Fantastic ergonomics, theft protection a disaster

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

I would like to divide the review into three parts.

First the positive, which also clearly predominates for us, even if the following 'negative' points may seem textually very extensive:
The driving characteristics are fantastic compared to ordinary rollators (smooth running, vibration-free, quiet, good obstacle overcoming, ergonomics, good and fast adjustment options, etc...). They have already been described many times and we can fully endorse these.
For many years, and thus for far too long, we struggled with standard rollators, with their hard, loud, shaking, tipping doll's pram wheels that were tiny in comparison. That was until a serious accident occurred in which someone fell over a rollator that was tilting forward (rollover) and was seriously injured.

The less good:
Unfortunately, the basket can only be used to a limited extent because it is covered by the seat.
'Loose' and small things can be put in easily. You can't get a full bag or rucksack through the gap. It is clear to us that the low or even non-existent tilt towards the front is not only due to the large wheels but is also achieved by the basket being located very far back. Therefore, there is a conflict in accommodating the seat at the same time.
This cannot be solved in any other way and should remain so in the interest of rollover safety. Perhaps a compromise would be possible by moving the basket forward at least a little, perhaps 5 cm?

Now the negative:
The quick-release fasteners on the wheels are a real disaster!
The rear wheels are removed in a total of 6 seconds, the front wheels in 20 seconds.
This means that it is possible to steal all 4 wheels in a maximum of 30 seconds.
It is of little use to lock up the frame if only the 'bodywork' remains. You don't have to be in 'socially deprived areas', theft is everywhere.
This means that you should never leave the walker unattended.
How suitable is that for everyday life?!? It hampers us a lot.
We think it is a great pity that the safety of the walker is sacrificed to the trend of
'crossover lifestyle cars' with their tiny flat boots, which no longer deserve this name.
Our appeal to you is therefore to offer a free version with normal bolted axle mounts, at least as an option. Basically, this should be even cheaper to realise.
With kind regards
(Subject to additions)

    My Trionic Walker arrived on time as promised. A really efficient company to deal with. Already ‘test driven’ and really kind to arthritic neck and shoulders as there is hardly any vibration due to large pneumatic wheels. Also, walk from hips rather …

  • Great walker! Trionic is the brand I recommend!!…

    I’ve been using my walker since June 2025 and it has helped immensely. It is a workhorse! I can take it across lawns, curbs and gravel without hesitation that stopped my two former walkers cold. There is no better feeling than to SIT safely and comf…

    My 87 year old mother is thrilled with her new walker. Instead of rattling along uneven footpaths and struggling up and down kerbs she now glides effortlessly over all the bumps and up high kerbs. Nothing like this wonderful walker is available in Ir…

  • My travel walker…

    I bought the Trionic Veloped a few years ago for the outdoor use, specifically to walk my dog over rough terrain. After my dog and I got a bit older (almost 15 and 70 years old), I also bought the Walker 9er to be used indoors and as a 'travel walker…

    I couldn't change direction and reverse it out of my (narrow)hallway as the wheels were touching both walls at the same time…

  • My new sense of balance…

    My father-in-law is 86 years young and has visual and balance problems. When he walks (like a penguin), with his legs apart and with splayed arms, he has to concentrate very hard on his balance, which makes him so fatigued that he starts to falter af…

  • 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…

  • FANTASTIC!!…

    I purchased the Veloped because I have significant issues with balance and instability in my knees due to arthritis that result in a high risk for falling. These issues had severely limited me from outdoor activities like going to the beach just enjo…
