byACRE is based in Denmark

A: The key differences between the Ultralight and the Overland are the wheels, weight and length. The Ultralight is 4.8kg and the Overland is 6.7kg. The Ultralight has PU/rubber mix wheels whilst the Overland has pneumatic air-filled tyres. The Ultralight is 66cm long and the Overland is 73cm. Both the Ultralight and Overland handles have a height range of 82 - 95cm. So, the Overland is a slightly larger piece of kit designed for more mixed terrain. The Ultralight is smaller, designed for urban and indoor environments. Both are very portable and both look great.

A: The inverted handles encourage you to stand more upright and closer to the frame and this encourages good posture. Joint pain can be an issue with traditional shaped handles but the ergonomically shaped byACRE handles mean you steer the walker with the palm of your hand rather than using your fingers, wrist and hand joints.

A: Yes, absolutely. People who ask this question know that it's best to walk nice and tall, which the byACRE designers have prioritised in their walking frame ahndle heights:

• 79-91 cm (Compact Track)
• 80-95 cm (Regular, Wide Track and Overland).

You'll see there's a crossover in measurements here - if you're in between the two heights and you could have either - then you might want to see what seat height suits you best: 50cm on the Small and 55cm high on the Regular.

A: The byACRE Carbon Ultralight and Overland are certified to meet ISO 11199-2:2005  

A: The Ultralight is available in Strawberry Red, Oyster White, Carbon Black, British Racing Green and Royal Blue. The Overland comes in Defender Green and Bentley Brown. The Scandinavian Butler comes in one colour - Oyster White.

A: The byACRE Ultralight comes in three sizes - Compact, Regular and Wide Track.

The Overland comes in one size, which is Wide Track.

The Scandinavian Butler comes in one size, Regular.

For the byACRE Ultralight, the Compact is for very short people or adolescents. The main difference between the Regular and the Compact is the seat height (56cm on the Compact and 61cm on the Regular). The main difference between the Regular and Wide Track is the seat width (42cm on the Regular and 47cm on the Wide Track). Some people prefer a wider seat for comfort.
