Hello! How can we help you?

My Walker is hard to fold, or the folding lock is jammed – what can I do?

If your Walker has become stiff to fold or unfold, or the folding lock is jammed and won't open, the locking mechanism usually needs lubricating. The lock sits under the seat on the left side: spray the latch, the pin and the spring with Teflon (PTFE) spray or oil, then open and close the lock a few times so the spray works its way in.

The red folding strap has broken

The red strap behind the seat is what you pull to fold the Walker. If it has dried out or snapped, order a new Walker Seat Strap. Cut off the old strap, thread both ends of the new strap through the seat the same way as the old one, and attach them to the key rings with the help of a flat screwdriver. Photos of each step are in How do I attach the red handle to the Trionic Walker?

The folding joint keeps coming apart

If the part that comes loose when you pull the red strap keeps coming apart, a small 6 mm circlip (SGA retaining ring) may be missing from the groove behind the aluminium bar at the folding joint. We don't stock this circlip, but a local bike shop can fit one – it needs circlip pliers.

  • BRILLIANT MACHINE AND EXCELLENT SERVICE…

    I emailed Stefan in Sweden to ask various questions about the Veloped. He phoned me back and he couldn't have been more helpful. He was able to match the price of a UK supplier, who offered the Veloped VAT free for people with a registered disability…

  • Based on excellent experiences with the Veloped and the Walker…

    Based on my excellent experience with the Veloped, I also bought the Walker for my mother to use in the city. So far, my mother is completely satisfied with both mobility aids. Both walkers are robust, well-designed and make a very good impression.

    Everything positive has already been said in earlier reviews, so I'll concentrate on my experiences here on Coastal Lancashire, with its paths through sand dunes and pine forests.

  • So good we bought a second one…

    We bought the Veloped Sport as we live on a farm and have horses and were very pleased with it and felt safe using it. But we found it a bit large for some situations like hospital appointments and getting it in the car. So bought the walker as well.…
