A wheelchair having a detachable walker. The walker can be mechanically attached and detached from the wheelchair easily so that the user can safely rise from a sitting position on the wheelchair to a standing position assisted by the walker. During that transition, the user has the wheelchair attached to the walker in case the user falls backwardly or gets tired and wants to again be seated in the wheelchair. When the user has reached the standing position, the user can ambulate in a space intermediate the walker and the wheelchair or simply detach the walker from the wheelchair and continue ambulating while relying solely on the walker for support.
