Has anyone had experience with the Alinker walking bike?

I purchased an Alinker in April 2024 and participated in the Stanford study. I have degenerative disc disease, spinal arthritis, lumbar stenosis and lumbar spondylosis which make it extremely painful to walk or remain standing for more than 5 minutes. The Alinker did not alleviate my walking pain and was useless as a walking aid. Foot and leg still become numb and uncontrollable after 10 minutes on the bike.

Hello @backalley, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Alinker walking bike. Sorry to hear the bike didn't help. I have difficulty walking also with my degenerative disc disease and arthritis but it normally doesn't cause the extreme pain, just is difficult for me to walk any distance. I can ride my recumbent exercise bike for 45 minutes to an hour but if I had to walk that long I would pretty much be toast.
Have you found any other walking aids that help you?
