Rollators with 50% Softer PU tires than Conventional Rollators
Solid tires are from the last century. Conventional rollators have them because the brakes use the tire surface to function. Sadly they also wear down the tire fast if you brake when walking downhill.The downside is that they are rock hard to be durable enough for the brakes to function.
Our Rollator Walker 9er comes with PU (Poly Urethane rubber) or EVA tires. The PU tires offer almost the same comfort as pneumatic tires, higher rolling comfort than soft synthetic rubber tires.
Conventional Rollator = Boneshaker
Conventional rollators have brakes which work directly on the tire surface, which requires solid tires that are more or less rock-hard, otherwise the brakes will wear out the tires very quickly. These rock-hard solid tires offer nothing in the way of comfort when you are walking on cobblestones, gravel and uneven ground. Many rollators users are forced to plague themselves just to get to the supermarket, and the use of a rollator frequently causes severe pain in the hands, elbows and shoulders.
Trionic Walker = Top Comfort
Thanks to its exclusive hub brakes the Walker 9er can be equipped with SuperSoft PU-tires, that are about 50% softer than conventional rollator tires. The SuperSoft tires offer you a plush ride and a high comfort level. As they do not cause vibrations like conventional rollator tires do, you are less prone to suffer pain and discomfort in your hands, elbows and shoulders when you walk on uneven ground.
