What was your concern with this review?
This is my second Walker 9er. We gifted the first one to a dear friend who was unable to buy her own and after a trial run it was clearly just what she needed to become more mobile. She is in her nineties and would agree with all my comments in this review.
So I made the purchase of walker number 2 and delivery was early, taking four days instead of the scheduled seven from Sweden to UK. The walker is a sturdy yet surprisingly light item. It looks as though it should be heavier. The wheels have solid rubberised tyres which have some bounce and make a soft ride. I use it mainly for indoors and shopping around the supermarkets. It has height adjustable handles and has provision for a seat backrest, but I found that the backrest was not very durable on the first walker and although Trionic replaced it under the guarantee the replacement did not last long, so I now use the new one without backrest. Quite honestly I found the walker more comfortable without it.
The two things which set the Trionic walker apart from any others that I have seen are the front wheel alignment mechanism and the hub braking system. The wheel alignment prevents ‘shimmying’ and is a marvellous invention. The brakes are smooth, powerful and easily adjustable. Occasionally the cables can snag on nearby furniture but that is not a real issue. However, a design that puts the cables inside the frame would be a great improvement both for convenience and streamlined appearance.
The walker stows easily in our ‘average’ saloon car. The supplied user guide shows how it folds easily and stresses the importance of locking the frame open to preserve the integrity of the wheel mechanism before use.
I also have a walker 14er for mainly outdoor use in town and on light, off-road situations. Plus, I have a veloped 14er for all-terrain walking. Based on my experience with these two larger models I would not recommend the walker 9er for rough terrain.
One criticism I often hear is that the Trionic range is expensive. Sorry, but you get what you pay for. Yes, the walker is not cheap but the quality of the item and the after sales service make it excellent value for money. Also, in UK, it is exempt from Value Added Tax.
Trionic Veloped Tour…
While looking for a new rollator to suit the rural area we live in, we came across the Trionic Veloped. After much help and guidance from Stefan, we ordered the Tour model and were absolutely delighted when it arrived on the scheduled day.

An excellent help for my illness…
I am thrilled with the high-quality production and fully assembled delivery of the Veloped. With a height of 194 cm, I can walk very well on it and have a firm footing even in the wind. Direct contact to Trionic by email works very well.…

Best customer & after sales service I've seen.

Great walker…
I bought this walker for my mother. Since we live in the countryside, it is easy to find yourself walking on uneven ground. In these moments, her wrists always hurt a lot. Now thanks to the Veloped this is no longer the case. Dirt roads and forest pa…
Tires…
The tires arrived very quickly, I mounted them and immediately I walked again.
I bought the Veloped first - Perfect! Later I bought the Walker to match it - Equally perfect, but I prefer the Veloped because it is longer in front and with it, I can r…
Perfect addition…
Now my precious Veloped is kept snug neat and secure.
Trionic You really have changed my life.
Thank you…
Great product…
This is my 2nd Trionic rollator. Bought my 1st in 7/2018, a 12er. Decided I needed to stand taller, as I’m 6’3”, and the larger wheels of the 14er makes it a bit taller, plus they take the outdoor bumps and obstacles a little bit better than the 12 …
