Foldable Stand-Up Walking Bike For Mobility Issues | Pedal-Free Tricycle Updated
Oct 3, 2022
A company specializing in mobility technology for people with temporary or permanent physical disabilities announces updates to its pioneering walking bike.
Vancouver,Canada - October 3, 2022 /PressCable/ —
With its latest version, Alinker offers users a state-of-the-art non-motorized bike without pedals, featuring an adjustable saddle and handlebars. The bike is custom-designed to help those with physical impairments regain freedom of movement and a measure of independence.
More details can be found at https://thealinker.com
The announcement details the mechanics behind the Alinker’s unique design and underlines the maker’s commitment to challenging society’s assumptions regarding disability. The walking bike helps people with limited mobility stay active, regain strength, and live more fulfilling and sociable lives.
The ethos behind the Alinker sets it apart from other mobility aids which, traditionally, are technical solutions to what society inherently sees as problems. Studies suggest that around 50% of wheelchair users can still use their legs but, through a need for physical support and a lack of viable alternatives, end up using a device that does nothing to encourage movement or stimulate muscle groups.
The walking bike aims to support individuals who identify as active people but who find their mobility compromised due to injury or physiological impairments. The Alinker is already being used by people with Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries as well as those recovering from strokes or undergoing post-surgery rehabilitation.
A responsive and intuitive design enables users to navigate curbs, slopes, and canted pathways with confidence. The Alinker is also foldable with removable wheels, making it easy to transport and use whilst traveling.
Other features include a rear brake, a handbrake, a quick-release saddle, and a robust stand for secure parking. The bike comes in both small and medium sizes with orders currently fulfilled within two to four weeks.
About Alinker
The company is the brainchild of Dutch designer, architect, humanitarian, and inventor BE Alink. Inspired by her aging mother’s aversion to traditional mobility scooters and walking aids, she set about designing a bike that empowered people who weren’t content to be defined by the physical challenges they faced.

A spokesperson says, “Our mission is to create revolutionary ways for people who want to live an active life, despite existing or developing mobility challenges. Our goal is to make it as easy and fun as possible for people to stay physically active, socially connected, and emotionally engaged in the community.”
With its latest updates, the Alinker continues to make mobility more accessible for millions across the US and beyond.

How Hong Kong New Wave directors hijacked martial arts and crime films to make art
It is easy to misremember the Hong Kong New Wave of the late 1970s and 80s. Nearly five decades after its inception, that iconic chapter in the city’s cinema history is generally thought of as a socially inclined art-house movement that addressed everyday issues – a stark contrast to the martial arts films that dominated the local box office at the time. While partially true, viewing New Wave films merely as local iterations of 1960s and 70s rarefied European art-house cinema misses the mark....
