The Only Mobility Bike That Keeps You Upright, Active, and Participating in Life
Feet Down ◆ Stand Tall ◆ Go Further
The Alinker is designed for how you want to live, regardless of mobility challenges. Feet on the ground, eye to eye, moving under your own power.
Riders tell us their legs get stronger, their heads get clearer, and they say yes more often.
Your fit, your size, and the ways riders pay
Is the Alinker right for you?
Find out your size, what it costs, and if an Alinker will work for you!
Who will be riding the Alinker?
What makes getting around hardest right now?
Pick the one that fits most.
Standing up, can you lift one foot off the ground?
Even for a second. This is the one thing the Alinker really asks of you, because your own legs do the moving.
Roughly what does the rider weigh?
The frame is engineered to a set limit, so this one matters for safety.
What is the rider's inseam?
Stand against a wall with a hardcover book loosely between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top of the book. Alinker inseam runs to the ground, not to the seam of your trousers.
The Alinker is $2,830. Where are you at with that right now?
No hidden pricing, and nothing here is a commitment. Knowing where you stand just helps us point you at the right next step.

Kevin, out on his Alinker, feet on the ground the whole way
No pedals, three wheels, and the saddle takes his weight so his legs only have to move him forward
See if it would work for you, 1 minute quizFeet Down
Three wheels, no pedals, and your feet never leave the ground. Nothing to balance, nothing to climb onto.
Stand Tall
The seat sits at standing height, so you are eye to eye with people on foot. Nobody bends down, nobody talks over you.
Go Further
The saddle carries your weight, so your legs only have to move. That is where the extra distance comes from.
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by riders in over 30 countries
With the walking aid we were down to 300 metres a day. The first time with the Alinker he covered a kilometre, and a week later nearly two
People talk to me rather than asking Martin about me. I can go out with friends and walk and talk at the same time
We went to a park at Lake Ontario yesterday and I rode the trails for 4 miles. By the way, I am 70 years old
Movement is medicine, connection, life, fun, strength and power
A closer look at the Alinker
Seat at standing height
Nobody bends down to you again.
Padded saddle
Your legs stop holding you up, so they can take you further.
Adjustable steering bar
It adjusts to your body, never the other way around.
Three wheels
Falling stops being the thing you think about.
Rear brake
Hills stop deciding for you.
Quick-release wheels and saddle
Under 21 lb and it fits in the trunk, so the zoo and the trail come back.
Who is the Alinker for?
MS · Parkinson's · Stroke · Cerebral palsy · Muscular dystrophy · Arthritis · Ataxia · Neuropathy · Spinal cord injury · Amputation · Down syndrome · ME/CFS · Long COVID · Rebuilding after surgery · Or nothing with a name at all, just legs that don't go as far as they used to
It was never about the diagnosis. It's about the part of you that still wants to move.
This is for you if:
You want your energy to last as long as your plans
You want to leave the house without mapping the benches
You want to walk beside the people you love, not behind them
You want people curious about you, not careful with you
Take the quiz. Your fit and your size, about a minute.
What makes the Alinker different?
Every device below gets you through today.
Only one of them makes you stronger for next year.
You do the walking, the bike does the rest
People ask where the pedals are. There aren't any. The effort is the benefit, not the cost.
Balance stops being your job
Two-wheeled walking bikes ask you to balance, which rules out most of the people who need one. The Alinker holds itself up.
People talk to you, not about you
Riders tell us the biggest change isn't the distance. You stop being looked at and start being talked to.

How does the Alinker help your brain?
When a motor does the moving, your brain sits it out. On an Alinker it can't.
You move
Every push off, every steer, every small correction to stay on line is your body sending a signal up to your brain. Not once or twice, but continuously, for as long as you are out.
Your brain answers
Brains keep and strengthen the pathways they use. Give yours movement to work with, regularly, and it has something to build on. This is what we mean by activation.
It builds on itself
Riders describe it arriving over weeks and months rather than days. Steadier on their feet, more stamina, and outings that keep getting longer.
The Alinker helps you rebuild your body
What the research is finding
Stanford University is running a clinical study of the Alinker with knee replacement patients at its Joint Replacement Clinic. Those results will be published by Stanford.
While that study runs, we studied 64 of our own riders and asked one question: what would your health, and your bills, look like without it?
Their answers, priced at the lowest estimate on every line: $9,200 to $54,250 per year in avoided medical and care costs. 92% said the Alinker helped them avoid major healthcare expenses: surgeries, medications, equipment.

