Product Review

Robust, designed to be fit for purpose and that was just the cardboard crate!

What was your concern with this review?

From the start dealing with this company has been really good, Stefan that means you as individual, but much more than that the ethos of the company not only shone out in the response to my first tentative enquiry but in the ongoing communication through the purchasing process and continuing since I received the cardboard crate and its wondrous contents. Wondrous is the word I use because on every level the Trionic Velopod met and surpassed all my expectations plus making me aware of things I needed but did not realise until I began to use the machine. It has been tested in supermarket, busy high streetand sports stadium, mountain track, forestry trail, beach and stream. Without fail it has met my needs, carried shopping, rucksack, tripod and camera, picnic and much else besides all with no noticable difference in its manovarability. The change from urban to all terrain wheel set up is very easy to achieve even with hands that find it difficult to grip. The settings really do make a difference and certainly helped me achieve things I have not managed for a number of years. The delight to be able to take myself and dogs in to the forestry and traverse the tracks and streams we encountered was and is wondrous. To be able to go round a farmers market able to purchase fresh produce and not worry about causing myself pain as three cloth bags fitted easily in to the cavernous basket of the Veloped so that in season veggies and some special treats were safely transported to my car where bags were easily transferred as well as the Veloped itself, which really does fold up to a very manageable size and with the easily removed wheels becomes light enough for me to lift in to the car. The wheels travel resting between the folded up Veloped so don't take up any more room so that, in my case, there is room for two dogs to travel too. The build of the Veloped is of a very high specification, all welds are clean and unobtrusive. It looks robust and has indeed proved to be robust, giving me a real sense of stability and reliability even crossing a stone filled stream. The lack of horrendous jarring even on forestry tracks is really excellent and then in a supermarket being able to reduce its width was very helpful and facinated one small shopper who was riding in their mothers trolley:0) The Veloped has given me the confidence to go away alone, barring dogs, and know that I would be able to unload my car at destination and take bags across a field to our holiday home. The car would have become bogged down but the Veloped even well loaded made light of the spongey ground and did not become difficult for me to manouvre. Yes, the Veloped is not a cheap purchase in fact on a limited budget it made me think long and seriously. However, you REALLY do get what you pay for when you purchase the Trionic Veloped... great service from the company, a thought out well designed and executed machine, the sense that any problem no matter how small will be sorted with the same care and attention taken in the making and selling. BUT much more than these important elements the Veloped has, for me, given me real sense of possibility and even more importantly given me the confidence to begin again to exercise through walking regularly with my stable robust friend who generously carries my rucksack and lets me sit on their lap whenever I need:0)

  • The Veloped is a great invention...…

    The Veloped is a great invention and fills the gap that other conventional rollators cannot. The large smooth-running wheels and the twin wheel in the front make the ride wonderfully easy and provide support and, most importantly, allow you to walk m…

    Bit the bullet and bought the stool

    Bit the bullet and bought the stool as the seat on the Veloped doesn't suit me and I could use it else where too.
    It is expensive, but must say I'm impressed. Feels a bit like riding a horse, so encourages be…

  • 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…

    Sir, since the purchase of the above walker my wife has found she has less bother getting around, and no back and shoulder pain, after a days shopping. Glides easily over imperfections in footways and footpaths. I can not express how happy it makes m…

    My 87 year old mother is thrilled with her new walker. Instead of rattling along uneven footpaths and struggling up and down kerbs she now glides effortlessly over all the bumps and up high kerbs. Nothing like this wonderful walker is available in Ir…

  • Trionic Veloped – it's changed my life…

    I received my Trionic Veloped Tour at the end of September. I am so glad that I've got it.

    I used a walker before but even with that, I was loath to go for a walk and would find lots of reasons why I shouldn't go. All that has changed now with my …

  • Makes mum active…

    We bought the Tour 12er for our 92-year-old mother so that she can continue to walk her beloved forest paths after a triple pelvic fracture, which has permanently limited her mobility. After initial protests (I don't need a rollator, I'm not that fra…

  • Marvellous…

    I was bit sceptical about spending this much money but as they say you get what you pay for
    I had fallen over a couple of times with a small wheel trolley that had got stuck in gravel and jarred me off the handles
    Can't see that happening now I…

  • 2000 km in 16 months with the Walker 14er

    From August 2021 to the end of 2022, I covered just over 2000 km on dirt tracks, country, and forest trails with the Walker 14er, of which just over 1600 km in 2022 alone. My wife has always accompanied me. Apart from puncturing the front wheels twic…
