My Rolls Royce

9 9
Rating:

My Rolls Royce – a.k.a. Walker 12 – and me have now together undergone the ultimate test, namely the Stockholm winter 2018-2019 with snow plowing à la Stockholm municipality.

The sidewalks and walkways have either been covered in either 10 centimeters of snow slush or ice rink-style ice with caked-in tennis balls. Pedestrians have generally preferred walking in the actual streets to be able to get around, or clamped onto the building walls for support.

But not us! We have been able to navigate the sidewalks without any problems. The mobility in the cross leads to constant ground contact with all four wheels and adding the width of the Rolls to that, there has been no risk whatsoever of slipping or falling down.

We met a fellow sister among us walker-users, in a parking lot in the wet snow. She was dragging her walker, dragging because the wet snow had built up in front of the brake clamps and made it impossible for the wheels to rotate. Thankfully, the Walker 12 has disc brakes, so anything like that could never happen. The brakes always work in all conditions.

With the dogs in tow, I have walked along Lidingöloppet – a track in Lidingö – in loose and trampled snow. It works, even though it's strenuous, but would be completely impossible with another walker. The fact that there are ball bearings on the hubs and that the wheels are relatively big is probably part of the secret. The width of the walker is probably also a help.

If I could wish for anything, it would be a bigger loading space, but one can't have everything. I have acquired a roomy sport bag which fits the size of the seat perfectly, and I can keep it there fully packed when I walk, and when I need to sit, I just lift it off. With a strap around it, it holds steady.

I am more than happy with my purchase of Walker 12. It's a lot of money, but it's not the same thing as being expensive. If I keep another 10 years – and the Rolls also keeps that long without needing repairs – it will have cost me 83 SEK a month. I am so happy that I found and had the chance of getting it.

Ann-Marie got her life back through the Veloped
A lot of people who, due to their mobility issues, try to get around with the help of a conventional walker or rollator, have noticed how difficult it can be. A curb or even a threshold can be an insurmountable obstacle and a gravel path, lawn or sandy beach is hopeless. Getting out into nature can be more or less imposible. With this in mind, a special all-terrain walker, the Veloped, was invented and developed at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. The Veloped has changed the lives of ma

    Trionic Walker, a great device!!!…

    Just a great device, the 'Trionic Walker', which I ordered the end of June 2015 in Uppsala. Two days later, the Walker was already there. Due to a herniated disc which I had suffered in a fall from a bicycle, walking was always more difficult because…

    Great product…

    This is my 2nd Trionic rollator. Bought my 1st in 7/2018, a 12er. Decided I needed to stand taller, as I’m 6’3”, and the larger wheels of the 14er makes it a bit taller, plus they take the outdoor bumps and obstacles a little bit better than the 12 …

    Totally satisfied…

    The Veloped Trek is simply great. It climbs up the kerbs effortlessly and runs perfectly off-road. This is important for me because we have 2 dogs and therefore we also walk in the forest and field.

    It's super easy to use as well as to adjust the …
