Hello! How can we help you?

What is the best basic rollator technique?

1. Before you start
The first step is to adjust the height of your Trionic Walker. Let your arms hang freely – adjust the grip bar so that the rubber grips are set at wrist height. Adjust the front wheel according to your choice of walking terrain. For Trionic Walking in city areas or amongst a lot of people, the climbing/easy steering mode is the better choice. If you are heading for uneven roads or off-road, the climbing/suspension mode is the better choice. Always remember to push the seat forward for maximum walking space.

2. Exercising
Walking close to, more or less within, your Trionic Walker keeps your back straight. Try to relax and trust the off-road abilities of your Walker and lift your eyes from the ground. Now you have a much better walking posture, and you can also better enjoy the beautiful scenery. By varying your hand position on the grip bar during your walking session, you avoid static load. Brake slightly while descending in order to prevent the Trionic Walker from rolling away from you.

3. Walking pace
Practice Trionic Walking for periods between 15 minutes and 2 hours at a time. Keep a brisk walking pace and remember that your intensity and heart rate should allow you to hold a conversation. If you lose your breath you are walking too fast, and you should slow down for the best fat-burning and fitness effect. Always take a break and sit down to rest if you suddenly feel increasingly tyred.

Remember to check the tyres for correct air pressure every 3–4 weeks. The recommended air pressure is 1.5–2.0 bar, but if you do a lot of off-road walking, consider lower pressure for increased comfort.

  • Very pleased with my spare parts!…

    We installed the brake cable to my rollator. It was quick
    and easy, as it fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend it again if needed.

    At the same time, I would like to thank Trionic for the excellent products,
    from the rollator itself to the…

  • A truly exceptional device…

    After some unsuccessful research for a decent rollator suitable for tall and heavy people, I came across this device. With some scepticism, I ordered the Walker 14er and was surprised by the fast delivery. After unpacking and assembling it, which tur…

  • We are very !!! satisfied with the Veloped.…

    My 94-year-old mother walks 4 to 6 km a day with it in her beloved forest, it is easy to drive / steer, bumps are mastered without any problems, my mother is grateful, no longer feels as ‘shaken’ as with the old ordinary outdoor rollator.

  • Overall, I am satisfied.…

    I am 86-year-old and weigh 58 kg.
    The device looks good (to be envious), is well thought out and easy to assemble. What struck me:
    The heavy strain on the arm muscles
    - on uneven forest paths,
    - on inclines (effort needed to push uphill and to h…

    I bought my Veloped in July 2021 and I have never looked back. Having suffered with a back and balance problem for several years, walking with the Veloped keeps my back straight and I am no longer concerned about my balance as the frame gives me conf…

    Great supplement for my Walking aids

    I used the comfort stool this morning for a few hours while fishing, it was very comfortable and steady while sitting on it; I could cast from a sitting position without feeling I was going to fall off. Gettin…

  • 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 …

  • I bought the Walker after the Veloped…

    After careful consideration, I bought the Walker because I am no longer able to go off-road (I had the Trionic Veloped before).
    I was already familiar with the tyres.
    I have been using the Walker for several weeks now and I must say that I have bee…
