Outdoor Rollator for Uneven Rough Terrain
You will immediately feel the difference when you walk with a rollator with pneumatic tires. The Trionic Veloped Rollators and Walkers do not vibrate, not even when you walk over cobblestones.
Two crucial factors are at play when you want to walk without vibrations and sudden stops. The first factor is the air-filled tires, which give great suspension and less rolling resistance than a solid/hard tire. Conventional rollators are usually equipped with hard tires, and this type will transport more vibrations up to your shoulders and arms. With Pneumatic tires, like the Trionic Velopeds and Walkers are mounted with, you will minimize the problem. This is a pleasant solution for people with sensitive hands, wrists, or shoulders or users with back problems. The other factor is the problem with shimmying wheels, which is completely eliminated on the Trionic walking supports thanks to the Trionic Syncro Steering on the Walker models and the climbing wheel on the Veloped models.
Conventional Rollator = Boneshaker
Conventional rollators have brakes that 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.
Shimmying and skewed wheels
Shimmying and skewed swivel wheels are frequently mentioned by rollator users as being a definite problem area. When walking on uneven ground with a 4-wheeled rollator, sooner or later, one of the swivel wheels loses contact with the ground, starts shimmying, and regains its contact with the ground in a skewed position. As a result, the rollator often comes to an abrupt stop, and there is a considerable risk of the user tripping or even falling over.
Trionic Syncro Steering – Patent Pending
The new Trionic Walker rollator is equipped with a synchronized steering feature that eliminates the problems with shimmying and skewed swivel wheels. By connecting the swivel wheels with each other through a pulley/timing belt arrangement, the two wheels steer in unison. If one swivel wheel suddenly loses contact with the ground, the other wheel will still keep it positioned in your desired walking direction.
An additional central pulley guarantees that you will enjoy the same type of steering that your car offers called the “Ackermann Steering Geometry”. When you turn, the inner wheel is allowed to turn at a slightly sharper angle than the outer wheel.
Thanks to its clever design, the function of the Trionic Syncro Steering doesn’t get affected when you fold and unfold the rollator.
Rollators with Hard or Soft Tires
Older walkers have solid, hard rubber tires. Such small tires make the rollator easy to push on flat floors but cause a lot of vibration while walking outside. Especially outside, on uneven terrain, sandy roads, or even regular asphalt, the problem becomes even more evident.
If you like to walk with a rollator on rough terrain, a rollator with pneumatic tires is the preferable option for you. You can walk with less effort and spend less energy fighting the surface and considering where to walk to get ahead. Instead, you can spend your time walking and enjoying nature, gaining more comfort when walking along forest paths, bumpy roads, or merely walking around in old city centers.
