In this segment of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, Alie Ward meets with Bea Alink, the inventor of the Alinker walking bike.
The Alinker is a non-motorized walking-bike without pedals. With an adjustable saddle and handlebars, it is custom designed to challenge society’s assumptions about disability. Alink's goal is to make it as easy and fun as possible for people with mobility limitations to stay physically active, socially connected, and emotionally engaged in the community.
The Alinker has an adjustable seat, handlebars, brakes, an aluminum structure, and three wheels -- two in the front and one in the back. The adjustable seat and small rear wheel allows users to walk directly onto the seat without having to swing their leg over like on a traditional bike.

I just heard of the Alinker on Canada's CBC radio's Now or Never program (Oct 28/21). I don't have any need for the Alinker myself, nor for anyone I know, but I am sitting here with goosebumps because this is SUCH A GENIUS INVENTION! I am SO HAPPY for anyone whose life is improved by this! Social connections, exercise, mobility, independence, omg... this invention and its inventor deserve significant accolades. BRAVO!! ☺️

Write to them! Ask your local leaders to import it! This fabulous thing needs to go worldwide.

NOTE: If a person has auto club they may be able to call for assistance if a flat happens. Check with your provider. Canada's BCAA has this service for bicycles, and the membership is only 10/month.

I’m not at all fond of Henry Ford but this device is amazing.

My brother shakes and jerks bad. He can barely feed himself. He has been in a wheelchair for the past 3 years so he don't have many leg muscles. He wants to walk so bad. He falls almost daily. Do you think this would work for him. Also, is it sturdy. Is it easily turned over

What is the size of the front wheels? Does the Alinker move well over grass or other uneven terrain? Where is this available for purchase? I need one, like, yesterday (or 10 years ago, lol). I have progressive MS.

I've had no success trying to get an answer from the company....I REALLY want an Alinker but no one seems willing to ship one to me in Western Turkey....I'm an American but living here for 30 years. I need to move more than I can with a rollator. My problem is with my back. The Alinker seems to be exactly what will be an asset and prolong my life. I wish someone would answer my emails...!!!

How well does it work on dirt or gravel paths?

Good question, it needs tires akin to mountain bikes. Perhaps there are choices or will be soon.

Show it taking a turn. Looked at 20 videos and no one shows it turning. I think it doesn’t turn, perfers to just go straight. Probably makes a very wide turn? The front wheels don’t twist? Why is this movement not preformed?

Very nice... a lot of people could use one of these but very expensive ...only the rich can afford these... And taken advantage of other people's disabilities to become rich.. You can take an ordinary bike and make this type of bike out of it and it would not cost thousands of dollars

Many people in wheelchairs have catheters how does this bike deal with that ? Actually a majority of wheelchair users have catheters

They need some type of program. The price is out of reach for most people. I would love one but sadly can't afford it. To be able to walk around would be such a blessing oh well.

Is there some people this would not be good for? I have an acquaintance friend who's trying to raise funds for one. However, she's very overweight and also has had a lot of work/surgery done on her hips. I just don't want to see her disappointed. She was not the athlete type.

There really should be an option for solid wheels instead of inflatable (prone to flats) tires.

After over a year… I say A great invention But not a great investment without a full evaluation Which sadly they don’t recommend before purchase