What Alinker riders say
Real riders, in their own words. Every one of these is published on our testimonials page, and most of them wrote to us unprompted.
Gosh, I feel like I am 5 years old again.
I had to pause if I needed to make eye contact. Now I can whiz down the hallway and easily make eye contact again. My brain feels so relieved not having to stress about tripping. With the Alinker my world has expanded greatly.
People talk to me rather than asking Martin about me.
I can go out with friends and walk and talk at the same time. When I am out, I am at the same level as Martin, my friends and the people we meet.
Now my wife has trouble keeping up with me.
I didn't have the stamina to walk distances, so I couldn't keep up and lagged behind. Now with the Alinker I can go on walk-rides for longer distances.
This is him on his spring trip to Budapest, shortly after his 96th birthday.
With the walking aid we were down to about 300 to 400 metres a day. The first time with the Alinker, he covered about 1km. A week later he is already up to nearly 2km. My dad stopped travelling at 90 because he thought he was too old.
Much too young to just sit around.
I wasn't able to go out on my usual walks for the past 4 years because of severe back aches. Now I am out and about. We went to a park at Lake Ontario yesterday and I rode the trails for 4 miles. By the way, I am 70 years old.
Not only walking next to my husband, but seeing him enjoy walking, at a faster pace next to me, and not getting fatigued.
Yesterday I was able to walk beside my awesome husband for the first time in 6 years. He walks slower than the rest of us and gets fatigued after a few feet.
I especially love feeling the wind in my hair again.
It was hard to admit I could no longer walk around stores, but the Alinker made what had become a painful and almost impossible struggle into an easy errand. It took me a few weeks, but now I love this thing.
And Ingrid, watching me go: "It's wonderful to see you going out on your own, providing me with the feeling that you ARE going to return without falling."
Up to half a kilometre now, getting stronger daily, and with no butt tenderness at last. Going through slush is doable but certainly a challenging task, and good for me.
I feel that's quite safe.
I'm using my leg muscles but without all that body weight on my legs. I don't want to ride a rickety bicycle at my age because it's a long way to fall, and I've already broken my wrist twice. My feet are on the ground and I'm well balanced.
And Denise, walking next to me: "For the first time in many years we are actually walking side by side."
I should not be measured by my disability. I am not my disability. I am now not stared at as being a disabled person, I'm looked at as a curious person, because I'm riding this really nifty bike.
It slowed or stopped my health decline.
I waited as my insurance wouldn't approve it. I'm so frustrated by that, but the crowdfunding worked perfectly, and it brought me back to life. I avoided falls and injuries.
I no longer have people hitting me in the face with purses and backpacks.
I use forearm crutches and have had to use wheelchairs in years past. Now I use my Alinker at cultural institutions and museums. I am at eye level. I can move from piece to piece in my own timing. It is my walker, but better.
I can just take it anywhere.
I'm paralyzed on my left side, so it helps me to walk for longer distances. I always have a smile on my face when I'm on it. This makes me feel like I'm on my way to becoming healthy again.
I am thrilled to have it and I always get many questions about it.
I used the Alinker today to take my dog to a nature preserve I haven't been able to get to for over 2 years. Yesterday I took it to a Pride event.
I wear leg braces and find I can ride it even better with the new ones.
I took the Alinker to Las Vegas on my trip to have new leg braces made, and we rode it inside the Mirage and all the way down to Caesar's.
BE's mother would rather stay home than be seen with a walker. So BE, an architect, designed the thing her mother would actually want to be seen on, and built it into the Alinker.
That is why it is bright yellow. That is why you sit high. Every choice on this frame was made by someone who understood that the object has to be something you are proud to arrive on.

- Yours outright, nothing to renew
Finish the quiz and we will show you your size and the price for it.
What comes with it
Everything that keeps you riding it for years, not weeks.
- Two year warranty once you register it
- Real people on support, never a bot
- Folds down and fits in a small car

- Order it today and ride it this month
You do not have to win an argument with an insurer to get moving again.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost, and how would I pay for it?
The Alinker is $2,830, the same price whichever of the three sizes fits you. The quiz tells you which size that is.
You buy it outright and it is yours. Finish the quiz and we will send your size, the price, and a free shipping code you can use when you order.
Will my insurance cover it?
Usually not. Insurers tend to fund treatment rather than the things that keep people well in the first place, and the Alinker sits firmly in the second category.
So we kept our side simple instead. One price, a 15 day return window on full price purchases, and Jen on the phone if you want to talk it through first. You do not have to wait for an insurer to agree with you.
Do I need good balance to ride one?
Less than people expect. It stands on three wheels and holds itself up, and the seat takes your weight, so you are not balancing the way you would on a bicycle.
What we do look for:
- Some command over your legs
- Able to lift one leg while standing on the other
- Aware of what is going on around you
- Able to judge your own abilities and know your limits
If that sounds like you, the quiz will confirm it in about a minute.
Can I get it into my car by myself?
The whole bike weighs 26 lb and folds. The wheels and saddle come off with quick releases, and once they are off the frame is under 21 lb to lift.
Alinkers have gone into a Toyota Yaris, a Suzuki Swift and a Smart car. With a bigger boot or the rear seats down, you can fold it and roll it straight in.
What about hills?
It is at its best on flat and gently rolling ground. Some riders treat a slight rise as the workout and get stronger for it, and others prefer to route around them.
Going down, the rear brake holds you at a steady walking pace. Keep it under 3 mph and stay in control. It is a walking bike, not a downhill bike.
How much weight does it take?
The current design supports riders up to 265 lb.
How do I know which size I am?
Sizing runs off your inseam, not your height. The Happy Small starts at a 22" inseam and runs to 26.5", then Small and Medium take it from there.
The quiz asks for the measurement and tells you which one is yours, so you are not guessing at checkout.
How quickly does it arrive, and is it covered?
For the 22" and 32" frames, one to two weeks. The 27" frame is currently running six to eight weeks, and the quiz will tell you which frame is yours. Either way it arrives with a two year warranty, which starts once you register the serial number on our site.
Support is staffed by real people, several of whom ride an Alinker themselves. No bots.
15 days to change your mind
