Rent your Streetstepper
In addition to the many health benefits they offer, Streetsteppers are also a very pleasant way to get around. Whether to explore the city or to take a pleasure trip through nature, the Streetstepper takes you quickly and easily where you want to go.
A step bike combines the speed of a bicycle with a natural posture that does not stress the back, the buttocks, the joints or the pelvis. All in the open air with no more effort than you do during a brisk walk.
Streetstepper Mechelen uses these assets to give you a total experience in Mechelen and the surrounding nature of Muizen, Bonheiden, ... Avoid all traffic jams with the stepper bike during a city visit, wander aimlessly along the Dijle, visit the hidden castles in Mechelen, or enjoy nature with a gentle breeze on your face.
Suggested routes
We have mapped out a pleasant route for you, which takes you through car-free nature areas to the historic center of Mechelen and back. You can choose 30, 35, 40 or 50 km routes.

Physiotherapists
The medical world is also increasingly discovering the benefits of the Streetstepper. Doctors and physiotherapists are increasingly recommending the use of a step bike or using one in their treatments. Stepper bikes are not called the healthiest sport in the world for nothing.
Patients who suffer from back pain or joint problems find the step bike a perfect alternative to get exercise or to rehabilitate after injuries without the disadvantages of other sports or therapies.
With a Streetstepper you avoid the stressful posture that you have to adopt while cycling and the shocks that the joints (ankle, knee, pelvis) have to absorb while jogging or running.
Doctors, physiotherapists and physical therapists, but also sports coaches, can always contact us for a presentation of the Streetstepper. But why not take a trip and experience the beneficial effects yourself, as well as the motivating pleasure of scooters?

The health benefits of the Streetstepper
Due to the standing position on a step bike, the user of the Streetstepper experiences much less stress on his back and pelvis than with a bicycle. In addition, the joints, especially the knees, do not have to absorb the constant shocks they have to endure when running.
As a result, the Streetstepper offers very healthy exercise without adverse side effects.
Doctors and physiotherapists have also noticed this. More and more physiotherapists use the Streetstepper as a medical rehabilitation tool or recommend it to their patients.
