Its true; part of the reason I love my Trionic rollator 12er is because it just looks cool! I know, I know, that sounds so superficial—yet, it is important. I'm an active 53 year old with two teenagers, and I've had multiple sclerosis (MS) for over twenty-five years. When I walk around with my Trionic, it gets all of the attention instead of my wonky legs!! But that is not all… this rollator has so much more to offer than good looks. The Trionic rollator is solid and stable yet light enough for me to easily lift it in and out of the car! The Trionic rollator has brakes that work in the rain! From the tires—to the brakes—to the styling and fine construction, I feel good pushing this baby around! That good feeling keeps me pushing!
“The Trionic rollator has brakes that work in the rain!”
It was 1991, and I was 26 years old when the doctor told me that the optic neuritis and the tingling in my extremities would likely go on to become MS. “Get yourself a wheelchair picked out and start preparing for disability,” he told me… but I'm kinda stubborn, so I responded by becoming as active as possible.
Why? Because I just wanted to move while I still could. I stopped using elevators - stairs for me! We lived in Marin county, just north of San Francisco, at the time, and I immediately stopped driving to work and began commuting on my mountain bike.
Within a year, I was able to ride up Mt. Tamalpais in Marin! That's a 2,000 foot (610 meters) climb straight up! Turns out all the top research shows exercise is the best thing a person with MS can do to prevent progression of the disease! Lucky me!!
It's twenty-seven years later, and slowly but steadily, my mobility has become more limited. Today, I am grateful to live in a small coastal town in Northern California north of San Francisco. Unfortunately, our little town is tough going for a conventional rollator—some of our “sidewalks” are grass!
We have
some cobblestone streets and many gravel trails… the Trionic handles it all easily. Yes, I have MS, but life is still full of adventure! I'm not done living. I still
have much to explore — I still have much to give! With my Trionic, I can enjoy the gravel paths along the coast. With my outdoor rollator from Trionic, I can explore the botanical
gardens with my kids. With my Trionic, I can go all over Mendocino Village… with my Trionic rollator, I can live! — Check them out!
Thanks for the helping hand,

Bought the Veloped Trek. I have Charcot Marie Tooth Disease and have had increasing difficulty walking even with two hiking poles. Last week I was able to hike in the Beartooth Mountains and Yellowstone National Park for the first time in many years.…

I've had the Veloped Tour since November 2023. It's so great for me to be able to participate in life again. I've been undergoing immunotherapy for three years, which has weakened my muscles. But by walking with the Velped, I can compensate for a lot…
This stroller fits that bill.…
I am six feet tall and no lightweight so I was looking for something that would allow me to walk upright and be sturdy enough to support me ( I have a knee which gives way at any time). This stroller fits that bill.
I had to get used to it as previ…
Excellent piece of kit…
I bought the Walker to compliment the Veloped I already own. I use the veloped for fishing and shooting and "rough" walking. The Walker on the other hand I'm using on tarmac and designated walk ways. I find the Walker very stable and with 14" whee…

Totally satisfied…
The Veloped Trek is simply great. It climbs up the kerbs effortlessly and runs perfectly off-road. This is important for me because we have 2 dogs and therefore we also walk in the forest and field.
It's super easy to use as well as to adjust the …

My 87 year old mother is thrilled with her new walker. Instead of rattling along uneven footpaths and struggling up and down kerbs she now glides effortlessly over all the bumps and up high kerbs. Nothing like this wonderful walker is available in Ir…

Hi, My Trionic has given me support and good traction even in the snowy climate in Luleå, Norrbotten and in a way that Mr. Counsil never has been able to or was intended to do.
For me, Trionic is absolutely necessary for my rehabilitation when it co…

The Veloped works great as a carrying aid when shopping and you have heavy groceries to bring home. In the store you don't need a shopping trolley; you just grab a basket and place it on the seat for the groceries, pay in the register and it carries …
