchair (certified in both modes) in a single product, the Glide 2 in 1 is designed for users who alternate between independent walking and assisted transport throughout the day.
Glide 2-in-1 Rollator & Wheelchair Key Features
Revolutionary by design, the Glide 2 in 1 features Uplivin’s patented quick conversion system, enabling rapid transition between rollator and transport wheelchair modes without tools. Beyond simple conversion, the system changes the direction of applied force during attendant pushing, creating a more efficient push dynamic. This allows smoother handling, reduced caregiver effort and improved ability to navigate everyday obstacles such as kerbs, thresholds and uneven surfaces.
Unlike conventional dual-purpose mobility products, the Glide 2 in 1 combines functional performance with a strong emphasis on lightweight portability, compact folding and contemporary styling. Key features include:
- Rollator and transport wheelchair combined in one unit
- Certified in both Rollator and Wheelchair classification
- Tool-free quick conversion between modes
- Improved push dynamics for easier obstacle navigation
- Lightweight, compact folding design for transport and storage
- Modern aesthetics supporting user lifestyle
The Glide 2 in 1 has already received international recognition, winning European Product Design Award (EPDA) for its innovative approach to mobility design.
“We’re very excited to bring the Glide 2-in-1 rollator and wheelchair to the Irish market. It’s unlike anything else available and has a premium feel and a modern design at a really good price. I think it will be really popular with our customers” Denise Phelan shared, Occupational Therapist & Owner of Phelans Pharmacy & Lifelong Mobility.
“Mobility products should not only provide physical support, they should also support confidence, independence and quality of life. With Glide 2 in 1, we wanted to redefine how a mobility product functions, feels and integrates into everyday life.” said Winston Wong, Lead Designer at Uplivin.
Already active within the Irish mobility market through its Trive rollator platform, Uplivin is strengthening its position with the launch of Glide 2 in 1 Rollator & Wheelchair. The new product introduction reflects the company’s continued focus on design-led innovation, premium mobility solutions and strategic channel development within Ireland.
The Glide 2-in-1 is now available in Ireland through all Phelans retails stores. For sales inquiries please contact: chris@phelans.ie
