- We endeavour to dispatch from our warehouse in Port Macquarie NSW within one to two working days after receiving payment.
- Delivery times after we dispatch vary depending on destination. For example, for Sydney and Brisbane shipping usually takes one business day. Melbourne usually takes two working days.
- We do not offer free shipping because the cost of freight varies greatly depending on where the item will be sent in Australia. We think it is fairer to keep the price as low as we can and add freight costs that reflect the actual cost of freight rather than inflate the price to subsidise the shipments to the more costly areas.
- To find out your freight costs, simply place the item in your cart and add your address, then the online shop will calculate it for you.
- Please see further shipping information here.
- We hope your walker is right for you but if you want to return it, please see our full returns policy here.
- While you can always buy directly from us on this website and we will ship it to your door directly from our warehouse in Port Macquarie, you might be in lucky enough to live near one of our fabulous stockists.
- Many of our customers understandably want to 'try before they buy' and some prefer to have a local contact, should they ever need help with servicing.
- Please see our growing list of retailers on our website's Stockists Page.
- If your local mobility store does not stock our products, please let them know that you would like to see one and they may be able to arrange this with us.
Lightweight at only 5.9kgs
byACRE walkers can't be beat when it comes to portability - they are easy to lift, grip and handle when moving them in and out of the car, train, or bus. The Nordic Pioneer is no exception. Are you in for a different rollator experience?
Excellent Stability
With its weight evenly distributed, there are no tipping points when walking on an even surface. The forward-facing handles give you optimal control by having the Nordic Pioneer close to your body. The wheels provide stability by resisting rapid turns. This prevents wobbly walks and supports a smooth, comfortable walking experience, so go for it!
Folds & unfolds in seconds
Sometimes, a rollator walker can be a bit impractical, can’t it? The Nordic Pioneer has you covered. Like the byACRE Ultralights and Overlands, the Nordic Pioneer is easy to fold. No more long and difficult pulling, pushing, or unlocking – it only takes a moment to fold and unfold. Storing the Nordic Pioneer in the car? No problem! Carrying it up the stairs? Go ahead! Tight spaces? Don’t worry about it!
in-built seat
A front-row seat wherever you are – the discrete built-in seat is made with sturdy, stain-proofed material. Even bad weather days are no challenge for it thanks to the water-resistant fabric.
Aluminium core
At the heart of the Nordic Pioneer is its aluminium core. Why aluminium? Its properties are just what byACRE were looking for:
- Lightweight
- Strong & durable
- Resistant to corrosion
- Long lifecycle by being infinitely recyclable.
Quality Wheels
The Nordic Pioneers’ large, soft PUR tyres make it an extremely versatile all-around rollator walker.
- Durability for long-lasting performance.
- Great shock absorption on unpaved surfaces.
- Excellent traction.
- Sealed glide bearings prevent wobbling.
- Puncture-proof for unhindered walking.
byACRE have carefully selected a tire size that lies between the Carbon Ultralight and Carbon Overland to provide a perfect ratio of stability and enhanced maneuverability.
Upright posture
The soft, forward-facing handles allow you to be close to the rollator, supporting a straightened back and minimising the pressure on your shoulders, neck, and back.
Adjustable handles
An easy-to-push button lets you adjust the height of the handles quickly. With four height settings, the handle height goes from 84 to 94 cm.
Smooth walking
The ergonomic handles, large, soft wheels, and dynamic, arrow-shaped frame are designed for you to walk with ease, every day and nearly anywhere.
Carbon Ultralight FAQs
A: EPP stands for 'Expanded Polypropylene'. It is an exceptionally versatile closed-cell bead foam. Take a look at its cool, unique properties:
- 100% recyclable.
- Lightweight material.
- Energy absorption & multi-impact resistance.
- Water & chemical resistant
- High strength-to-weight ratio.
- The ultra-durable, multi-impact resistant EPP material keeps your rollator walker scratch-free.
The Nordic Pioneer is the first rollator walker using EPP, making it a highly durable, versatile, lightweight rollator.
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 ergonmically shaped byACRE handles mean you steer the walker with the palm of your hand rather than using your finger, wrist and hand joints.

A: Not quite. byACRE don’t see themselves as a sustainable company – yet! But hear them out:
"We don’t consider ourselves saints simply by introducing more environmentally responsible materials and designs. We see it as a natural consequence of being a responsible company. And we consider it common sense to focus on alternative solutions to reduce the negative impact on the environment.
"Therefore, we are dedicated to improving our practices through innovation and being ahead of the industry standard:
- EPP & aluminum: Materials that can be fully repurposed and possess strong, highly durable characteristics
- Recycled material: Produced with low CO2 emission using renewable energy to be repurposed after use
- Innovative design: Interchangeable EPP frame prolongs the rollator’s lifetime instead of replacing the rollator due to scratches and bumps."

The Nordic Pioneer is byACRE's most eco-friendly rollator walker. It represents the balance of innovation, functionality, and environmental consciousness – a first step in the right direction!

PEOPLE ARE LOVIN' IT...
★★★★★"I was able to take the longest walk I have taken in many years. The wheels are incredible as they absorb a lot more shock from surface changes. The Nordic Pioneer is very easy to fold and to get in and out of cabs and cars. It’s a truly brilliant design and a joy to use."

★★★★★“I was never comfortable using one until I saw the Nordic pioneer. And the way you guys use ‘younger’ models really encouraged me. So I caved and bought it. I tried it by going to the zoo, something I’d normally never dare to walk. And it felt great!
I was able to walk for four hours without major pain or feeling unstable. I haven’t been able to do that since I was 15.”Megan
