Frequently asked questions about the Me-Mover

Working in close collaboration with physiotherapists and medical experts, we designed the Me-Mover to be the most effective tool available for improving balance, core strength, and overall fitness. The Me-Mover offers a range of unique benefits:

  • Fun, motivating, and flexible outdoor training with more than 30+ exercise routines
  • Unique and highly effective balance training
  • Back-friendly movement
  • Extremely gentle on joints and tendons
  • Builds cardiovascular fitness
  • Strengthens key muscle groups
  • Helps reduce pain and prevent injuries in the back, neck, hips, and knees
  • Activates both deep and surface core muscles
  • Targeted training for legs, thighs, glutes, abs, and back

Laboratory tests measuring muscle activation have compared different Me-Mover training modes (normal pace, half pace, big steps, sprints, two-legged jumps, etc.) with traditional exercises such as running, biking, lunges, squats, and crunches.

The results surprised researchers: the Me-Mover engages a remarkably high number of muscles — and activates them intensely.

With the Me-Mover, you get a high-intensity, full-body workout with ultra-low impact on your joints. It strengthens your legs, glutes, core, back, pectorals, and even your arms — all in one smooth, natural motion.

What’s more, the G-force impact on your joints is dramatically lower on the Me-Mover than when running — and even lower than when walking.

This means you enjoy a workout that is not only more effective, but also much safer, significantly reducing the risk of injury.

The Me-Mover is powered by a truly unique variable transmission — one that responds instantly to your movement. As the pedal rises and falls, the gearing automatically shifts, engaging different power zones throughout the stroke. At the top, the gearing is ultra-light, around one-tenth of the gearing at the bottom, giving you effortless acceleration and smooth transitions. In the middle zone, the gearing rises naturally, creating the perfect balance of control and power.

What makes this system extraordinary is its seamlessness:

there’s no lag, no clunk, no moment of lost energy.

Just a fluid, uninterrupted motion that feels almost intuitive — as if the Me-Mover knows what you want to do before you do.

This innovative transmission lets you:

  • Glide forward with full power at high speeds
  • Climb hills with ease, using short, quick steps in a natural low-gear mode
  • Enjoy a smoother, more efficient ride that adapts instantly to your rhythm

The result is a riding experience unlike anything else — responsive, powerful, and incredibly fun.

The Me-Mover’s unique variable transmission makes hill climbing surprisingly easy. By engaging the upper region of the pedal stroke, you naturally shift into a lower gear, allowing you to take smaller, quicker steps with less effort. It’s a different technique than what most people are used to, so it takes a bit of practice — but once it clicks, it feels completely intuitive.

Of course, the Me-Mover isn’t a mountain bike. But its climbing ability is far beyond what most expect.

In controlled lab tests, experienced riders reached 26 km/h (16 mph) on a 6% incline, demonstrating the impressive efficiency of the transmission.

Out in the real world, we’ve climbed hills with gradients above 10%, at lower speeds but with full control and a smooth, rhythmic motion.

Every Me-Mover is designed as a modular system. So if you’d like to add any new options we’re developing – such as an electric motor or cargo loader – you don’t need to change your existing Me-Mover. Just buy the components you want and upgrade your current model.

 Another advantage is that the transmission can be easily remove with a few screws and send for repair should the need occur. Furthermore, you will be able to upgrade your Me-Mover with future transmission designs.

The entire foot fits into the pedal. You pull up instead of pushing down as you would with an ordinary bike – just step on it as though you were climbing stairs. The pedal is about 20cm/8inches long and drops by itself after you lift it, enabling you to rest the weight of your body on the descending pedal rather than pressing down on the pedal. The pedals are large enough for just about any size of feet.

If your goal is simply to get from A to B as cheaply and quickly as possible, a bicycle will often be the better choice. But the Me-Mover was created for something different: a healthier, more engaging, and more full-body way to move.

Designed and developed in Denmark, the Me-Mover is categorized as a bicycle in some parts of Europe and as a tricycle in others. It can be just as fast as a regular bike, but the motion requires more muscle engagement — making it ideal for anyone looking to get in shape, recover after an injury, or reduce the risk of developing one.

A healthier posture

Unlike a bicycle, where you sit hunched over the handlebars, the Me-Mover puts you in a natural, upright position. This is especially appreciated by people with back or neck pain, as the movement supports proper alignment instead of straining it.

