Is great to drive, but it is sometimes difficult to use

What was your concern with this review?

My father (79 years old) has become severely visually impaired after a stroke and, unfortunately, has a disturbance in the perception on the left half of his body. He is very happy driving the Walker, thanks to the very large tires, and he also likes its elegant look. Although he rarely goes out when there is little light, I like that, thanks to the many reflectors, he is well visible in the dark.

He already had an outdoor model with the Dietz Taima XC, but he had had problems with the wobbly front wheels...

The driving characteristics of the Walker deserve five stars or even more. From my father's point of view, however, I must report that there are potential improvements for users with limitations.

For example, it happened that, while lifting the walker, it folded slightly on itself and the strap between the front wheels also came off. Fortunately, a passer-by was able to give him a hand.

Even using the parking brake is a problem for my father. I must continually re-explain to him how to use the little red lever.

The handles are not completely fixed, so they often tend to move slightly inwards or outwards.

At these points, unfortunately, the Walker lags behind conventional models. There is still room for improvement. A clearly audible click or a signal would help to figure out when the rollator is properly folded and when it is ready to be driven.

    Thank you for receiving my Veloped. I had high expectations after reading the very inspiring material on the website. But the reality surpasses your descriptions many times over, it is simply incomparable. Now I am revisiting the familiar forest path…

    I've had the Veloped Tour since November 2023. It's so great for me to be able to participate in life again. I've been undergoing immunotherapy for three years, which has weakened my muscles. But by walking with the Velped, I can compensate for a lot…

    Trionic Veloped works well when you are walking along pavements when it is snowy, dry or wet. It's also a very good walking aid to be used in the forest when you are walking along paths or even in more difficult conditions. If you decide to buy Trion…

  • A whole new quality of life for my husband with Parkinson's disease…

    Last week my husband asked me for a rollator that he had otherwise strictly rejected. On the Internet I quickly came across the company Trionic. The communication with Mr. Kindberg via chat and phone was great. Ordered on Tuesday and assembled on Thu…

  • Free with the Veloped…

    Really! Finally, I can start walking again with my partner. The security that the Veloped gives me allows me to go to the beach and the lawns when I’m on vacation. At home, we walk along the river or in the forest. Enjoying nature together without he…

  • Fantastic…

    I bought this as I have mobility issues and the rollator I currently have is totally unsuitable for uneven ground. I find it so much easier to use and have received many remarks about it.…

  • Veloped Sport 12"…

    I am extremely satisfied with my Veloped Sport 12er M navy blue / red / white. So far, I have only used it for walks in nature and therefore mostly in a moorland with many transverse, exposed tree roots and boggy, soft passages. My Veloped overcomes …

  • Haemophilus…

    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 …

  • Both Trionic buys have been absolute godsends.…

    Just a few words of praise for my Trionic Walker.

    I fell Friday week ago and broke my hip. I am 67 and have Post Polio Syndrome. I own both Walker and Veloped but following surgery and half hip replacement my Walker has really come into its own. M…
