Your goals.
Your electric self-balancing walking aid, RooWalk waloo, helps you expand your range of movement.
And that means something different for every child.
Standing up
Bouncing
Squatting & bending
Sideways steps
Walking across the grass
The walking aid is currently undergoing CE certification and is expected to be available from Q2 2027.
A clear path for every interaction
Whether you’re playing ball, picking up a toy, or reaching out for a hug — nothing should stand in your way. That’s why your RooWalk waloo is positioned behind you. On top of that, your hands stay free and ready to reach out. And steering? Completely intuitive, through your pelvic belt.
Indoors or outdoors, bumpy or smooth
The ground beneath you shouldn’t make a difference. That’s why your RooWalk waloo has electrically powered wheels that follow you even over uneven ground.
Standing up is the first step
Walking is more than taking individual steps: keeping your balance and changing direction are just as much a part of it as falling and getting back up. And to make standing up easier, RooWalk waloo can support you with your body weight — adjusted to how you’re feeling on any given day.
Learning works best when it’s fun
When movement comes from a child’s own motivation, the brain learns most intensively. And there’s no reason it can’t be playful — plenty of bouncing and hopping is more than welcome. And when things get too boring indoors, just head outside with your RooWalk waloo!
Discover RooWalk waloo
1
Die elektrischen selbstbalancierenden Räder folgen den Bewegungen des Kindes in alle Richtungen und fahren automatisch in den optimalen Gleichgewichtspunkt. Große Räder meistern dabei Unebenheiten und kleine Kanten. Erkennt das System einen Widerstand, erhöht es automatisch die Leistung für ein sanftes Überfahren. Zwei Aufstandspunkte ermöglichen zudem einen kleinen Wenderadius.
2
Eine Wippenkonstruktion verbindet Beckengurt und Sattel mit einem Gegengewicht. Sie entlastet das Kind von einem Teil seines Körpergewichts und kann auch während der Nutzung angepasst werden. So lassen sich bis zu 30 % des Körpergewichts über die Wippe entlasten.
3
Der stabilisierende Beckengurt unterstützt die Aufrichtung des Oberkörpers und dient gleichzeitig als intuitive Steuerung. Jede Gehbewegung wird über eine Gewichtsverlagerung des Beckens eingeleitet. RooWalk erkennt diese Intentionsbewegungen und folgt ihnen automatisch. Die Hände bleiben frei für die Interaktion mit dem Umfeld.
4
Die seitlich geführten Sicherheitsräder bieten zuverlässigen Fallschutz. Bei nachlassender Beinkraft oder einem Stolpern fangen sie den Sturz sanft ab. Für zusätzliche Sicherheit in der Hocke lassen sie sich dosiert feststellen. So wird ein Loslaufen erst in der Aufrichtung ermöglicht und ein physiologisches Gangbild gefördert.
Electric self-balancing wheels
The electric self-balancing wheels follow the child’s movements in every direction and automatically adjust to the optimal point of balance. Large wheels handle uneven surfaces and small edges with ease. When the system detects resistance, it automatically increases power for a smooth roll-over. Two contact points also allow for a tight turning radius.
Body weight support
A rocker mechanism connects the pelvic belt and saddle to a counterweight. It relieves the child of part of their body weight and can be adjusted even during use. This way, up to 30% of the body weight can be offloaded via the counterweights.
Pelvic belt
The stabilising pelvic belt supports the upright posture of the upper body and, at the same time, serves as the control system. Every walking movement is initiated by a shift of weight through the pelvis. RooWalk recognises these intentional movements and follows them automatically. The hands stay free to interact with the world around.
Safety wheels
The laterally guided safety wheels provide reliable fall protection. If leg strength gives out or the child stumbles, they gently catch the fall. For extra safety while squatting, they can be locked in gradual stages. This way, walking only becomes possible once the child stands upright, encouraging a physiological gait pattern.

