After some attempts, I managed to attach the handle tight onto the cane part.
Attaching the handle to my own cane is something I did not try, because then
you need to remove (literally cut off) your cane's original handle and make
sure you do not lose the elastic strap because you will have to pull it through
the adapter that needs to be attached to the cane. The diameter of the cane
also would have to be taken into consideration for using the adapter.
First Feel
The handle feels solid, and the roller tip is swiveling freely. The cane part feels
sturdy.
With about 250 g, the WeWalk handle is rather heavy.
Thanks to its cylindric shape, the handle rest well in the palm of my hand. It
will fit for smaller and bigger hands.
When lifting the assembled cane, it is much heavier than my normal long white
cane. Maybe for the heavy handle I had the impression as if the cane
altogether was not as sturdy as my own one.
If the WeWalk was my cane, I would have changed the elastic wrist strap,
which is rather lose and not well designed in length and strength to keep the
folded cane together.
