Bridging the Mobility Gap
The Y-Cane was designed to bridge the support gap in the current lineup of mobility devices.

Y-Cane vs.
Traditional Cane
For some users, traditional handle designs can lead to wrist strain, poor posture, and uncomfortable walking patterns. Over time, what's meant to help, can make movement feel less comfortable and less confident.
The Y-Cane's handle is designed to mirror the natural angle of your arm at rest — supporting posture, easing wrist strain, and encouraging a steadier, more natural stride.
Y-Cane vs.
Forearm Crutches
Forearm crutches offer stability and support, but they can feel bulky and some users end up adjusting how they walk to use them comfortably. For those who just need a little more support than a standard cane, they can sometimes feel too cumbersome.
The Y-Cane was designed with that gap in mind, giving you enhanced support without the bulk and restrictions.
Y-Cane vs.
Trekking Poles
Trekking poles provide lightweight, bilateral support that can help with balance. But they’re designed for hiking and outdoor terrain, not daily life.
The Y-Cane works wherever you go, usable as a single point of support or as a pair, while also offering wrist support for added stability.
Stories From the Telo Community
With the Y-Canes, I was able to make it to the top of Māngere Mountain in Auckland. This hike truly wouldn't have been possible without them. Since then, they've taken me across trails, beaches, and national parks. The Y-Canes have given me a new confidence when walking that's made navigating the world so much easier.

Before using the Y-Canes, I leaned on a single cane, my posture was off and I didn’t feel stable. With the Y-Canes, I stand taller and feel more independent. They’re my go to when walking any distance, giving me the confidence to conquer the day.

FAQ
Is the Y-Cane collapsible or travel-friendly?
Yes! The Y-Cane collapses down to 33.5", making it easy to store when not in use.
What heights does the Y-Cane support?
The Y-Cane has 12 adjustable height settings, with a handle height ranging from 29.5″ to 40.5″ (measured floor to handle).
To find your ideal fit, simply stand naturally with your arms at your side and measure from the floor to the crease of your wrist. If your measurement falls within the 29.5″ to 40.5″ range, the Y-Cane should fit you well.
Typically, the Y-Cane works well for those between 4’11″ to 6’8″.
What is the Y-Cane weight limit?
The Y-Cane supports users up to 300 lbs. If you have questions about fit, please reach out via the contact page!
Can I swap out the Y-Cane tip for a wider base?
Yes! The Y-Cane comes with a slim tip for everyday use, but you can swap in other standard 7/8" bases. This allows for the addition of wider footprints or different tread patterns for extra stability when you need it.
Please note: Telo does not manufacture, test, or endorse third-party bases, so please use caution and follow the base manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a secure and safe fit before use.
Can I adjust the wrist cuff for right or left hand usage?
Yes! Each Y-Cane comes with a wrist cuff that works for either hand. Just decide which hand you want to use, attach the cuff to that side, and you’re ready to go. Don't worry, easy to follow instructions will accompany every order.
Can I switch out the hand grip?
Yes! You can easily slide off the hand grip to clean, or swap in other standard 7/8" handgrips that matches the style that feels most comfortable to you.
Please note: Telo does not manufacture, test, or endorse third-party hand grips, so please use caution and follow the grip manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a secure and safe fit before use

