EVEN THOUGH AN “ALINKER” WALKING BICYCLE LOOKS LIKE A BIKE
IT IS DESIGNED DIFFERENTLY — SO EXPECT IT TO BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY TOO!
1. NO PEDALS
• You walk and stop easily using your foot, do not rely on hand-brake!
• So you don’t want to exceed speed limit 3 mph which will make braking and stopping quickly
more difficult.
• Avoid resting feet too close to front wheels.
2. UPRIGHT / STANDING POSITION
• Benefit: seeing and being seen while keeping your balance.
• Risk: upright means your center of gravity means you need to be more careful when when
turning and when on a tilted slope! To minimize this risk seat must not be more than 4”
(10cm) above stem to reduce risk of tipping; if need seat higher order a taller Alinker.
3. Before riding, become familiar with it.
As already indicated it has no pedals and you are in a standing position which means it is unlike
any other device you have used in the past. You do need to sit down while you walk. In fact you
walk on wheels. Putting your weight on the saddle makes for better balance.
