Van Raam City walking bike as an alternative to the Alinker walking bike

The Alinker is a walking bike with three wheels. Van Raam has a good alternative for this mobility bike. Read more about the City walking bike here and check out the benefits.

Walking bike Alinker alternative

The Alinker walking bike and the Van Raam City walking bike have the same purpose and offer largely the same benefits. You choose a walking bike if a wheelchair or mobility scooter is not (yet) necessary. With a walking bike, walking takes less effort, allowing you to cover longer distances. Your weight is carried by the walking bike, so your leg joints are relieved. A walking bike has no pedals like a regular bike, it is therefore also called a walking aid or mobility bike.

The Van Raam City walking bike is a good alternative to the Alinker walking bike. The City, unlike the Alinker mobility bike, has 2 wheels, making it more compact and very maneuverable. The City walking bike is also made to order, so it is always possible to adjust it to your personal needs.

User experience walking aid City - Ronald Hummelink
My name is Ronald Hummelink and since a few months I use Van Raam's City walking aid almost daily. A tumor has caused fractures in my ankle and walking became very painful for me. I made a request through my health insurance and I got the walking aid reimbursed. This walking support from Van Raam is really ideal for me, because now I can move forward without pain and effort!