More muscles activated — every single ride

Cycling repeats the same limited movement pattern, mainly using the quadriceps.

The Me-Mover engages:

  • legs (quads, hamstrings, glutes)
  • core (deep and outer core)
  • back and postural muscles
  • even the arms and shoulders

This turns every ride into a true full-body workout, not just a leg exercise.

Greater stability, especially at low speeds

Thanks to its three-wheel design, the Me-Mover offers exceptional stability — something bicycles struggle with, particularly at lower speeds. This makes it suitable for a much wider range of users, including those with balance challenges or people returning from injury.

A dynamic, responsive movement

On a bicycle, your upper body remains mostly fixed: your back, neck, and arms hardly move.

On a Me-Mover, your whole body comes alive. You lean into curves, adjust your balance, and activate stabilizing muscles continuously. This makes the ride:

  • more engaging
  • more effective
  • and, simply, more fun

In short

If you want an outdoor workout that strengthens your whole body, supports a healthy posture, improves balance, and still feels exciting every time you step on it — the Me-Mover will not disappoint.

Yes, we have an exercise guide manual where you will find information like how to use Me-Mover including benefits, Tips & Tricks  and other useful information about the Me-Mover. You can check the exercise manual on this (click here link) or check the footer.

Assembling your Me-Mover

The user manuals are an important document for getting the most out of your Me-Mover Fit, Me-Mover speed and the Me-Mover Hometrainer. It also contains important safety, performance and maintenance information. We urge you to read the manuals prior to riding our product. Please visit our Youtube channel for assembly videos and guides.

The Me-Mover comes semi-assembled. You need to connect the front column with one bolt, mount the mudguard and bottleholder and finally attach the handlebar with both brake wires. Please check out our Youtube assembly guide. (click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1OSdzWcPiA  )

If you continue to struggle, we can give you a call or schedule a live conference video if you like.

The front brake goes to the left side, and the rear brake goes to the right-hand side according to European standards. 

We assemble and test all Me-Movers prior to shipping. You might therefore encounter smaller marks on the grips, folding mechanism, tires and brake system. Some bolts might also be affected by that. This is necessary due to the very tight tolerances and to ensure every product meets our quality requirements. If you encounter any other severe scratches during the unboxing process, please report this to us, with images and a detailed written description. Send an email to support@me-mover.com.

The bolt connecting the frame to the front column can be a little tight to fit. Try moving it in while rocking the frame lightly back and forth. If it gets stuck, turn it with the allen key and push inward until it fetches the thread of the other side. See the instruction video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1OSdzWcPiA

It is very important to fine-tune the transmission as the last step when assembling the Me-Mover. Here the wheels should be perpendicular to the ground and align vertically to the steering column.

If you struggle, please contact support@me-mover.com

When starting to ride – take it easy. Starting on flat ground, check all functions. Check the front and rear brakes and whether the transmissions are securely and tightly fitted to each side of the Me-mover. And remember, do not lean backwards or attempt jumps with the Me-Mover. Please check our instruction video for more information:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHIp773YCBA&t=1s

A maximum height of 198 cm (6`6″) and maximum weight of 100kg (220) pounds is recommended, although the Me-Mover is tested up to 120kg (260 pounds). We also recommend a minimum weight of 30kg (66 lbs).

The Me-Mover is equipped with a fully automatic gearing system. There’s no need to engage or change gears at all.  Depending on how high you lift the pedal, the variable gearing system will adjust its gearing ratio automatically. The transmission does look simple at first but it is a master piece of Danish engineering. It consists of more than 150 components each driven by 3 chains and a one-way clutch. The only thing that requires regular maintainance are the chains, like on any other bicycle.

Depending on the pedal stroke and pedal position you use on the Me-Mover, you can access different gear levels. For example, you’ve got heavy gearing at the bottom of the pedal stroke and lighter gearing at the top range. Check out our video on how the transmission works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DacqYri-Wc

The Me-Mover is built with high-quality components and precision engineering, using premium materials chosen for strength, durability, and performance. Most of the visible design elements are custom-made — not only to give the Me-Mover its distinctive look, but also to create a smooth, powerful, and truly unique riding experience.

We use T6 aluminum alloy, the same grade used in aerospace and aviation, where the balance between high strength and low weight is critical. Every part has been carefully engineered in Denmark and Germany, ensuring a world-class standard from concept to final assembly.

