I’ve worked in the care industry till…
I’ve worked in the care industry till my retirement and have always been wary of walkers as they often look so unstable. All that changes when I spotted a Veloped in a magazine and started my research. I purchased my Veloped and have nothing but joy from it, now able to undertake longer walks without having to worry about being able to sit or what I can carry. This miracle can carry a full weeks shopping, move numerous books around the town with ease and is the wonder of all who see it. I live in a tourist area and am often stopped by strangers asking how I’ve found it and trying it out including Occupational Therapists, so much so I’ve volunteered as an Ambassador. I cannot recommend Trionic highly enough.

Having a Veloped has transformed my daily life. After years of dog walking I recently started to find walking difficult. Uying a second hand Veloped has enabled me to get back to enjoying the outdoors and have walked around 350 miles since getting it in November

My Trionic 14 walker has been a revelation in terms of mobility. I has enabled me to get out and about and is easily transportable in the car. From being able to cover a few hundred yards (slowly) I am now regularly walking around the park and thoroughly enjoying my new found freedom. Thank You.

A winning vehicle through and through!
This was said by the two-wheel specialist from Luneburg who recommended its purchase to me, and who emphasised the quality of the workmanship, the excellent braking system and the first-class components (brake levers, etc.).

I think my Veloped is excellent. I walk my dog for an hour every day, which used to cause me a lot of back pain after 20 minutes. Now I can walk without pain. I've also hiked 10 kilometres several times (with my dog). My Veloped is a real eye-catcher as such a device is not known here.

I have one suggestion for improvement: the dog should not be led by the hand, as it is difficult to keep it under control. I bought a hip belt and a flex lead. This means I always have physical contact with my dog. I have attached a guide for the lead to the Veloped so that he can't easily escape sideways, which is very helpful. However, the connection with a padded pipe clip is somewhat unstable. It may be possible to drill a hole next to the joint into which the lead guide can then be inserted

Instructions would be useful for problem-free installation.
I was almost desperate the first time I changed the handles. Removing them was easy, but putting them back on was very nerve-wracking without instructions. The second handle then went smoothly in a few minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a video on the internet either.

The parts themselves are good, but the replacement took far too long.

Bought this to chain up the walker on those occasions when I can't get the walker into a cafe or shop.

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.

The Veloped Sport is an absolutely brilliant machine which has completely changed my life.

I had another make of four wheeled walker, which was not comfortable to use and if I hit a small obstacle it felt as though I would go over the top of it.
No such problems with the Veloped; it tackles all sorts of obstacles in its path without any feeling of instability. This is truly the best walker on the market.
It's not cheap, but worth every penny!
I refer to it as my Rolls-Royce.

I bought the Walker 12 for my 79-year-old mother. It serves as a replacement for her health insurance company's rollator.
Recommend this product review to a friend:
The Walker 12 is superior in all disciplines. The large tyres effortlessly overcome the usual holes and bumps on footpaths. The ergonomic handles provide support and absorb shocks well.
The workmanship is impeccable. Tyres and axles with bearings promise long, carefree fun. The brakes can be easily adjusted to suit the user. I find the guided steering of the front wheels ingenious and unique. The ‘bouncing around’ of the front wheels has finally come to an end.
The frame is stable and cast from a single mould.
I would also like to mention the dedicated service. If you need it, it is always there to help.
There are a few downsides:
- the bag, which comes at extra cost, is relatively small. It's enough for a wallet and one utensil. It is not suitable for small purchases.
- The device is made in China. Inappropriate for a product in this price range. TRIONIC can do the same in Europe.
CONCLUSION: if you are not afraid of the price, you will get a reasonable product and a lot of fun.
