Is great to drive, but it is sometimes difficult to use

What was your concern with this review?

My father (79 years old) has become severely visually impaired after a stroke and, unfortunately, has a disturbance in the perception on the left half of his body. He is very happy driving the Walker, thanks to the very large tires, and he also likes its elegant look. Although he rarely goes out when there is little light, I like that, thanks to the many reflectors, he is well visible in the dark.

He already had an outdoor model with the Dietz Taima XC, but he had had problems with the wobbly front wheels...

The driving characteristics of the Walker deserve five stars or even more. From my father's point of view, however, I must report that there are potential improvements for users with limitations.

For example, it happened that, while lifting the walker, it folded slightly on itself and the strap between the front wheels also came off. Fortunately, a passer-by was able to give him a hand.

Even using the parking brake is a problem for my father. I must continually re-explain to him how to use the little red lever.

The handles are not completely fixed, so they often tend to move slightly inwards or outwards.

At these points, unfortunately, the Walker lags behind conventional models. There is still room for improvement. A clearly audible click or a signal would help to figure out when the rollator is properly folded and when it is ready to be driven.

    My used Veloped has a non-original wheel. This wheel has a broken valve. I ordered an original tube and replaced it myself. I've never done that before; I'm 68 years old, and I did it alone. I was very proud of myself.…

    The pump fits the tyres perfectly and inflates them with minimal effort.

    Folded up, the pump can be stored in any backpack or can be attached directly to the Veloped with the supplied material. In this case, it is not the pump that is attached, b…

  • This review is totally voluntary!…

    I am 75 years old and I suffer from osteoarthritis, diabetes, and a heart issue. About six months ago, my wife and I decided to purchase a rollator from a well-known UK company. It was large and sturdy in design and I started using it and yes, it did…

  • I would like to congratulate Trionic…

    I would like to congratulate Trionic for producing such a fine piece of engineering; the Trionic Veloped. The ease of ordering, customer service, packaging, ease of assembly and of course the Trionic Veloped itself have all exceeded my expectations.…

  • Buying a ROLLATOR…

    Did a brochure request which arrived promptly from Sweden - why can’t local companies manage this!

    Realised I would be a questionable size in terms of fitting their machines. So I rang and got through almost immediately and had an extremely inform…
