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

Has allowed me to walk in a fashion that increases my stride and I am quickly getting in better physical condition. I can walk in a more upright position which doesn't irritate my back like a previous walker did. It is amazing how the climbing tire i…

The first ride with the Veloped was fantastic. We were able to walk with my mother again on paths in the forest, which was where we had last walked together years ago. This was simply not possible with the standard walker. There were also no problems…

This Walker is so much better than the one supplied by the NHS. It is quieter, very stable and easily adjusted. It fits on the back seat of our car easily. Provided the front wheels are in the right position it is easy to set up for use. It provides …

Really pleased with my Trionic Walker!
It's given my life a real lift! Last week I was able to go with my little grandchildren to a favourite beach which I had thought I would never be able to access again, we had such a lovely family day!

Field report after one year of use…
The advert and description in the brochure is 100% true. Nothing is exaggerated. Disadvantageous or not optimal are the tyres. The air escapes too fast. A severely handicapped person will then usually find it very difficult, because a petrol station …
14” walker.
It is brilliant. I am the envy of everyone who sees it. I broke two of the other types before getting the Trionic. It gives me the confidence to get out and live the life I wanted to. Thanks.…
