What was your concern with this review?

I’m 37 with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. I’ve been using rollator walkers for 3-4 years. They are great for indoors but lack completely when the ground is anything but smooth.

To stay mobile, I need to walk regularly. I searched for a walker with pneumatic tires for a while, but reviews always pointed out poor quality. When a fellow with PPMS recommended Trionic, I was eager to research.

I’m in the US and was concerned it wouldn’t be available for me without outrageous shipping. I was wrong! I got the free catalog and spoke with customer service to make sure I chose the right one for my height. The cost was the hardest to comprehend until I received it.

Walker arrived fully assembled and ready for use. The quality couldn’t be better. I’ve been using it for 3 months. Besides my local walks, I’ve done the MS walk, taken it to a Colorado ranch, and did a Mudgirl obstacle 5k.

My arms and hands don’t fatigue as it rides smoothly over every type of surface (grass, pebbles, stone, sand, etc.). The seat with a backrest is perfect for my frequent necessary breaks to rest. It’s comfortable with just enough give and support. The only area I’ve had to adjust to is the breaks; they are sensitive. I'm sure my husband can figure out how to adjust. Currently, there is an in/between wheels lock with even the slightest pressure from the breaks.

Overall, I recommend this Walker 100% for anyone who needs extra support outside. (I needed the four-point frame for the extra balance and stability as well, so I haven’t tried their other frame).

  • PERFECT…

    Perfect, because you can walk upright and avoid walking with a bent back. The back improves the more you walk.
    A tip: When folding the Veloped, there should be a latch that keeps the frame locked in a folded state.
    Missing holes to put a nameplate …

  • Brilliant walker…

    Can’t believe that this walker has made such a difference to my life. I can walk over uneven ground, cobblestone paths and rough ground without needing to push any harder than on even terrain, thus avoiding painful arms and shoulders. The walker is r…

  • Trionic Veloped…

    Having seen the veloped advertised in Saga magazine and being not very happy with my current rollator (small solid tyres) I ordered the Trionic. Very impressed with the ordering and delivery process. On unpacking and assembling the device (very easy …

    The Veloped arrived well packed and in perfect condition within a very short time. It was super easy to set it up for use: it was ready in 5 minutes!
    My husband loves it and uses it every time he walks. Since then, he has been able to walk twice the…

  • A Dream Machine…

    I spent many, many hours at the Trionic facebook group, asking questions, reading all member comments about every aspect of the Veloped. I placed my order for the 12" Tour version based on those glowing and also quite candid reviews. As it transpired…

  • More life quality again thanks to Trionic-Veloped…

    I am absolutely thrilled with the Veloped that was delivered last Monday on time. The meticulous packaging (very sturdy cardboard) made me already curious. Thanks to the detailed and richly illustrated assembly instructions even at the age of 83 I wa…

  • Like winning the lottery!…

    Due to my illness, COPD, knee joint operations and balance problems caused by spinal surgery, I could only walk in a limited way in our large garden, which has no paved paths. I absolutely could not cope with a normal walker. Therefore, this model wa…

  • Super article…

    We are absolutely satisfied.
    The rollator is really exclusive.
    You don't feel as if you are using a "walking aid". We are often asked how great it looks, not as "rickety" as all the others you get.
    And it is nice and light.
    We are happy to recom…

  • Walker 14er Happiness…

    I bought the Walker 14er for my husband (who didn’t think his mobility was bad enough to warrant a walking aid. However, I thought differently.) After using it for less than five minutes he absolutely loved it and it’s changed his mobility completely…
