Hello! How can we help you?

What tyre pressure should my Trionic rollator have?

Conventional rollators have rock-hard solid tyres that offer nothing in the way of comfort when you are walking on cobblestones, gravel and uneven ground. Many rollator users are forced to struggle to get to the supermarket, and the use of a rollator frequently causes severe pain in the hands, elbows and shoulders.

Trionic Velopeds and Walkers are all equipped with air-pressured tyres (except Walker 9er)
Air-pressured tyres have several advantages; they offer you a soft and plush ride and unbeatable comfort. As they do not cause vibration like solid tyres, you are less prone to suffer pain and discomfort in your hands, elbows, and shoulders when you walk on uneven ground.

Our Trionic X-Country tyres are not puncture-free, they are puncture-protected, and there is a big difference. To secure your tyres the best, the user must keep track of the tyre pressure to keep the tyres healthy and air-filled to get as good comfort as possible.

We recommend a tyre pressure of 1.5 bar (21.7 psi) as we have noticed fewer vibrations, and the protection works the best, which minimizes the Veloped's or Walker's bouncing on uneven ground.

How to keep track of the pressure?
We recommend checking the pressure every second/third week to maintain good comfort.

Go somewhere (maybe a local petrol station) and get the exact amount of air in, then squeeze the tyre a few times for the next couple of hours to get a feel for how stiff it needs to be. Then you can use your pump at home and get good tyre pressure.

This picture demonstrates what happens when you have the wrong tyre pressure.

The left image is correct and shows that the puncture protection will work a lot better than the right picture, where you have a more significant risk of getting a puncture. On the right image, it might be enough to hit a sharp stone or something else on the tyre side and then you might get a flat tyre.

  • Great Ferrari among the rollators…

    My mother, 84 years-old, can finally walk on the streets of the city again without pain in her shoulders and wrists. She doesn't feel the cobblestones at all. Overcoming train tracks is now child's play. With her previous rollator, which was not a st…

  • Brilliant Product…

    After buying a Veloped Tour in 2014 I had no hesitation in purchasing the 9 er Rollator to help support me around the home. It is much sturdier than other walkers I have tried giving me the support to help with my balance and walking which is affecte…

  • Worth Every Penny - Best "Walker" on the Market…

    I had been looking for a walker with larger, rubber tube tires forever it seemed. The small, hard, plastic tires on all walkers are only good for very short distances on even surfaces. Then I saw this product and I chatted and spoke to the company …

  • The Veloped, my support in life…

    I absolutely love it. It makes me dare get out for walks. I have balance difficulties, but the Veloped makes me not afraid of falling anymore. The fact that it's also good-looking doesn't make matters worse either.…

    After a few weeks of use, my foot no longer hits the front wheel and the problem I had with navigating the unit in tight corners in the climbing mode has ceased. I suppose it was simply a matter of accustoming myself to the unit that resolved these m…

    I’m 69. Sadly, cancer attacked my spine. I lost the ability to walk, had lots of treatment at Clatterbridge Liverpool, and then home physiotherapist visits. I’m now walking slowly.

    Had several walkers, none worked for me, but this one, on the cont…

  • Walker 12…

    I bought the Veloped Tour 1.5 years ago and I'm very happy with it. The only problem was that the trunk of our car was too small. So I bought a travel rollator (it's not that expensive). We went to the North Sea and the travel rollator didn't meet my…
