Uplivin wheelchair and rollatorBritish mobility brand Uplivin has officially launched the Glide 2 in 1 Rollator & Wheelchair in the UK, 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.

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. Its lightweight, compact folding design is ideal for transport and storage.

The Glide 2 in 1 has already received international recognition, winning European Product Design Award (EPDA) for its innovative approach to mobility design.

Winston Wong, Lead Designer at Uplivin, commented: “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.”

Already active within the UK 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 the UK market.

Able2 is an official distributor of the Glide 2 in 1. Retailers can find out more by contacting sales@uplivin.com.
