What was your concern with this review?
I would like to divide the review into three parts.
First the positive, which also clearly predominates for us, even if the following 'negative' points may seem textually very extensive:
The driving characteristics are fantastic compared to ordinary rollators (smooth running, vibration-free, quiet, good obstacle overcoming, ergonomics, good and fast adjustment options, etc...). They have already been described many times and we can fully endorse these.
For many years, and thus for far too long, we struggled with standard rollators, with their hard, loud, shaking, tipping doll's pram wheels that were tiny in comparison. That was until a serious accident occurred in which someone fell over a rollator that was tilting forward (rollover) and was seriously injured.
The less good:
Unfortunately, the basket can only be used to a limited extent because it is covered by the seat.
'Loose' and small things can be put in easily. You can't get a full bag or rucksack through the gap. It is clear to us that the low or even non-existent tilt towards the front is not only due to the large wheels but is also achieved by the basket being located very far back. Therefore, there is a conflict in accommodating the seat at the same time.
This cannot be solved in any other way and should remain so in the interest of rollover safety. Perhaps a compromise would be possible by moving the basket forward at least a little, perhaps 5 cm?
Now the negative:
The quick-release fasteners on the wheels are a real disaster!
The rear wheels are removed in a total of 6 seconds, the front wheels in 20 seconds.
This means that it is possible to steal all 4 wheels in a maximum of 30 seconds.
It is of little use to lock up the frame if only the 'bodywork' remains. You don't have to be in 'socially deprived areas', theft is everywhere.
This means that you should never leave the walker unattended.
How suitable is that for everyday life?!? It hampers us a lot.
We think it is a great pity that the safety of the walker is sacrificed to the trend of
'crossover lifestyle cars' with their tiny flat boots, which no longer deserve this name.
Our appeal to you is therefore to offer a free version with normal bolted axle mounts, at least as an option. Basically, this should be even cheaper to realise.
With kind regards

My walker Walter allows me to do country walks again, room in the basket for a picnic and a waterproof! Much better than walking sticks. I've had lots of compliments and questions from others struggling with their mobility and I explain how good the …

The off-road rollator is brilliant. In France I was out and about with it for about 10 km daily. I drove over bumpy gravel and stone paths, uphill and downhill, even on the sandy beach (that did take some strength though) and on the dried-out mudflat…
Very pleased with my spare parts!…
We installed the brake cable to my rollator. It was quick
and easy, as it fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend it again if needed.
At the same time, I would like to thank Trionic for the excellent products,
from the rollator itself to the…
Marvellous…

I searched for a long time and found the right one. I also had a great consultation with the German branch in Hamburg, and then I was sure. With this walker, I can still walk safely in the forest, despite the often difficult uneven terrain, without m…
Grateful Thanks.…
My husband has osteoporosis of the spine. Purchasing the Trionic Veloped has made a wonderful difference to both our lives. My husband can now step out and walk in a much more upright position. I no longer have the anxiety that he may fall, or that w…
Gave me my independence back!…
The Trionic 14” wheel walker has given me back the independence I had lost for years. For years I had to hold on to others if there was uneven ground, gravel or sand to walk on and just avoided those surfaces as I need to stop and sit regularly and i…

My Trionic Trek helps me travel to places on-and-off sidewalks, roads, and trails. Even in deep snow. I am especially fond of knowing that I have the absolute freedom of walking alone ANYWHERE within a ten-mile radius of my home (during the long dayl…