I really love that they're so light. That was one of the biggest issues I had with my other mobility aids, and even my other canes. Over all its very sturdy, it's near-completely silent when I walk with them, and the magnets are fairly strong to keep the canes together.
However, when it first came in the foam for the wrist cuff was coming off. I think the summer heat was the culprit but when I contacted support they sent me a new set the next day. The stock hand grips are really sharp texture-wise but they are thankfully replaceable. I do wish the wrist cuffs were a little wider by design but it does fit the majority of wrist sizes. Overall I will be using these over my usual cane from now on!
C
Arrived quickly, easy to adjust, very comfortable on the wrists! Magnets sometimes are hard to align and get to click together in a set, but I get why they can't be stronger without causing problems
K
This is by far the best cane I have used. I love the additional support and lower profile than a forearm crutch. My only complaint is the cuff is a little uncomfortable to use for ling periods of time. I wish it was able to be angled to better fit my wrist and I wish it had better padding that went over the top of the cuff. However, it is still my go- to cane
J
the best cane i’ve ever used!! no more wrist pain! only downside is how easily the foam comes off, but they included extra foam so yay!!
A
This cane is absolutely amazing. I’ve been following Telo since their kickstarter (even before I think) and what they’ve created is truly unique. My sister has CRPS in her foot and uses a cane daily — this has changed the game for her. Her shoulder hurts so much less, her posture is better.
A
It's very lightweight and easy to put together, but it's far from my favorite to use. I don't like how you can't easily switch sides to use it, the wrist cuff is very uncomfortable and too low/short, the handle isn't easy to keep a grip on... for the cost I had higher hopes that this would be worth more than getting just a regular cane or forearm crutch, but it's not. I'm disappointed in my purchase as I like both my $100 arm crutch and $60 folding cane more than the Y Cane, but if I'm in the mood for something sleek or feeling particularly fatigued with the weight of a mobility aid I'll choose it. Otherwise I feel like I fell for the hype of the posture and wrist cuff aspects, neither really seems to make a difference
A
They seem well made and supportive, but I can't say for certain how they hold up to everyday use because the arm cuffs are much too small for me to use them. The company was very responsive to user comments and have a replacement in development, but the fact that this wasn't identified and addressed prior to production makes me question the quality of their R&D process. I do anticipate further concerns once I can actually use my Y-canes.
J
The cane absolutely does what it is meant to. Takes the pressure and pain out of my wrist. The wide base allows comfortable maneuvering across any terrain. However it isn't 5 stars because the part that rests against my forearm is barely padded and leaves a large bruise across my arm. The handle where I grasp is also made of a very rough bike handle like texture that shredded my palm upon first use. I have had to significantly modify my handle by padding and wrapping it in order to use it comfortably. However for the mobility it provides me it is more than worth it

I saw a video once that said when you get the right mobility aid for your needs you will know it because it will make your life easier and you move better. I’m happy to say that these are precisely what I needed! Neither canes, walkers, or wheelchairs have been helpful for my conditions but two of these y-canes is helping me zoom around both indoors and out. I move faster, easier, more precisely, and keep my balance. They help me maintain good posture and use my muscles more appropriately. My pain, balance, and fatigue have already improved. I didn’t think they could help me as much as they do! I haven’t tried other arm canes, so I can’t offer a comparison but you will always be very close to my heart for designing and making the first mobility aid to dramatically change my life! I’m going backpacking with them soon lol (very short distance, mostly camping) THANK YOU! ❤️🥳❤️🥳❤️🥳❤️

