  • Transport bag…

    Excellent transport bag, worked out great on my last flight, the Walker was packed very well and survived the stay in the cargo hold without any scratches or other damage.…

  • Anne Mears…

    I love the fact that I can walk in the countryside again and not be fazed by rough terrains like large gravel, grass paths and uneven surfaces. It means I can get away from cars and houses and surround myself with greenery. This lifts my spirits and …

  • 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 …

  • New Lease of Life…

    My Trionic 14 walker has been a revelation in terms of mobility. I has enabled me to get out and about and is easily transportable in the car. From being able to cover a few hundred yards (slowly) I am now regularly walking around the park and thorou…
