What was your concern with this review?
I would like to divide the review into three parts.
First the positive, which also clearly predominates for us, even if the following 'negative' points may seem textually very extensive:
The driving characteristics are fantastic compared to ordinary rollators (smooth running, vibration-free, quiet, good obstacle overcoming, ergonomics, good and fast adjustment options, etc...). They have already been described many times and we can fully endorse these.
For many years, and thus for far too long, we struggled with standard rollators, with their hard, loud, shaking, tipping doll's pram wheels that were tiny in comparison. That was until a serious accident occurred in which someone fell over a rollator that was tilting forward (rollover) and was seriously injured.
The less good:
Unfortunately, the basket can only be used to a limited extent because it is covered by the seat.
'Loose' and small things can be put in easily. You can't get a full bag or rucksack through the gap. It is clear to us that the low or even non-existent tilt towards the front is not only due to the large wheels but is also achieved by the basket being located very far back. Therefore, there is a conflict in accommodating the seat at the same time.
This cannot be solved in any other way and should remain so in the interest of rollover safety. Perhaps a compromise would be possible by moving the basket forward at least a little, perhaps 5 cm?
Now the negative:
The quick-release fasteners on the wheels are a real disaster!
The rear wheels are removed in a total of 6 seconds, the front wheels in 20 seconds.
This means that it is possible to steal all 4 wheels in a maximum of 30 seconds.
It is of little use to lock up the frame if only the 'bodywork' remains. You don't have to be in 'socially deprived areas', theft is everywhere.
This means that you should never leave the walker unattended.
How suitable is that for everyday life?!? It hampers us a lot.
We think it is a great pity that the safety of the walker is sacrificed to the trend of
'crossover lifestyle cars' with their tiny flat boots, which no longer deserve this name.
Our appeal to you is therefore to offer a free version with normal bolted axle mounts, at least as an option. Basically, this should be even cheaper to realise.
With kind regards

Being clearly visible is about safety…
The rear lights can be easily seen from a distance and significantly increase safety in the darkness. Time will tell whether the stretchy fastening tape will hold up well in the long term.…
I have had my Trionic Veloped for two years now and I am very satisfied …
It is easy to manoeuvre, stable, holds a lot and it looks cool. I have tried other walkers with puncture-free tires, but I get muscle pain in my arms from them. I do not get that with the air tires of the Veloped. The rollator works great in the wood…
A liberation!…
My Trionic has liberated me. A walk with the dog has become a pleasure again. I easily and smoothly can walk on woodland trails, even soft beach dune sands, and a trek in the hills along pebbly paths is possible too! But it's convenient and cool to w…
Walking whereever you want…
There are many little towns in Germany, where the pavements are cobblestone. The Trionic Veloped makes it easy to walk around. The wheels are the best you can have, also for walking in the woods and fields.…

Great supplement for my Walking aids
I used the comfort stool this morning for a few hours while fishing, it was very comfortable and steady while sitting on it; I could cast from a sitting position without feeling I was going to fall off. Gettin…

I have had my Walker for about 6 weeks. I am delighted with it. It is very well made, sturdy, folds well for putting into the car for transport and is not too heavy. The service I have received is excellent. I had major spinal surgery for cancer and …
The Veloped Has Changed My Life - Yippee!…
My bicycle accident, four years ago, left me with such poor balance, that I struggled to walk with a stick. In fact, I found myself very reluctant to walk even short distances. There is the standard red rollator, something many elderly people have, b…
Excellent Product, well thought out…
This is an excellent product, once you have got over the price! There is not another like it on the market. The pneumatic tyres make a huge difference, especially on rough or non-existent roads. It's actually worth it. The brakes are not the best, th…

My Veloped arrived on time and in perfect condition, well packaged and easy to assemble. I am thrilled with it, makes walking so much easier and more comfortable than my old Walker. The company are friendly, efficient and made the whole ordering and …
