Are larger wheels better on a rollator?

The performance of a rollator or walker relies heavily on the size of the wheels. The bigger the wheel, the easier it is to pass obstacles and uneven ground, and the comfort level also increases with the wheel size. A bigger wheel simply performs better than a small wheel, especially outdoors.Conventional rollators usually have only 8"/20 cm small wheels that do not even manage to overcome smaller thresholds.

  • I can walk again…

    Due to the severe deterioration of my spine, I was no longer able to walk more than 100 meters or so. By chance I came across Trionic. The description convinced me and so I bought the product. After the fast delivery I was thrilled about my first "tr…

  • Out n about pram wheels…

    Fits fine on out n about pram wheels. Not perfect but working well now for a couple months.
    The tyre profile is slightly narrower and with deeper tread than the default ones. Doesn't seem to be causing any performance issues! Slightly more mud comin…

  • Improved quality of life…

    Since my severely disabled sister (spasticity) started using the Trionic Walker 12", sudden wheel locks on the numerous uneven road surfaces, as well as on sandy and grassy areas, are a thing of the past. It's safer for her and a great comfort for us…

  • The latest 5 star walker…

    The Trionic 12er is a very stylish and sturdy successor for my husband's previous walker. It looks weightier in design than previous models but is in fact unbelievably light in handling.

    Its pneumatic tyres provide a very smooth walk and allow ea…

  • Excellent…

    This is the best walker I've had. Love that it doesn't "shimmy" when I walk. Also, the brakes hold so much better than the pressure style.…

    As promised my Veloped arrived within two weeks. It was well packaged in a sturdy box & only needed the…

  • Walker 12''…

    Exactly what I have been looking for. Exceptional build quality. The larger pneumatic tyres make it so easy and comfortable to walk with.…

  • Essential for urban hiking…

    So much easier to use than the 12 er. The fact that it can climb most curbs in Boston is nothing short of genius! The 14 inch wheels make on and off-roading such a breeze and a very smooth ride throughout! I go about 7 miles a day on my Veloped, and …

  • My new Trionic walking partner…

    I had read positive reviews on the Trionic Sports Veloped after research on a suitable walking aid. I have been using Norwegian walking poles but my osteoporosis and arthritis were limiting my walking. I ordered one through Mobility Smart in Preston …
