Help and FAQs

Questions? Answered.

Everything you need to know about choosing, using and caring for your Zeal.

Using your Zeal

Sizing, seat, brakes and everyday use.

What height of person does Zeal suit?

Zeal suits users up to 6ft 9in. The handles adjust from 81cm to 94cm at the press of a button, so you can set the right height for a natural, upright posture.

As a guide, set the handles so your elbows are slightly bent, roughly level with your wrists when your arms hang relaxed.

What is the maximum user weight?

Zeal supports a maximum user weight of 130kg.

How much does it weigh and how small does it fold?

Zeal weighs just 5.9kg, so it is easy to lift in and out of a car boot. It folds flat to 24cm wide in about 3 seconds.

How do I adjust the handle height?

Press the height-adjust button and slide the handles up or down to suit you. They lock firmly in place. You can watch Nick Bailey demonstrate it in our video guides.

Can I sit on my Zeal?

Yes. Zeal has a cushioned seat at 63cm high and a backrest, so you can rest whenever you need to. Always lock both brakes before you sit down or stand up, and never use your Zeal as a wheelchair or be pushed while seated.

How do the brakes work?

To slow down while walking, pull the levers up towards the handles. To park, push the levers down until they lock, which holds the wheels still while you sit or stand. Our brakes are tested to over 1 million cycles.

Can I use my Zeal indoors and outdoors?

Yes. Zeal is just as happy in your kitchen as it is on pavements, gravel paths and grass. Its large 190mm wheels and RideSmooth® tyres absorb bumps for a smoother, quieter ride.

Can I take my Zeal in the car, on a plane or on a cruise?

Yes. At 5.9kg and 24cm wide when folded, Zeal fits in most car boots. Its folded size meets IATA size regulations for aircraft, and it is ideal for cruises too. We always recommend checking with your airline or travel provider before you travel.

What comes with my Zeal?

Every Zeal arrives fully assembled with a cushioned seat, backrest and matching 2-in-1 storage bag, which clips to the walker or can be worn as a backpack.

How do I clean and look after my Zeal?

Simply wipe the frame, seat and bag with a damp cloth. Zeal has smooth surfaces all over, with no fiddly gaps for dirt to collect. If anything ever needs attention, email hello@zeal-lifestyle.com and our team will help.

What makes Zeal different?

Zeal is designed and made in Britain from aircraft-grade, fully recyclable aluminium. It weighs just 5.9kg, rolls on RideSmooth® tyres, has arched antimicrobial grips and comes in five colours.

It is built to be repaired, not replaced, and backed by a lifetime frame warranty and a 30-day home trial. Discover our craftsmanship.

Ordering and payment

VAT relief, payment options and gifts.

Can I buy my Zeal with VAT relief?

Yes. If you are eligible for VAT relief, you can buy your Zeal for £749 instead of £898.90. Choose ‘VAT relief price’ when you add to basket. Full details of who can claim are on GOV.UK.

I'm buying for my mum or dad. Can they still get VAT relief?

Yes. VAT relief depends on the person who will use the walker, not the person paying. We will deliver straight to their door.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. You can spread the cost with Klarna or Clearpay at checkout, including 4 interest-free payments with Clearpay.

Can I send a Zeal as a gift?

Yes. Just enter the recipient's address as the delivery address at checkout. Zeal arrives fully assembled, so there is nothing for them to set up.

Can I change or cancel my order?

We dispatch orders quickly, so we are unable to change or stop an order once it has been placed. If you change your mind, you are covered by our 30-day home trial: simply return your Zeal within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.

Delivery

Free UK delivery, fully assembled.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery is free on every UK order. In-stock orders are usually dispatched within 1 to 2 working days and arrive 1 to 2 working days after dispatch. You will receive tracking details as soon as your order ships.

Do I need to assemble my Zeal?

No. Your Zeal arrives 100% assembled and ready to use straight out of the box.

Do you ship outside the UK?

We currently deliver within the UK only. US deliveries are planned for Summer 2027. To join the priority waitlist, email hello@zeal-lifestyle.com and we will fulfil orders on a first-come, first-served basis.

Returns and home trial

30 days to make sure it is right for you.

How does the 30-day home trial work?

Try your Zeal at home for 30 days from delivery. The trial is for indoor use, so it can be returned as new. If it is not right for you, email hello@zeal-lifestyle.com with your order number within 30 days and we will arrange a free tracked collection from your UK address.

Once we have received and inspected it (3 to 5 working days), your refund is processed within 5 to 10 working days, depending on your payment provider. Full returns details.

What if I no longer have the box?

Your Zeal must be returned in its original box, which is specially designed to protect it in transit, so please keep it safe during your trial. If you no longer have it, you can buy a replacement Zeal return box for £19 before your collection.

What if my Zeal arrives damaged or incorrect?

Please let us know within 48 hours of delivery, with photos, and we will sort it straight away, including covering return shipping costs.

Warranty and repairs

Built to last, and to be repaired.

What does the warranty cover?

The Zeal frame is covered for life against manufacturing defects under normal domestic use. Handles, brakes, seat, backrest and structural fittings are covered for 24 months from delivery.

Normal wear and tear, such as tyres, brake cables, grips and cosmetic scuffs, is not covered, and nor is damage from misuse, accidents or unauthorised repairs. The storage bag and soft accessories are also excluded. Full warranty details.

How do I make a warranty claim?

Email hello@zeal-lifestyle.com with your order number, a description of the issue and clear photos of the fault. We will respond within 3 working days. Where a claim is valid, we will repair or replace the affected part at no cost to you.

Can I repair my Zeal myself?

Please contact us first. If the issue is covered under warranty, we will arrange collection and repair through our Zeal-trained technicians at no cost to you. If it falls outside warranty, we will give you a clear quote before going ahead.

For safety, critical repairs should always be carried out by a Zeal-approved technician. Unauthorised repairs or modifications will void your warranty.

Can I buy spare parts?

Yes. Zeal is designed to be repaired, not replaced, so we keep spare parts available for the life of your Zeal. Email hello@zeal-lifestyle.com with your order number and what you need, and we will take it from there.

Sustainability

Designed for longevity, not landfill.

What makes Zeal sustainable?

Zeal is made from aircraft-grade, fully recyclable aluminium and recyclable components. It is designed for disassembly and easy repair, so it is built to last rather than be thrown away.

Can I recycle my old walker through Zeal?

Email hello@zeal-lifestyle.com and we will help you find the most responsible route, whether that is local recycling, refurbishment or donation.
