Has anyone had experience with the Alinker walking bike?

Thank you so much for posting. Yes, I, too, have winced at the price. But having my ability to walk decrease week by week and month by month, partially from osteoarthritis and partially from peripheral neuropathy, getting outside, especially now that spring is on its way (I live in a high desert), it sounds very appealing. I have a recumbent tricycle that I haven't ridden for two years because it weighs 40+ lbs and is hard to get into and out of the car, and not many places to ride it w/o taking it somewhere by car.
How transportable is the Alinker? What does it weigh? How mucy does it collapse for transport? or does it need to collapse?
Thanks for your input.

The manual says there are 3 sizes of the Alinker bike and they all weigh 26 lbs. It does fold up. Here's the manual - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1464/0582/files/Alinker_Manual.pdf.

There are also some tutorial videos that are helpful - https://www.thealinker.com/pages/product-tutorials.

I was concerned about taking it apart and loading it in my Scion XB. The wheels pop off and it folds in half, and weighs 26 pounds. With my spine, I don't use my back to lift it, I rock it forward and grab it's rounded front and lift with my legs. It's actually quite easy and I'm a whopping 4' 9.5" so if I can get it into my car, anyone can!