Today, the Me-Mover is assembled primarily in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a few select versions produced in China. Regardless of origin, every single unit is overseen, quality-checked, and approved by our Danish headquarters to guarantee the same premium standard across all products.

At around 23 kg, the Me-Mover offers the ideal blend of stability and sturdiness. It is built to last — a serious piece of engineering — and should never be mistaken for a lightweight or disposable scooter. This is a high-performance machine designed for years of joyful, reliable use.

Everyone can ride the Me-Mover — and almost anyone can learn to ride it confidently. Even though it may look challenging at first glance, the Me-Mover’s three-wheel design makes it far more stable than a bicycle.

When you step on for the first time, you might feel a bit of wobble, but that’s simply the built-in flexibility — the very thing that gives the Me-Mover its smooth, dynamic, and intuitive motion.

If you can walk without a walking aid and can comfortably climb stairs, you will be able to learn the Me-Mover.

It may take a little longer to master than riding a bicycle, but once the technique clicks, it becomes second nature.

Riding like a pro — leaning into curves, flowing with the movement, and picking up speed — takes some practice. But that’s part of the joy: the learning curve is fun, rewarding, and keeps you progressing every time you ride.

So be patient with yourself, enjoy the process, and before long you’ll be riding the Me-Mover with confidence and style.

The Me-Mover may look a little like a bicycle or scooter, but its design and functionality place it in a completely different category. Since 2010, the Me-Mover has been continuously developed and refined, with a special focus on its breakthrough variable transmission technology. This technology has evolved over the years into what it is today: a uniquely smooth, efficient, and body-friendly riding system unlike anything else on the market.

A major reason for its higher price compared with a standard bike is the pair of Danish-engineered automatic transmissions — one on each side — that power your forward motion with incredibly low impact on your joints. These transmissions are engineering achievements in themselves: each contains around 150 precision components, perfected through countless iterations. Together, they form the “motor” of the Me-Mover, enabling the most efficient, low-impact, and engaging workout you can imagine.

But the Me-Mover is more than a vehicle — it is a one-stop solution:

  • A mode of transportation for commuting or getting around town
  • An outdoor exercise machine unlike anything else, delivering a full-body, low-impact workout
  • A rehabilitation and injury-prevention tool, helping many users recover faster or reduce the risk of future injuries

No other product combines all three in one system. With the Me-Mover, you enjoy freedom of movement, a powerful workout, and a healthier body — all in the same ride.

It all depends on the user. Generally, the Me-Mover’s speed ranges from regular walking speed to fast cycling speed (0-25 mph / 0-30 km/h), with the Me-Mover Speed 2021 Edition being markedly faster than a Me-Mover 2.3. Once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you will have no trouble keeping up with the flow on the bike path.

We have used a lot of effort and tests to develop a simple, yet functional and safe footstrap. The foot strap is easily adjusted with an adjustment screw, and is open on one side so you can easily hop off your Me-Mover in a tricky situation.

We have designed a specific loop in the centerblock for the lock, enabling you to use an ordinary cable-lock for bicycles and lock it to a fixed object. Loop the chain through the centreblock and the front wheel, and then secure it to an immovable object. It’s a good idea to engage the parking brake, too!

The Me-Mover has a very simple folding mechanism that takes just a few seconds to fold! See this video for an explanation of how to do it.

It can indeed. You can use a backpack or purchase one of our light-weight front racks that can carry a load of up to 15kg (34 pounds).

Maintenance and repair

For minor repairs, use the Me-Mover FIT online user manual as an instruction guide. To get a list of repairs that you can do at home, please find the relevant section in the user manual. If there is something you cannot fix, please get in contact with either Me-Mover at support@me-mover.com or your dealer. We will find a solution for you.

The user manuals are an important document for getting the most out of your Me-Mover Fit, Me-Mover speed and the Me-Mover Hometrainer. It also contains important safety, performance and maintenance information. We recommend to read the manuals.

Pump the tires to 4 bars or 58 psi (pounds per square inch) for best performance and riding experience.

Me-Mover models use a standard tire that should be able to be found locally – if not in store the bike shop could order it home. We recommend CST, Schwalbe or Continental tires.

Easy to learn and simple to use, the Me-Mover is also remarkably easy to maintain. The advanced multi-speed transmission is fully sealed, protecting it from dirt and weather, and can be serviced by any professional bike shop. Our online user manual provides clear, step-by-step guidance for maintenance and repairs, and you can access all resources through our Support Center.

