Made for Walking

The people behind Trionic.

A small Swedish team with a big footprint. Two of us invented the Veloped at engineering school twenty years ago — and we still build every rollator the same way: hands on, opinionated, and obsessed with where the product can take you.

The team

Three people, one product family.

Co-founder · Manufacturing & production

Stefan Kindberg

Johan's co-inventor and partner, met at KTH. Together they developed and patented the climbing wheel at the heart of the Veloped. Stefan owns manufacturing and production — and through the company's hardest years, kept engineering and relocating the build until it worked. He now works remotely from the French Alps.

How we work

Small team, clear lanes.

Twenty years in, the division of labour is simple and deliberate — one side owns how it's made, the other owns how it reaches you.

Made right

Stefan owns manufacturing and production. The product is assembled in a contracted factory and finished — textile, brakes and grips — in Uppsala, so quality is checked close to home before it ships.

Sold direct

Johan owns design, marketing and sales. We sell directly to the people who use our rollators — so real feedback, reviews and thank-you letters shape what we build next. Every photo we publish is a real user.

"Had I known how much work it would be, I might have chosen something else — but I regret nothing."
— Johan Kuikka, co-founder
Made for Walking

The whole story behind the team.

From a seven-week summer studio to a near-death business crisis and a comeback — read how these three came to build the Veloped.

  • The Veloped in south-west Germany (Black Forest)…

    I am very enthusiastic about my Veloped. As I am almost 87 years old and unfortunately can no longer walk in the woods with Nordic walking poles, my daughter was looking for a real alternative to the ‘normal’ walker and she found it very quickly, she…

  • Good Robust Walking Aid…

    I am very pleased with my new Trionic walker. The main reason I bought it was that my previous walker had small solid tyred wheels and was very uncomfortable on my arms and wrists particularly if the ground was uneven.

    I was bit sceptical about spending this much money but as they say you get what you pay for
    I had fallen over a couple of times with a small wheel trolley that had got stuck in gravel and jarred me off the handles
    Can't see that happening now I…

  • I am glad that I bought this expensive rollator…

    I have nothing to complain about, I am completely satisfied. At 91 years old and with a few complaints, I do my daily fast walk to mobilise the circulation. (I couldn't walk fast with the one paid from the health insurance.)

  • The Veloped was delivered quickly……

    The Veloped was delivered quickly. I am very satisfied with the technology and equipment. It can be used very well in the intended areas in the city and its surroundings and offers the hoped-for relief and help. I am very satisfied with that. I arous…

  • The Veloped 14er is now my travelling companion…

    The Veloped 14er arrived this afternoon! I immediately trained my circulation on a 2 km excursion; the upper handle height adjustment fits my needs perfectly. The excellent documentation on the website made it very easy to set up the order.

  • Perfect…

    The bottle holder is perfect!…

  • Just fantastic!…

    I am 50 years old, my spine and joints are barely able to bear weight due to rheumatic and orthopaedic health disorders. In 2022 I also had a stroke with hemiplegia, which has improved somewhat, but I still have very serious limitations. (I am severe…
