Design Details Built for You

Magnetic Clips

When you're not using your Y-Canes, built-in magnets keep them securely connected. Whether you're pausing at a counter or taking a seat, you can lean them against any surface so they’re always within reach.

Adjustable Height

With 12 adjustable height settings, you can find your perfect fit. Collapse the Y-Cane down for storage, travel, or tucking under a chair.

Silent, Grippy Tips

Includes rubber tips that are quiet, steady, and grippy. No more clacking when your cane meets the floor.

Bridging the Mobility Gap

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

See how the Y-Cane compares to popular alternatives.

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 and measure from the floor to the crease of your wrist. If your measurement falls within this 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
