What was your concern with this review?
My Rolls Royce – a.k.a. Walker 12 – and me have now together undergone the ultimate test, namely the Stockholm winter 2018-2019 with snow plowing à la Stockholm municipality.
The sidewalks and walkways have either been covered in either 10 centimeters of snow slush or ice rink-style ice with caked-in tennis balls. Pedestrians have generally preferred walking in the actual streets to be able to get around, or clamped onto the building walls for support.
But not us! We have been able to navigate the sidewalks without any problems. The mobility in the cross leads to constant ground contact with all four wheels and adding the width of the Rolls to that, there has been no risk whatsoever of slipping or falling down.
We met a fellow sister among us walker-users, in a parking lot in the wet snow. She was dragging her walker, dragging because the wet snow had built up in front of the brake clamps and made it impossible for the wheels to rotate. Thankfully, the Walker 12 has disc brakes, so anything like that could never happen. The brakes always work in all conditions.
With the dogs in tow, I have walked along Lidingöloppet – a track in Lidingö – in loose and trampled snow. It works, even though it's strenuous, but would be completely impossible with another walker. The fact that there are ball bearings on the hubs and that the wheels are relatively big is probably part of the secret. The width of the walker is probably also a help.
If I could wish for anything, it would be a bigger loading space, but one can't have everything. I have acquired a roomy sport bag which fits the size of the seat perfectly, and I can keep it there fully packed when I walk, and when I need to sit, I just lift it off. With a strap around it, it holds steady.
I am more than happy with my purchase of Walker 12. It's a lot of money, but it's not the same thing as being expensive. If I keep another 10 years – and the Rolls also keeps that long without needing repairs – it will have cost me 83 SEK a month. I am so happy that I found and had the chance of getting it.

Due to ongoing health problems, Maurice (as my 12er has been dubbed) and I have not had as many outings as I would have wished but on each occasion, he has not let me down on the rough, uneven ground, whereas my conventional Rollator would balk at th…
THANK YOU Trionic!…
My Veloped Sport has brought me back to being outdoors and walking with much greater ease, comfort and joy! I have Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis, with progressive spasticity in my legs, which has moved me from a former very happy long-distance/marat…
Pure relief!…
I am the kind of person who likes to read reviews, but rarely gives any. But this time I want to share my enthusiasm with others. Due to my MS illness, I am pretty much dependent on a walking aid. So far, I have been using my walking sticks. Since we…
Truly superior…
Our son is very happy with this high-quality rollator. The very good brakes in combination with the large pneumatic wheels give him much more safety than he had with previous rollators. The handles are also much better than on his former ones. The sy…
Outstanding…
Although the Veloped Tour is an expensive investment, it is well worth it.
It has given me mobility that no other rollator provides. I can now navigate uneven terrain, cobble stone streets, curbs and even pot holes with ease. I intend to take it wit…
Rollator…
A wonderful device!
This purchase was one of the best purchases of my life. As a severely disabled person, I have used several "health insurance rollators".
The new Veloped has improved my quality of life enormously.
This Veloped really gets me t…
Improved quality of life…
Since my severely disabled sister (spasticity) started using the Trionic Walker 12", sudden wheel locks on the numerous uneven road surfaces, as well as on sandy and grassy areas, are a thing of the past. It's safer for her and a great comfort for us…
Life changing purchase and brilliant company…
From start to finish, the whole process of buying a Trionic 14er W was easy. The walker is exceptional and has changed my life, enabling me to access terrain previously out of my range. The customer service was also exceptional and customer-friendly.…
