First impressions
At first, the Me-Mover may feel different from anything you’ve tried before. The gentle side-to-side movement is part of the design and quickly becomes natural as you start moving.
Stable and confidence-inspiring
Thanks to its three-wheel design, the Me-Mover is very stable and easier to balance than a bicycle. You can stay standing even when fully stopped—no need to put a foot on the ground.
Easy to get started
If you can walk normally and go up stairs without assistance, you already have the coordination needed to ride a Me-Mover. Most users feel comfortable after just a short time.
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 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 8 inches 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.
The Me-Mover is categorized as a bicycle in some areas 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.
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@propeloutdoorz.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.

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 engineering. It consists of more than 150 components each driven by 3 chains and a one-way clutch. The only thing that requires regular maintenance 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
It all depends on the user. Generally, the Me-Mover’s speed ranges from regular walking speed to fast cycling speed (0-25 mph), 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 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 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 50.7 lbs, 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.
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.
