The front right Walker wheel has started to wobble and turn sideways?

When you turn with your Walker, the left and right front wheels must be able to turn differently. If you turn left, the left wheel will turn more, as its turning radius is smaller than the outside right wheel.

Just like a car, the Walker has a 'stub axle steering', which is provided by the big black centre pulley of the Syncro steering, and this pulley moves back and forth when you are steering.

The two front wheels cannot be dead parallel at all times, as you then wouldn’t be able to steer the Walker properly.


When the Walker is folded, the Syncro belt is slackened, and you have most certainly, unintentionally, managed to get one of the front wheels turned one full turn in relation to the other front wheel.

When unfolding the Walker, please always do as follows:

  1. Grab the handles and unfold the frame as far as possible.
  2. Grab the right handle and lift the right front and rear wheels off the ground a little.
  3. While holding them lifted, press down on the left rear corner of the seat to lock the Walker in walking mode (with your left hand).

If done as above, the unfolding is easier as the right wheels do not slide along the ground (increased friction), and the right front wheel is free to turn into its aligned position.

Please fold and then unfold your Walker as described above, and the problem will disappear.

  • So, so happy…

    I am so happy with my veloped, it's made walking so much easier. I enjoy being in the countryside , in the woods and tracks. With the usual walker with four corner wheels I found it difficult with stones and roots and branches but the veloped just gl…

    I am very pleased with the Veloped Sport; it has helped my walking and my back a lot. It is heavier than I had expected especially pushing it uphill. However, at 90, it has given me a new lease of life.…

  • Walker 12…

    I bought the Veloped Tour 1.5 years ago and I'm very happy with it. The only problem was that the trunk of our car was too small. So I bought a travel rollator (it's not that expensive). We went to the North Sea and the travel rollator didn't meet my…

  • Finally, it is possible to be active in a relaxed way again!…

    At the age of 54, due to a sudden illness, I went in a very short time from being an active athlete to someone who only walks unsteadily, with small, wide-legged steps and in pain. This slow and forced walking also caused me severe Achilles tendiniti…

    The Veloped has become my faithful companion. I can only recommend it. My range of motion has increased fourfold, giving me a better life quality. Thanks to the team for such a design. I would like to see it distributed more in Germany as well.

  • Very good choice for a disabled girl, almost 9 years old...!…

    We bought the Trionic Veloped to our daughter. She is nine years old this summer so Veloped is not really suited for her size yet. But, we still think it works very well in terrain and that was exactly what we were searching, for such a long time!

  • Hello (Tjänare!). I am very satisfied…

    Very well constructed! Manoeuvrable, good for off-road use, easy to put in the car. Only favourable weather can't be arranged, but spring is coming.
    Many greetings!

    The difference between my old rollator is amazing.
