12er M/L REVIEW

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

I got my Rollator back in May of this year.

On the plus side the vehicle is wonderfully made --- design, materials, craftsman, elegant looks. My primary requirements are: 1) a high quality elite machine, 2) exceptional wheels and brakes, both running brake and emergency brake, 3) an exceptional seat and backrest 4) pneumatic tires,, 5) comfort, both when walking and when seated.

I would grade the vehicle as follows: Requirements 1), 2), and 4) --- A++. I would grade 3) --- D. The seat is just too small to be useful. My cheap DRIVE Rollator has a larger seat that is safer and more comfortable. I think it would be easy to incorporate a proper size seat into the design of this machine. I would likewise grade 5) as a D. I rest my arms on the handlebars when I am seated. The brake hardware
on the top side of the bars makes resting the arms there very uncomfortable. I think a simple design change could also solve this issue.

Before it could be corrected a fistula in my lower back damaged or killed some nerves in my lower back. As a result my legs are partially crippled and loaded with neuropathy. As a result I have no walking balance. The vehicle really supports and helps me walk fairly normally.
I am going to try to modify the Walker to see if it can
meet my needs. In the meantime, it is sidelined, and I am looking for a new Walker. .

Sorry to grade the Walker with 4 Stars. When you fix these problems on new designs, I will change my rating.

  • Great company - Great product!…

    I've been using a solid wheel rollator walker for 3 years. I wish I'd known about Trionic from the start! My old rollator broke for the second time in 2 years. They claimed it was an all-terrain rollator, but it obviously couldn't keep up with me as …

    I do enjoy my Trionic Veloped. However, I think the seat depth could be improved by making the rear verticals slightly further back (which would probably involve major costs!). Also, I do not find the front wheel combination very helpful and have con…

    I'm simply glad to own a Trionic Veloped.

    On the other hand, people talk to me every time I use it, whether it's shopping or a stroll. People are always interested in my Veloped and see its advantages over a conventional walker, then they take pic…

  • For my 95 Year Old Mother…

    I purchased the Veloped Trek 14er for my mother, who is 95, and recently moved to our rural home where there are no paved walkways. The Veloped had enabled her to manoeuvre over loose gravel and grass ground independently. I like everything about it;…

    Did a brochure request which arrived promptly from Sweden - why can’t local companies manage this!

    Realised I would be a questionable size in terms of fitting their machines. So I rang and got through almost immediately and had an extremely inform…

  • 2000 km in 16 months with the Walker 14er

    From August 2021 to the end of 2022, I covered just over 2000 km on dirt tracks, country, and forest trails with the Walker 14er, of which just over 1600 km in 2022 alone. My wife has always accompanied me. Apart from puncturing the front wheels twic…

  • Veloped - An Absolute Necessity!…

    In 2011, I was cycling to the bus station to take a bus into Manchester where I worked. I was hit by a car driven by a 74-year-old man who wasn’t looking for a cyclist (I had right of way!) and he struck me as he turned in front of me. My head struck…

    I am delighted with the Veloped Trek and have already covered longer distances with it. Now it allows me to walk without any problems, especially on bumpy paths. People approach me every day and admire the walker. It has attracted a lot of interest o…