While the Me-Mover is relatively maintenance-free, we do recommend keeping it clean and regularly lubricating or greasing key moving parts to ensure optimal performance. To make this as easy as possible, we’ve created detailed video guides for every step of the process.

The most critical component to maintain is the carving mechanism, which should be kept clean and properly lubricated for a smooth and responsive ride. The chain needs to be cleaned and inspected every 6 months or 1000 km for wear and tear.

Safety

The three-wheeled design makes the Me-Mover a highly stable vehicle, offering greater safety than a traditional bicycle.

You ride in an upright position, giving you a far better view of your surroundings and traffic. You can also step off the Me-Mover easily—even while in motion—since no frame blocks your legs or feet. And because it has three wheels, it remains more stable on wet surfaces and is far less likely to topple. In fact, the Me-Mover is so stable you never need to dismount, even at stop lights—perfect for sightseeing.

We’ve designed the Me-Mover to be as safe as possible under normal use and have incorporated unique safety features found nowhere else. Still, as with any vehicle, accidents can happen. Always wear a helmet, stay aware of weather and road conditions, and pay attention to others around you. The Me-Mover is intended for transport and fitness on relatively level terrain and is not designed for tricks or steep hills.

Each Me-Mover has been thoroughly tested for long-term durability, both in the lab and through real-life use. For example, our transmission has undergone two years of simulated maximum-force riding without failure or service. Studies also show that the Me-Mover’s motion results in exceptionally low impact on the ankles, knees, hips, and spine.

Any unapproved modification to the Me-Mover can make it unsafe to use and void your warranty. A component that is not approved or assembly that is not correct can put high stress on your Me-Mover FIT or components. A frame, fork, or component with modifications could decrease your control and cause you to fall. Do not sand, drill, file, remove secondary retention devices, install incompatible forks, or make other modifications. Before you add an accessory to your Me-Mover or change a part of your Me-Mover, consult your dealer or contact support@me-mover.com to confirm that it is compatible and safe.

Although you can learn to ride the Me-Mover in minutes, don’t ride on challenging terrain or in dense traffic areas until you have had plenty of practice and feel you have 100% control of the Me-Mover. It is your own responsibility to practice sufficiently on the Me-Mover before entering crowded areas. Always wear protective gear, such as a helmet and protective pads. And, of course, never ride the Me-Mover while intoxicated.

The ergonomic stepping motion is very gentle on the knees, and great for someone recovering from knee injury. So, although riding a Me-Mover is a high-intensity workout, the soft landing protects your joints, and has less impact even than walking! Check out our Medical Studies section for more information.

Depending on the country or state you live in, you may be legally obligated to wear a helmet. Please check your local road laws before riding your Me-Mover. We recommend to always wear a helmet.

Warranty

Every Me-Mover comes with a limited, two-year warranty on the frame and main parts: rear frame, front fork, steering column, transmission, pedal arms, and pedals. This warranty, however, excludes wear-and-tear parts and applies only to original owners ( not transferrable). This warranty expires two years from the date of delivery and is conditional upon the Me-Mover being operated under normal conditions and use, and with proper maintenance.

Your Me-Mover has been designed for general transportation and recreational use, but has not been designed to withstand abuse associated with doing stunts and jumping. That’s why the warranty ceases when you rent, sell or give away the Me-Mover, or ride with more than one person. It does not cover ordinary wear and tear or anything you break accidentally or deliberately. And it does not apply to malfunctions or failures that result from abuse, neglect, improper assembly, improper maintenance, alteration, collision, crash, accident or misuse. Nor does the warranty apply if the original owner uses the Me-Mover for other than its intended purpose. This warranty does not apply to paint, finish and component parts such as brake grips, brake cables, brakes (caliper, pads, and brake disc) brake handles, tyres, chains, anti-slip stickers, plastic covers, and mud guards. It is the responsibility of the individual consumer purchaser to assure that all parts included in the shipment box are adjusted properly and fully functional, and subsequent normal maintenance services and adjustments necessary are performed to keep the Me-Mover in good operating condition.

The contact person for warranty claims is the dealer from whom the Me-Mover was purchased. If purchased in the Me-Mover web-shop, please contact Me-Mover directly via support@me-mover.com.