I gifted a pair of these to my best friend, and here is her review of them:
I have been enjoying my Y-canes, as they do suit my needs. My pain is better when I use them, so I will be using them more often when I get out of the house. One thing I wish could be improved is the weight-bearing aspect: I was hoping to be able to use them for that as chronic pain is now one of my main struggles. I do wish this product could be both supportive for walking, as well as for general weight-bearing on high pain days.
F
I’d actually give this 4.5 stars! The design is really nice and the canes are very comfortable to use. The main part of the cane is very sturdy and durable while maintaining a light weight. I did have an issue of one of the magnets immediately detaching, but customer service got back to me very quickly with a solution. My only reason for deducting half a star is that the padding on the wrist cuff is already starting to peel off in the corners due to the heat + humidity of where I live, coupled with near everyday use.
Otherwise, this is one of the best canes I’ve used and I’ve already noticed a huge difference in my posture and how much less my hands/wrists hurt after using the cane all day.
B
This cane is a total game changer!! It's so natural to use, I forget it's there. It truly just feels like an extension of me. I was using a forearm crutch prior to getting my Y-Cane, and it would give me shoulder pain and affected my gait pretty significantly. I feel like I'm walking more naturally now, and the shoulder pain is gone!
A
My first pair came in with some magnet issues. I had reached out for assistance and got a response within minutes. They sent me a replacement, and I sent back the other pair. It was fast and a simple process. And these have now been amazing. I have a lot of wrist pain when using a normal cane, but ive needed them for balance to relieve other pain. I havent experienced any of that wrist pain with my Y-canes. I'm so glad I got them, they have been so beneficial.
A
Very lightweight and easy to assemble!
The colors came out beautiful and very soft, I have large wrists so the link is just a bit small but they still work wonderfully!
A
I have found the Y-Cane much kinder to my wrists, elbows and shoulders than standard canes or crutch style mobility aids. They adjust in height easily, are light weight, and allow me to walk much more confidently and with better posture. The only problem I've had so far is the padding on the cuff bit seems to have issues staying stuck where it belongs and Ive had to fiddle with it a few times because its "slid" down, I do not know if this is an issue with the adhesive used, or if its related to how the cuff sits on my wrist, or something else entirely. Either way this problem is absolutely not a deal breaker, I walked over a mile a few days ago, which is the farthest ive walked in one go in literal years, and its thanks to the Y-Cane.
G
I as thrilled when my canes arrive. I am getting the hang of using them. My only issue right now is managing the two canes while trying to do other simple tasks. Baby steps, right?
K
This cane has felt more comfortable AND more supportive than the many others I have used.
C
The canes are perfect! They are so helpful with my stability!!!! Also I had an issue with items missing in my shipment and it was taken care of immediately!! I am very impressed! Thank you so much!
A
My husband's preference is the ability of a cane to stand upright on its own. Otherwise, it is very sturdy, comfortable and sleek.
A
Very easy to assemble and begin using - thank you!
M
I am not able to use them yet as my legs have not regained the strength required. I am working hard to get there with exercise twice a day and 3 sessions a week with my PT. They sit where I can see them constantly reminding me of the need to do all I can so I may use them. Will update you as soon as I have the priviledge of using them.
C
You never know whether to trust that a product is what it is hyped up to be - this one exceeds all expectations. The Y cane gives me a little power in my step, does not click, is comfortable to hold and walk with. I honestly think I can walk faster and farther with it, and definitely I walk with more confidence and more comfortably. It’s light weight but feels very solid and sturdy. Looks pretty sleek and non medical-depressing-geriatric. I got the rose gold, which is nice. Might also get another color in the future
A
I'm used to aluminum canes which are light, but also have trouble being leaned on for support (e.g., when I'm waiting in line somewhere). I was thrilled to have a wrist-neutral cane and it serves that purpose, but it's a little heavier than I would like. Maybe one day, Telo will offer a carbon-fiber version.
K
At 1st I thought they were a little heavy, balky...but I have been using trekking poles. The longer I use them, the more I like them. They provide as stable a base as a walker.
A
EXCELLENT!!!😊
A
Ive never felt so stable while standing in long lines, I really helps with weight management so im not putting all my weight on my good leg
J
I really like them! They are sturdy and comfortable to use. My only “note” would be that I wish the magnets were stronger so they could link together a bit more tightly. It would be convenient to be able to link them for example on stairs, when one hand is using a railing and the other the canes.
E
The cane feels sturdy and I don't feel the strain on my wrists that I get with regular canes. Im not a huge fan of the default grip, but luckily I can replace it with something a bit more comfortable. Overall I am pleased with the quality and appearance of these canes!
B
I just got my Y-Cane’s and they have made such an impact on my day-to-day life. They have fixed my two biggest problems with other canes, like being unbalance and putting extra stress on my wrist. Genuinely, the Y-Cane has increased my quality of life in just the past couple weeks I’ve had them.
D
They’re pretty and easy to set up. Never having used a crutch before, I am still learning how to manage. Especially on stairs. I could have used some better instructions on usage.