Is RooWalk waloo right for you?
RooWalk waloo can support you if you show impairments in your motor development. In most cases, these are caused by neuromuscular movement disorders.
Does RooWalk waloo have an assistive-device number (Hilfsmittelnummer)?
Not yet, because RooWalk waloo isn’t available yet. However, we are already working hard to secure an assistive device reference number (Hilfsmittelnummer) for the RooWalk waloo as soon as possible.
GOOD TO KNOW: Coverage and reimbursement by health insurance is still possible even without an official reference number.
When will RooWalk waloo be available?
We’ll be delivering starting late March 2027! So be quick and get in touch with us to request a test trial.

As much support as necessary, as little as possible.
Your electric walking aid, RooWalk waloo, is like supportive hands.
They hold you gently at the hips and follow your every move. You are given just as much support as you need – empowering you to do the rest yourself!
A personal story.
A shared vision.
It all began when Benjamin’s niece came into the world.
She was born with cerebral palsy, a physical condition that makes it impossible for her to stand upright or walk on her own. With her current walking aids, she depends on the help of her parents or carers whenever she needs to change direction or cross uneven ground.
This is exactly where we come in — redefining what’s technically possible.

We’re striving for a world in which innovative solutions are used to give every child the best possible opportunities to develop, greater inclusion, and a higher quality of life.
To get there, we develop hand in hand with doctors, physiotherapists and — most importantly of all — with children and their families.
What I do all day
Every day is different: company financing, ideas and improvements for our walking aid, coordinating within the team, and conversations with the many external partners who support our development work. What motivates me most is working on something that will make THE difference for so many kids and their families!
What excites me about our walking aid
The prospect that kids will one day be able to walk outdoors on their own — in the grass, over rough terrain, and even on the beach by the sea — right alongside us! Anyone who jumped in puddles as a child knows just how far the joy of movement can take you!
What I wanted to be as a child
First a rock musician, then a music producer — but always an inventor at heart. What draws me in is the creative experimenting and being in constant discovery mode myself. Not so different from the kids, who get to learn whole new possibilities with us!
What I do all day
From company strategy and software development to certification, clinical studies, marketing and accounting. But what I love most is being there in person for trials with the kids!
What excites me about our walking aid
The variety of movement! Our walking aid lets kids try things out naturally — from standing and squatting to safely falling, all the way to bouncing and jumping.
What I wanted to be as a child
A sound engineer, because I wanted to move and touch people. Now I create real movement in children’s everyday lives — an even more wonderful feeling.
What I do all day
From content for our website to trade fairs and talks, all the way to conversations with parents, children and physiotherapists. My favourite part is the trials, where the kids get to use our walking aid!
What excites me about our walking aid
Its versatility. It’s not “just” a walking aid — it also helps children who need support with things like standing up and staying upright.
What I wanted to be as a child
All sorts of things — but something with a medical background was almost always in the mix.
What I do all day
Developing and optimising mechanical components and modules to keep improving our walking aid, both functionally and ergonomically.
What excites me about our walking aid
When children discover bouncing and jumping with our walking aid for themselves. It’s wonderful to see how visibly our device brings them joy.
What I wanted to be as a child
I used to want to be a professional footballer; today my passion is engineering design. At RooWalk I get to pursue it meaningfully, together with an ambitious team.
What I do all day
No two days are the same. I work on new ideas and concepts for the walking aid (on paper or in CAD), test them in the workshop, discuss them with the team, and I’m often in touch with external partners too.
What excites me about our walking aid
The many ways to adjust it! We can tailor the walking aid to each individual child and support children with very different needs.
What I wanted to be as a child
A vet. I actually came to medical technology by a roundabout route.
What I do all day
I develop new features for our firmware. We want it to communicate with the outside world — through buttons and LEDs, for example — and it has to be made as safe as possible in operation. That means there’s plenty of soldering, wiring, screwing things together and, of course, a lot of testing along the way.
What excites me about our walking aid
That it’s a truly novel product — one that can be life-changing for others in the future, and one that’s fascinating to develop because of its complexity, combining modern control engineering, electronics and mechanical design.
What I wanted to be as a child
I never quite knew, but my father got me excited early on about repairing things and building and tinkering with new ones. A bit like Gyro Gearloose.
