Made for Walking

The people behind Trionic.

A small Swedish team with a big footprint. Two of us invented the Veloped at engineering school twenty years ago — and we still build every rollator the same way: hands on, opinionated, and obsessed with where the product can take you.

The team

Three people, one product family.

Co-founder · Manufacturing & production

Stefan Kindberg

Johan's co-inventor and partner, met at KTH. Together they developed and patented the climbing wheel at the heart of the Veloped. Stefan owns manufacturing and production — and through the company's hardest years, kept engineering and relocating the build until it worked. He now works remotely from the French Alps.

How we work

Small team, clear lanes.

Twenty years in, the division of labour is simple and deliberate — one side owns how it's made, the other owns how it reaches you.

Made right

Stefan owns manufacturing and production. The product is assembled in a contracted factory and finished — textile, brakes and grips — in Uppsala, so quality is checked close to home before it ships.

Sold direct

Johan owns design, marketing and sales. We sell directly to the people who use our rollators — so real feedback, reviews and thank-you letters shape what we build next. Every photo we publish is a real user.

"Had I known how much work it would be, I might have chosen something else — but I regret nothing."
— Johan Kuikka, co-founder
Made for Walking

The whole story behind the team.

From a seven-week summer studio to a near-death business crisis and a comeback — read how these three came to build the Veloped.

  • A real all terrain walker…

    I have finally found the perfect wheeled walker! The Trionic Veloped Tour 14er M. It is adjustable to be tall enough for me, which make a nice change, I am 6 foot and in the past walkers have felt too low, what totally blew me away was being able to …

    The design is perfect, I think, most importantly because it allows me to walk in an upright posture, thus easing lower back & shoulder pain. Its very sturdy construction has helped my balance a lot, & I feel much more secure when out walking, & able …

  • Forest Walks Again!…

    Since getting my Veloped Trek 14er I've been able to get out about in the Forests again. Have even managed to get half way up the Black Mountains in Wales. Also able to get out and take photos again, something I love to do!…
